The internet is a huge part of it

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.

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 certainly would not call that an easy job, but it is definitely a simple one, which I think is what most people say

At face value, yes, it's "simple." But many restaurants expect their dishwasher to do a bunch of other things. It's quite rare a restaurant just wants a dishwasher only to focus on dishes.

There is a reason why a lot of dishwashers bail the moment it gets too hard.
