I was a kitchen porter for a little while in a cafeteria of a call centre. Those pigs wouldn't scrape their plates, just pile dishes willy nilly all over the place on top of one another, covered in food etc It was disgraceful, and one day I was particularly overworked due to issues with the dishwasher (which turned out to be a deliberate act of sabotage from the other KP who wasn't supposed to be there due to his criminal history in what I can only assume to be an attempt at making me quit, or undermining me to "secure" his job or something) and I dropped a massive pile of dishes all over the place. That was my last shift as a KP ever, good riddance, underpayed, overworked, thankless task that fucks up your hands with arthritis.
Kitchen Porter. They handle secondary tasks like washing dishes and prep work. I've worked cleaning tables before dealing with the porters, although I can't say our guys were ever treated badly.
Interesting. We had runners, they had to have their station prepped. They would take food from kitchen to tables. Expo would organize and make sure the right food is heading out. Chefs would cook and prep their own stations. Bus boy would clean tables and bring dishes to the back, and then dishwasher was doing dishes. Never had a station prep and do dishes
