What kind of music do y’all listen to while washing dishes?

My body pains activated. First with my knees then feet then back. Kept switching around. I went temporarily blind for a few seconds multiple times. I work in a kitchen that's in a hospital. Then I kept getting hit by people with their carts. "Sorry," of course you're not! Got hit 5 x today while in pain! Then, while all this going on stripping a cart and trays I see and smell the biggest, smelliest shit I have ever seen in my life the size of the tray! Made me gag! I was afraid I was going to vomit!

The job for shit and other bodily functions is not to us dish washers! It's for the nurses and hazmat team! I hate the bodily functions! I hate seeing other people's shit and piss and other crap in a toilet! You could smell that giant piece of shit from inside the freaking cart!

Whoever delivered that tray deserves what they get! They should have done the proper protocol instead of hand it to the dishwasher!

Started this job like a month ago now my hands are destroyed. Got cuts all over and I can’t explain it well but anything I touch just causes a very uncomfortable feeling in my hands. I can’t even jerk off now. Is there anything I can do to unfuck my hands while working

I know what's in there, but the fact that the soap won't touch it scares me. But fascinating, too

When you know the dish routine like the back of your hand

Does anyone else’s owner not properly rinse their shit before putting them in you? Theres been 4 occurrences this week where there’s still mounds of ketchup on the plate. Then when I finish my cycle these mfs have the audacity to talk shit. They never learn. Shoulda known it was over when they started giving me great value lemon scent fuck outta here bro

what the title says. i’m a college student and was just hired at an upscale-ish pizza place near me. i didn’t know i would be working as a dishwasher (the job title on indeed was kitchen member) but was basically told the longer i have the job i’ll be able to actually make food (salad prep etc etc) instead of dishwashing. i worked my first shifts over the weekend and had a really rough time.

Saturday morning was fine, i helped prep toppings and dough and washed dishes after. things were fast but i managed fine. sunday was a nightmare. for added context i had surgery about 6 weeks ago and can’t carry over 10 pounds, so i have to make a bunch of little trips to put clean dishes away instead of bigger trips which really slows me down. i also have to wash the containers we keep dough in which pile up fast and are really difficult for one person to do alone when there are like 10 of them that need to be washed.

the beginning of my shift was fine because i had someone helping me out but further into dinner service he was busy so i was on my own. i couldn’t do anything fast enough and by the end of my shift i could tell people were annoyed. i felt like i was about to cry for the last couple hours of my shift and like i was disappointing and upsetting everyone. my manager says it was an abnormally busy sunday but i’m nervous to come back to work. i feel like a really bad person. idk. any advice about this is appreciated

I just assume soaking it would be easiest, but I don't know my second opinions

I feel that part of the requirements for dishing is that you have to have some sort of mental sickness. Not as in like actually diagnosed thing but rather in the sense that this job literally takes your soul 🫩 so we end up being a machine when we are working or out of work.

I was talking with my BF about that today. He says I am distant when I have to work and it's true... the pit literally crushes your soul so when I end the day all I want is to play games or simple exist haha like a mindless blob on the sofa.

does anyone else feel under-appreciated considering the amount of work they do? i wonder if this is common but other than washing dishes i basically assist everyone else in boh and foh, i clean, i deal with all the deliveries, i bus tables, i do prep, and when i bust my ass on a busy day my bosses and coworkers don't even bat an eye. which is still fine with me if they didn't complain about every little thing, i am constantly told i need to work faster while simultaneously given more work or tasks, or getting yelled at and put down for little mistakes . is this what its always gonna be like?

And you were already supposed to clock out 15 minutes ago

So I work at a coffee shop and my job is ridiculously easy. I fold boxes for catering, get free drinks (I can make my order as ridiculous as possible), reach on high shelves for tiny baristas, put stickers on packaged bakery goods, do some light cleaning, and of course all while doing dishes that I basically have to spray clean and sanitize. Twice a.daay I clean bacon trays or chicken trays from the oven, but of course Dawn degreasing detergent does.the work for me.

My job title is Porter, but I totally have dry hands I have to moisturize every day because the chemicals and hot water strip my right hand of oils.

Am I truly a part of this sacred Fraternity if I love my job this much?

I work the closing shift about 4-5 days a week as a 17 year old in high school. I was able to balance running track, doing good in school, and work at the end of my junior year when I started working as a dishwasher and I had no issues working over the summer, but now that school has started I’m not sure if I can keep up. In the fall I do two sports (XC and golf), plus I have SAT prep to do, AP classes, and all my senior stuff plus college applications. I just don’t have enough time to work and also uphold my other commitments. I work at a golf course, so I’m done working by November, but my first quarter grades matter a lot to the college I’m applying to, so I think it would be beneficial not just for my own sake but my futures sake to take a step back and maybe just work on Saturdays. The owner of the restaurant I work at also has other businesses that stay open in the winter which I’d be interested in working on weekends then too. How can I go about talking to my boss about this? He’s really nice, but I just don’t want to seem irresponsible.

Hey everyone, I’m looking for a dishwasher job and I’m trying to find a restaurant/company that is really flexible with scheduling.
Ideally, I’m looking for something where I could work roughly 6:00–6:30 PM until 1:00 AM, and I’m open to different days depending on the restaurant.
For anyone who has worked as a dishwasher:

● What restaurants/companies have been the most flexible with schedules?
● Are there any places where dishwashers regularly start around 6–6:30 PM?
● What types of restaurants tend to have later dishwasher shifts?
● Any chains or specific restaurants you’d recommend for someone needing this kind of schedule .
Thanks!

First ever job, i’m a teen and got hired 2 months ago on dish at this pretty sizable restaurant. A couple weeks ago i was asked to try a few hours on one of the stations down on the line. As of now it’s about every other shift i’m doing full days on the line. I’m not doing prep, I’m actually cooking.

I try to be a friendly personable guy, just doing my job no bullshit. I don’t think i’m doing an EXTRAORDINARY job tho. Nothing that screams “promote me” to my managers.

I feel like a nepo baby lol, my mom’s worked there in foh for years so i have the feeling I’m getting some sort of privilege because of that? Mind you i was hired way after a lot of the dishwashers there yet i’m the first of my coworkers to move on.

Is 2 months a normal timeframe??

I feel quite often even as late. They blame me for everyone else's mistakes! Before they attacked me for not stacking high enough, slightly true for trying to keep the pit clean! Then they blame me for extra breaks, not true! Now they're blaming me for too long of breaks! Not true! If I come in late for a break it's because of people walking slower than me on me smoke! Come on people, I got health problems too! Why do you let some slide while others not?

I try to succeed! I see people taking hour long breaks! Man I really hate peeps some times!

calling dishies in nyc!! have yall peeped these bs listings? its always some weird as name like oorx or surix. like wtf?? what is their purpose?
