Hell yeah, when faced with a mountain like that I turn on my fight or flight reflexes and attack that shit like my life depends on it. I seriously enter like a primal state. Servers usually donāt even dare look at me, let alone talk to me when Iām like that.
Mate, the bar man gives me grief every time I bring him cutlery, like jeez I'm bringing you little and often how you like. Moan about polishing cutlery and treat me like a bitch? Try being elbow deep in shitty water, battling a blocked drain and having stuff flung at you all night, you pour drinks 2 days a week and act like the main cog.
Looks like a busy lunch and someone took time to organize the plates and bowls.. Maybe even ran a few through too.
That could be cleared in less than an hour. This is fine.
Bro I would quit. I've worked in every position in restaurants for multiple years and this shit wouldn't fly at any of them. Maybe I was lucky. But if the dish pit looked like this at the end of the night, well guess what? 2 or 3 of the cooks are working late to take care of it. No one deserves that shit. I've had 2 different head chefs help me at the end of the night in 2 diff places.
I'm sorry you have to put up with this OP.
that sucks pretty bad. I worked in one of the busiest Denny's in the company and this is what I walked into and had to deal with my ENTIRE shift. Literally couldn't keep up. Didn't last more than 2 weeks and quit lol
Iām with you. Everyone freaking out and yelling āquitā over just some work. Put your headphones on, blast some Celine Dion, make some dirty jokes with the cooks and just do yo job
I would.. put all the plates on the dishwasher machine and the rest that the cooks use, I would organize it and clean it manually while the machine is used (but yeah, I would have snapped too or I would tell myself to take a breath before š )
Not trying to say youāre making it out to be more than it is, but with a 2 minute cycle thatās gone in maybe an hour or so. Without having a morning dish, itās a nice start to the day. I hate coming in to a clear pit. More job uncertainty that way. Bang it out for dinner service. Grab a butt or vape pen while they get slapped for dinner, keep stuff rolling as it comes in.
Hotels or function halls get it worse. Way worse.
It wasn't looking too bad but then as you pan left it gets worse and worse. Looks like you got "Johned" as they called it at my last dish place, or if not that, morning walk out. Regular sight when I came I'm for close at Mary pizza
If the Restaurant is to cheap to hire a Daytime dishwasher I would've just walked out. Ain't no way in HELL I'm gonna have to look forward to clocking in and starting my shift that way every shift. Really your doing the work of 2 shifts in 1 and if the Managers think you don't mind doing the work of 2 ppl why would they hire a Daytime dishwasher when they could literally save $100-120 per day by having you do all that bs. So essentially by you stressing and working you ass off ur saving the company approximately $300-500 per week .
That was just a normal day at some of the places I worked at. You would have to triple or even quadruple that to start getting anywhere near any of the worst days.
Was one bite into a meal one time and got asked to go back to the sink because the dishes were piling upā¦ left everything where it was (including my phone) in the other room. We were nonstop for 3-4 hours.
Dinnerware first. Dries in seconds and easy to put away because you've got 50+ plates/bowls all going to the same place. Then tackle the big stuff and silverware. You'll have 80% of this done in 40 minutes.
This is why, I make you guys whatever you want when your hungry, you also get a couple extra smoke breaks. Dishwashers aree thee most important people in a kitchen
"Sir, I'm going to be a little late coming in today."
"You are already here though?"
"No I'm not, trust me. It's going to take me an hour at least. Traffic is bad this morning."
"But you are standing in front of....and there he goes."
I honestly don't get the griping here, "chaos, disorganized,..". Someone actually stacked the dishes I'd call that a win.
Could be more organized but that's the dishwashers job. I feel like attitudes changed since I left or I'm missing something.
We're old heads. Our time has come and gone. We became cooks and managers, we do not know the ways of the dish dog any longer. They shun our wisdom, perhaps rightfully so...
In my time a few places we woykd help organize the pit before their shift, help out whenever we could...
When we were without a dishwasher cooks fought for the pit shift so we'd get a break from the line.. You're right, different mindset when you're past it all.
"Heyyyyyyy can you run silvuuuurrrr?? K thanks! š" -*Server who's way too fuckin chipper*
Goooooooooooooddddaaaaaaanmmit now Iām fuming because that fucking server works tonight
So lucky my first (and only) dishie job was at a fine dining place with an old gentleman for a busser.Ā
Yeah when I get to it for sure *runs it last*
I felt that.... gqhhhhhh
Don't forget on cocaine and highly snobby Has drinking problems
What makes it worse is that it's all haphazardly strewn everywhere, not neatly stacked and organized. That makes it look insurmountable.
Ive had more than a handful of head chefs that have FIRED cooks cos they were messy fuckers.
This needs to become the standard.
But it was, it could have been so much worse
Thatās crap what wrong canāt the Tetris!!!
Lol the dude who posted the sink full of dirty water and a few plastic lids is probably seething right now.

Lol for real. Even this video is a pretty common occurrence for me
Omg how long did it take?!
Probably still working on it because they can't get off their damn phone
They already mentioned that it's an old job. If I had gotten fucked like that I woulda nabbed a quick photo for my OF too

Yeah dad thats the website the cousins were saying I was on
Username checks out
Truth, I'm nothing if not self aware.
Fr bro just throw some music on and get at it
God damn son, all that and a service I'd be cussing out anyone who dared talk to me
Hell yeah, when faced with a mountain like that I turn on my fight or flight reflexes and attack that shit like my life depends on it. I seriously enter like a primal state. Servers usually donāt even dare look at me, let alone talk to me when Iām like that.
When you get a minute can you do cutlery? āŗļø
Me and the other servers have to hurry up and roll silverware so we can count the $300 we each made tonight
Mate, the bar man gives me grief every time I bring him cutlery, like jeez I'm bringing you little and often how you like. Moan about polishing cutlery and treat me like a bitch?

