I wash dishes at a high-volume Mexican restaurant (interestingly enough with mostly white coworkers), though I am in the process of learning all the line positions.. Our dishwashers absolutely, without a doubt, have the shittiest job in our restaurant and make the least amount of money. That's why we hire everyone on as a dishwasher first so we dont waste time training people if they can't keep up. I used to like the job just because it was leagues better than the existence I lived prior, but now that I work mostly cooking shifts I have a much harder time motivating myself to wash dishes.

Back problems, carpal tunnel, glass contantly embeeded in the hands, jalapeno juice in the eyes, >100 F temperatures in the summer, constantly soaking wet, getting yelled at by both cooks and FOH employees.. Not much fun at all.


Also I want to disagree with whoever said most of us are drug addicts... But most of us are drug addicts. At least when the imaginary line between alcoholics and addicts is removed. I'm an ex-heroin addict first and foremost but I've battled cocaine, benzos, and booze as well. Almost everyone I work with drinks regularly, most of them it seems pretty heavily. Several people use cocaine and roughly 50% smokes the ganja.

EDIT: I will admit that I've seen some uninvited dicks and balls since joining the service industry... I'm not saying its like a regular thing but yeah it definitely happens. I'm pretty sure that movie is what inspired the idea in the first place though.

Shitty Dick Job [Re: Entheogenerator]
    #23696250 - 10/01/16 04:00 AM (7 years, 3 months ago)

I hate doing dishes so much I would probably suck dick for crack before I took on 8 hours of dirty dishes.


Well I meant suck dick for like bill money.....but you get the analogy.

Yea Dishwasher is the shittiest job in a restaurant imo and they get no tips, and shit on constantly.

If there is any bullshit task no one else wants to do, Clogged Toilet?, Gotta run to the freezer?  Go scrub the walls and floor?  who else to ask than the dishwasher, who is treated like the lowest on the food chain.



But let's see a dishwasher walk out on a friday night and see how valuable he/she all of the sudden becomes.




edit:    yes I used to wash dishes






My friend here is a bit schizo and suffers horrible anxieties ... he can't find even a kitchen hand job, nobody wants to hire him  :shake:

Why don't you just get a job as a cashier working at publix or something. Or stocking shelves.

I wonder this alot too.  Alot of people would hate my job, but I feel like it is perfect for me right now. 

For me I find work in the service industry degrading.  I'm not sure why, but it just makes me hate myself. 

I'd much rather take part in making something than serving people's needs.  Even if it isn't perfect it doesn't make me hate myself, other people, and life in general.

I have ton a fair amount of entry level jobs, and especially at first it has always appealed to me because it gives me a warm comfy "in the belly of the beast" feeling once you adjust to the rhythm and feel like you know what is going on.

I think of myself as an empathetic person, I like pretty much everyone I meet, but dealing with average American customers I always get a "who the fuck are these people?" feeling which isn't worth $10/hr to deal with for me, at least not any longer than 6 months straight.

Restaurant backline is like a finely tuned orchestra.
I spin and duck past someone with dishes stacked to their chin as the man behind me shouts "6 coming in!" There's sauce freshly spilled all over the floor, because somebody fumbled an enchilada - captain and coke does not a steady hand make. My boss yells my name and I look nervously over only to see him smiling with his middle finger held in the air, that's how our team of misfits shows affection.

The ladies of the night are a chosen few, more or less. They perk themselves up but play their game down; adorned in make-up donning shirts that show just enough of their back tattoo. Someone's getting a tip tonight. They know it too - only the girls who make the man at the table second guess his marriage make any money in this industry. The below-average looking waitress is forever butthurt, and her attitude makes her even less likely to please her dining clients.



I have many many friends and 2 ex girlfriends in food service/cleaning and it's fucking hard to do at most places really is ,therefore the nessicary synchronous ,for something as simple and complex is dishwashing at a restaurant. ( none of this is sarcastic, once an ex-girlfriend of mine broke her ankle" she was literally about to go back to work  The next day" So we worked it out with her boss that I'd quit school for a week and take over for her. Just to give a little healing.

I've done it.

People do all kinds of jobs and complain that it "sucks"

Some people look at a computer screen all day and complain it "sucks"

I've done it. For 2 days. Front of the house is where you can make 25-35 an hour depending on how good you are at talking pretty girls out of there money.

I washed dishes for this Korean joint. The first day I was transported to there other restaurant. No proper dishwashing equipment I had no clue where to even put things.

I just never showed back up. A fuck ton of dishes with a single washer. That's a load of garbage. As I'm also a prep cook as well. No. No no no. It took me 4 months to even get my w2 from them. No. Just no. I'm sure they're are plenty of Mexicans that can do this. I quit.

Fucking line out the door as they'd turn the restaurant. So wait I was supposed to be off hours ago why in the fuck am I doing this and not making you money? I've done a ton of shit for money washing dishes when I had to help people catch up but it was so fucked.

I know some white employers who only hire Mexicans.

It seems they have special skills.

They work hard and fast. But they also have homes in Mexico. So it is what it is really. God I hated that job. I quit in 2 days. No. Just no. I know my rights.

As do I. I knew a lady who wouldn't hire women. As there poor workers. I found that hilarious but in the same thought that is sexist as fuck.

I was not recording or anything. Women are shittier workers than men. In plain site. From a woman. That changed my thoughts and I quit the job after.

I find that Mexicans don't hate the jobs that whites hate.

I think there's a psychological reason, far beyond having a home in Mexico.

Yeah bro
I just realized towards the end of college that I wasn't a fan of stiff office work
Sitting around playing with code
It was fun in highschool when I was just hacking away at bots or macros and simple games
But industry programming is a whole different beast
And it's generally boring as fuck.

So I'm in search of physical labor work that will pay worth a damn. The degree doesn't hurt to have but I don't seek to work in a software oriented job.
Started with dishes because I was coming off heroin and wanted work fast and low stress/commitment

Now they've got me cooking sandwiches and salads pizza etc

I enjoy life these days knowing that I am doing what I want to do rather than strive for some bullshit notion of success or happiness.

Damn you did a complete 180 mouse. Best of luck. I work a pretty stiff office job but it beats the restaurant industry any day of the week IMO

Thanks. My life has changed a ton and I'm a very different person than I was even four years ago. My problem is I can't sit still these days
im in the zone in fast paced high stress environments

I plan on programming my entire life but I'm going to do side projects and hobbyist programming.
Even develop some apps/games and make ad revenue maybe.

Robotics and automation might be worth a look.  I know there is a demand for that stuff in many different fields and it combines computer hacking with the physical aspect of building something.
