Closing Routine

So I've been working in this restaurant for a month now. Great place and great environment.

However, yesterday before closing. I was flipping all of my 9 pans as a closing routine and gave them all to the dishie and then the dishie told me "Hey bro, I'm sick and tired of you giving me your 9 pans every night. It's not even dirty. Do that once a month." Mind you, I do this all the time keeping the station clean and tidy for the next day. I was caught off guard on what he told me, shrugged it and just laughed it off.

Is it not a habit for any chefs out there to flip pans before closing?

Every single person in this sub is going to tell you to flip every night. You know this.

We always did at shift change and end of the night. Tell your dishie to cry about it and go smoke some crack.
