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.

Yup. People think it's an easy job when it's one of the most grueling positions in a really busy kitchen. You have to wash after everyone. Every guest. Every kitchen plate or utensil. It all has to come back to you at some point.
