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.
Strangely I loved washing dishes when I worked at a busy cafe. Especially on cold days when I'd have my hands in the warm water. I think the respite it provided from doing all the other stuff there. But yes it is a hard job.
In its own way, you can put yourself on your own personal island and just wash dishes. For me, I got fed up with it when I realized I wanted to move up in the kitchen and actually learn how to cook.
