I used to wash dishes at a tavern

Fucking awful, seeing the cooks work back there and the general conditions make me so fucking paranoid about so many bars and just casual restaurants in general

Washing the pots and little sauce trays at the end of the night were always a bitch.

Any plate that had cheese stuck to it was always awful to wash too

My dad told me some stories of his time as a dishwasher. In highschool he went to Vegas over the summer and worked at a casino as a dishwasher. His friend got to use the machine dishwasher and my dad had to wash the dishes that couldn't go in the dishwasher by hand. Eventually his friend quit, and my dad thought he would get promoted to the machine. But apparently he did such a good job washing them by hand they hired a new person to do the machine. My dad quit the next day. Have fun washing dishes friends.

i'm a steward in a conference hotel with two fine dining venues and a 300+ person banquet hall.
i am the only person on my team that listens to the chefs beyond the bare minimum, gives a fuck about rules, food safety, cares for the property, etc. i'm also the only one that gets shit from the bosses when people are fucking off or something didn't get done, like it's my responsibility to babysit these fucking people.

only the dead can know peace from the chinois used to strain the liquid from the beet farro risotto.

no where. if anyone in memphis needs one I'm there though.

hey
here.
are you me? Other dish washers and some line cooks make me cry for hygiene.

i'm 25. i had 3 dish washing jobs in my teens at 16, 17, and 18. quit all of them after the first shift. dunno why i kept going after those jobs... maybe i thought i could hack it. but yeah props to you guys who can do it. shit is tough as fuck.

i'm a 4th year apprentice plumber now.

To all the dishwashers out there who kept at it. Thank you, you're the backbone of this industry, there's a reason good kitchens will feed the dishwashers well, because it's hell, and we're thankful.

>Apparently David Chang only shakes the hands of the dishwashers when he visits a Momo in his empire. kek

Used to wash dishes at a Chink-Murkan place and the deli next door.

Now I scoop poop out of butts. I prefer washing dishes.

Used to do dishes at a shot bar when I was a kid, everyone was either drunk or hungover at work, everyone was a chain smoker including me. It's where I learned that this industry is horrible, I basically had to do everything I was asked to from the chef and the bartenders. On my first day I had to strain some spaghetti and I fucked up because the pot was hot as shit and basically dumped the whole fucking thing in a not so clean sink, the chef just laughed and said - Fuck it, just rinse it off and throw it back in the pot, from that day I don't eat at bars anymore. Also from 1 AM to 2 AM it was happy hour and all the shots went for half price every single night, I had to rinse out every glass, put it in the washer, take them out as fast as possible (you guys know how fucking hot the dishes are when they come out of thoae huge washers) and then toss them in the freezer, I did that shit every night and it was fucking terrible, I developed a hatred for everything related to shots, I swore to myself I would never touch shot glasses again and I still don't. Seriously though, it was a terrible job with shit pay but at least I had money and learned to not be a pussy.

One time my chef forgot a pan with eagle brand in it on a burner.
Took me about an hour to clean up and I probably shortened my lifespan quite a bit because of all the chemical products I mixed as an attempt to make the scrubbing easier.

Fucking pussy.

Oh fuck yeah those are the worst, especially when food gets stuck at the bottom where your hand barely fits

Line cook/lifer here.

Just stopped by to say I WILL NOT work in a restaurant where the dishwashers are treated like shit. You can beat the servers all day, but if I catch someone treating the dishwasher like that, I will put them through the nearest wall.

Thanks for doing what you do.

Worked food for 3 years, 2 as night supervisor.
good dishwashers are amazing assets, we were pretty anal about getting the dishes cleaned and when I had a dish washer who could do that and fast, that person got leftover daily special and other little things I could do to thank them.

Not to discredit him but that dishwashing station is luxurious.

Working as a dietary aide/catering, picked up the dish shift because fuck the feast or starve situation.

Forget cheese, try meatloaf and steamed egg with scrapers. Shit is horrible and requires a lot of effort to make sure the last caked on stain is removed.

I don't mind, it is working with one abrasive worker that makes me extremely stressed out.

I used to wash dishes at Bob Evans when I was 18. Went home every night damp as fuck smelling like a dirty dish rag, worst job I ever had.
One day I was busing tables on a busy day and the social anxiety hit hard. I walked out and applied to a grocery store, which was much more tolerable.

>prerinsed plates
>plastic plates
try that shit with unrinsed ceramic plates and you'll get dirty, broken dishes. besides you can only push things through the machine so fast before you're cutting cycles short and that means if the health department catches you your place of work gets dinged and your boss will chew your ass

dud, just add some sanitizer/bleach water or even just plain hot water to the 2 mark, run that shit for a bit, then rinse and send through the machine

oh shit I remember mixing chemicals to get shit clean. in the long ago and far away I made a concoction with bleach, degreaser, brasso, and that silverware presoak stuff. when you shook it it would warm up on its own. and of course there's also the ever popular rookie mistake of making chlorine gas by mixing bleach and glass cleaner in the mop bucket

Started as a dishwasher 5 years ago, just accepted a new job as sous chef at a new country club. 67k a year salary I made it lads!

Dish-washing is a thankless job and its hard but it was me and this other guy kamar, we worked together for an entire year and it was great because me and him got along so well and understood each other we would rule the kitchen. Working with one shitty person can really make dishwashing a million times harder. Miss that guy.


Thank you all current dishwashers, love you guys.

dishwasher at wendys here. hopefully I can work my way up to a full fledged chef. I see a future for myself at this restaurant.

FUCK YEAH BRO FUCK THAT GUY, DUDES LIKE ME AND YOU ARE THE REAL BACK OF HOUSE HEROES. CERAMIC 4 LYFE

i washed dishes for a week at my school

they wouldn't even let me listen to podcasts or anything. it was fucking horseshit and i didn't realize it was meant to be some sort of rite of passage job

ok there chief, settle down, I was simply stating that you can't do that shit with breakables, what's got your jimmies rustled?

I wash at a vegan/vegetarian cafe. Rounding out my first year and they just started teaching me prep. Peeling carrots and budayduhs, chopping onions whenever it's slow enough for me to walk away from the machine. Eh, the job itself sucks balls, but I work for good people in a good place and I might be picking up some skills. Good luck to my fellow dish dogs out there, though. It gets you by, but don't forget to go bigger with your lives. Don't get comfy on the low rung. I work with a guy who has been doing this for 30 years, now THAT'S terrifying.

>30 years at the bottom
He's an immigrant, right?
