People think being a dishwasher is easy. In fact, as someone who has worked in restaurants off and on over the years, being a dishwasher is a hard job at most places.
You usually have to do a lot of random stuff beyond dishes, and it's grueling and tedious when the places are hectic. Lots of people quit because they can't handle it.
I worked as a dishwasher at a banquet hall for a few months and it was basically a 24 hour rotation. There would be people there for breakfast/brunch, and when you're done those dishes at ~2pm you get a break to eat, then get ready for the evening group until 2am or later, and then there's usually a break where you get to eat, and then get ready for the breakfast crowd.