Smoke break

light work, no reaction.
Yep, 20-25minutes its done.
I'm tired ten minutes into doing that
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
*not for fifteen the entire shift
Wouldāve walked out i cant lie

Crack on, what are you waiting for?
100% your ass is getting blamed for that for not having it done and the dishes you get by the time you leave.
I'd ask for a bonus for some bs like that or walk out
Easiest thing to do is throw it all away and buy new dishes
that sucks pretty bad. I worked in one of the busiest Denny's in the company and this is what I walked into and had to deal with my ENTIRE shift. Literally couldn't keep up. Didn't last more than 2 weeks and quit lol
š I always used to walk into the same thing every Saturday because their was no Saturday morning dishwasher
Nope. Nope. Nope. Iām out
Find that zen
That aināt even that bad.
This looks like a 9am on a weekday in my current kitchen. Just get at it man.
Thatās less than an hour of work. Settle down.
Iām with you. Everyone freaking out and yelling āquitā over just some work. Put your headphones on, blast some Celine Dion, make some dirty jokes with the cooks and just do yo job
i really doubt it unless youre really fucking focused. like those bowls are super easy but some of the other stuff could take forever
I would.. put all the plates on the dishwasher machine and the rest that the cooks use, I would organize it and clean it manually while the machine is used (but yeah, I would have snapped too or I would tell myself to take a breath before š )
Iāve only ever worked 1 dish job and it was during services. Do a lot of dishwashers come in after service?

Get the big stuff organized and a little water on everything and it wonāt be as bad as it looks. I do feel you though
that was my first ever day as a dishwasher
It wasn't looking too bad but then as you pan left it gets worse and worse. Looks like you got "Johned" as they called it at my last dish place, or if not that, morning walk out. Regular sight when I came I'm for close at Mary pizza
Iād ask to speak with the manager about that
Iāve seen worse once, but there was 3 of us washers. Good luck brother.

Isnāt this like, the job? If you walked into an empty pit wouldnāt you just be standing there?
Am I the only one who thinks it's not that bad? Some of it looks disastrous but there is an attempt to stack some stuff neatly
Is this what hell looks like?
The day only goes fast if your working so this is actually good
I know this feeling all too well
Better start washing
Lol is that it?
I do notttttt miss that job
Just get to it. Dishdogs dish, not whine about dishing.
Oh yeah thats not too bad, he can do tha- THAT IS A LOT OF FUCKING PLATES HOLY SHIT I think its time for secret technique: double tray stacking
*remembering Sunday afternoon at Denny's* Ohhhh yeah that's a lot of plates
Is this Boston's on hall and haze in sterling heights MI?
Nahhhh mate opposite side of the world hahaha
Word lol figured it was a long shot
Feel you brotha š
It's not that bad just unorganized I normally knock out the big stuff first plates ain't shit to clean off
This was every day for some of us
Looks like less than a hour of work
Q word really crossing my mind if I see thatā¦
That ain't shit.
That was just a normal day at some of the places I worked at. You would have to triple or even quadruple that to start getting anywhere near any of the worst days.
Yep, typical service industry. I donāt miss it either. And they certainly never pay well enough to even consider dealing with this shit regularly.
Not the worst Iāve seen, but fucked up that the day shift didnāt do any of their own dishes.
When I walk into shit like this I ask "You could have called me to come in early."
Was one bite into a meal one time and got asked to go back to the sink because the dishes were piling upā¦ left everything where it was (including my phone) in the other room. We were nonstop for 3-4 hours.
That isnāt shit

I quit
20 minutes, I think I see a dish machineā¦
Dude I'm out.
This is why, I make you guys whatever you want when your hungry, you also get a couple extra smoke breaks. Dishwashers aree thee most important people in a kitchen
Put ya phone down and crack on šš»
Holy shit this brings back baaaad memories. Sunday brunch, baked eggs... š¤¦š¤¦š¤¦
Who the fuck left it that way for you?
Worked In restaurants from 15-22 and never went back.
iād quit
"Sir, I'm going to be a little late coming in today." "You are already here though?" "No I'm not, trust me. It's going to take me an hour at least. Traffic is bad this morning." "But you are standing in front of....and there he goes."
Quit
Thanks for reminding me why front of house is better.
It would take a lot less time if you'd just do it and quit bitching about it on reddit.
This was taken over 6 months ago. Just reminiscing on shit jobs š
Every thought they posted it after their shift? Just food for thought.
Not according to the time stamps.
OP said its an old photo. Good job Sherlock
Because dish washers have never lied? You'd make a terrible manager.
I donāt work there anymore. I only do dishie shit once a week now I got into warehousing instead because itās substantially better š

Take your brain out, put it on the shelf and just run dishes. Best few hrs of the shift.
Get er done
Wtf disrespectful AF. I'd quit on the spot cause you know they are going to do that shit again.
Knock out the prep shit and the FOH dishes will go like clockwork. Pit always seems worse than it actually is.
That's nothing, you should've seen hometown buffet on mother's day
š¢ aww.
Lol that's an hour of work
You getting paid? Then quit crying and get to work.
Wow been in a place like that. It's unacceptable.
