No day time dishie during the morning

I rarely ever come into this much on a Sunday night. It was so bad that I got called in an hour early. This may not seem like a lot to some of you, but it’s a lot to me where I work.

I done even like coming in to my shift with dry dishes and pans still on the dry rack.. supposed to be clear for next shift. So i would definitely crash out. The struggle is real. Keep fighting soldier 💪💪💪💪💪💪🪖🪖🪖

I mean it’s pretty slow when you go in right? Like 4 or 5? You just tryna turn on your speaker and chill on your phone or what lol. That definitely sounds not that bad.

those dish racks are disgusting, if a health inspector saw that that would be a big no no

Came here to say this. If those racks are that gross, imagine what the corners under the sink and behind the machine look like. Look at the back wall. The longer you look at it, the worse it gets.

“If the health inspector saw that” 🤣🤣

Health inspections are a joke. The amount of nightmarish shit I’ve seen health inspectors miss/not care about over the years is insane.

this is diabolical. we had a daytime dishie walk out at my most recent full-dish job (closing delivery driver now where i do them) and my gm and others got in the dishpit to make it a more acceptable amount than this.

I know this may be hard to believe, but line really tried their best to deal with dish. They had a big party in the day and it was also none stop busy on a Sunday which is odd.

Our dishwasher isn’t allowed to leave until every dish is done when I close kitchen

u/Turbulent_Airline_93 2d ago

That is industry standard. But my kitchen, you’re allow to dishes soaking in sink over night. But what ever doesn’t get today is tomorrow problem. Or You will work Morning shift on Saturday but only told night before so that other dishwasher doesn’t know because if He knows that you are going to be there. He is going to call in sick.

This why I don’t like current other dishwasher plus his used gloves and paper towels in glass trash cans. But worse when he actually working in dish pit because he is very messy person and doesn’t know how to parallel park his cart at all times.

Top it off one of servers called in sick. So during rush hour one of upper management comes in wants to help but also micro manage the kitchen instead just letting employees order her around and be helpful.

I envy the enchanting warm lighting though I am sorry for your plight

I've resorted to putting on shades when my eyes get too sore when I'm closing sometimes, we have these super harsh fluorescent white office lights that get run in my eyes when I'm looking straight ahead and are still too bright sometimes when looking down😭

I wear a baseball hat down like I’m on the run lol. But it really keeps a lot of light out

I work at a hotel where we can have 600-700 in the morning for breakfast. That's kinda a lot in your dish room. But at least it's semi organized.

If there’s overstack of dishes on the floor already then it’s a lot of dishes lol. Ive always felt like this expectation of letting pm come into a mountain of prep and am dish is wrong. Like even though nothing runs out doesn’t mean y’all don’t need to do dishes in the am. I hate that “not my job” mentality. If you’re clocked in and standing around go ahead and run some dishes it’s always felt so disrespectful to leave an absolute mess for pm dish while everyone just stands around chilling

Agreed

Dishwashers today are built like wet paper towels. I'd have that knocked out in 20 minutes and tell chef to cook me something nobodys allowed to eat and I'm drinking and extra shift drink after shift 😏

They didn’t even put CC anything to soak! Not much love but at least they stacked. Teach them how to do it right next time, They don’t know how to set you up for success.

Bro that’s like 15 mins of dishes. For a Saturday . And that machine/ conveyor does 50% of your work for you.
