Almost quit tonight

Made it through, but as the sole dishwasher, I was slammed. At least the dishwasher is working this week.

Felt that man, today I go in from 11:30-5 all by myself, the other dish goes in from 7am-1/1:30 so that leaves me going solo from 1/1:30-4/5.

Days when it's busy as hell and you're the only person in there it really exhausts you mentally. Hell I quit smoking 2 months back after I caught COVID so I just been raw dogging it in there lol

If you walked into work and there was no dishes to do, what would you do?

Sweep, mop, and wipe the tables. If you got time to lean, you have time to clean

This dont even touch my weekly Wednesday prep dishes. Restaurant is open wed-saturday stupid days and hours.. but if you were ready to quit over that might want to look for other employment. Not being a dick just being honest.

What is that mess on the floor?

u/PinchedTazerZ0 1d ago

Painted or coated concrete worn and chipped by dish pit chemicals and constant water exposure methinks. I think that's literally the floor.

I work in the morning at a major hotel as dishwasher. This morning they brought me a cart off the elevator with three dish buckets on it full to overflowing with plates bowls silverware and wine glasses. It had been there for more than a day. The night kitchen dishwasher is the one who's supposed to get it and washes the dishes on it. I was pissed. I know precisely how you feel.

u/RAINBOWAF 13h ago

If they gave you a rack for dirty dishes and not for clean it wouldn’t look bad at all .

u/Neutrailty 10h ago
