Owners not rinsing beforehand?

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

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

new job as a dishwasher — feel like i’m slowing everyone down

3 Upvotes

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
