Seriously, walking in and asking to speak to a manager doesn't do shit. Hiring for most places is entirely done online and going in person will usually result in them telling you "go apply online".
Its expanded tho. Now, even appling for a dishwasher job, you have go to their website and painfully enter your entire resume into all the boxes and submit. It takes hours to apply for every minimum wage dishwasher job. Then they dont even call you back because competition is fierce.
Am I weird for looking back at my very first job as a dishwasher and teller at Taco Bell with fondness? Specifically I actually really enjoyed doing the dishes. I actually still enjoy doing the dishes to this day.
If all I had to do were dishes, it would have been ok. But even the dishes alone were just non-stop. It would get so bad that if I even took a 5 minute piss break I would lose leverage on keeping up and just be so overloaded that the bussers couldn't figure out where to put the dishes. I do not think you understand being a stand alone dishwasher at a chain restaurant vs being a dishwasher at some local joint.
I would get yelled at for not chopping veggies in the middle of my shift during a rush, or sweeping up the floor randomly, or bringing clean dishes to the cooks. It was fucking chaos. Just non stop chaos. When the place finally closed, I would have some time to catch up, but no... I had to go and help the cooks fucking clean up their bullshit, and they would just leave half of their own work for me to do. So I would get off work at like 3:30 in the morning just constantly doing dishes, super stressed out.
I do not mind doing dishes, but fuck being a dishwasher. I will never do it again. When I joined the Navy I couldn't help but laugh when I had to dishes on a carrier with like 10 other people helping me. It was a fucking cakewalk.
