more like dipshit lmao

what is the worst food to clean ?

>>13748943
Anything that has cheese in it, that shit glues to plate and pretty much is a required 1 minute soaking in scalding hot water
>>13748940
That's what the chef calls me, also doofus

>>13748937
>work at university food hall as a student
>walk into conveyor dish room
>water is on cold
>other student is staring at his phone
>plates from 2 hours ago still sitting there
>refuse to work dish room again

Why are competent dishwashers that stay longer than 2 months so hard to find in south florida, everybody here is a lazy fuck meanwhile on working at the same place for nearly a year now and get paid 12 an hour

>>13748964

>>13749401
... you don’t tip the dishwasher?

>>13749401
I think the tips that waiters gets are split between the crew

>>13749401
Only if the plates are really clean and sparkly. Sometimes customers ask to see the person who cleaned their dish so they can give me a hug. It's the best part of working here

>>13749417
This is the answer I was hoping for.

>>13749401
in the form of food

>>13749403
what's SOMAT?

is this real?

>>13749417
bless your heart

Can anyone explain why they would want to wash dishes for a living?

>>13749502
they don't, they have simply accepted that they're the bottom of the barrel and that they might as well embrace it.

>>13749417
How nice, I wish my customers showed me love.

>>13749576
But there are so many other jobs that require zero skills, pay equally as poorly but are significantly more pleasant.

Do you use gloves? If I wash plates at home without them after 1-2 times my hands become dry and the skin cracks.

If it's slow, I'll jump in dish if we don't have a dedicated dish guy in yet. The shit I hate the most are ramikins. You gotta blast them individually, and every 4th or 5th one sprays it's cream back in your face.

>>13749590
Jobs such as what?

>>13749457
Basically a huge garbage disposal. Turns food into pulp. A water trench runs in front of the dish table. Waitrons dump the food into the trench, put dishes on table. Water carries the food to the munchery. Fucker always clogged. But there was a ton less garbage to take out.

Those rarely include free food and shall we say 'relaxed' immigration concerns.

Is it big enough to put something roughly the size of a pig carcass in? Just curious.

>>13749697
Most of my DMO guys were back up fry cooks. When the shit hit the fan, I'd send them to the fryers, the regular fry guys would float as needed, and I'd jump in dish and get the ramekin jizz all over me.

t. corporate resto GM. Living my best life.

>>13749766
No, lol. There was a screen that kept anything bigger than maybe a strip steak from going in. No bones, either.

>>13749720
>>13749746
Delivery driver. In fact, being a delivery driver is way better. Free (freshly made) food every shift, good amount of tips, only requirement is a drivers license, and you're not even in the building most of the time.

>>13749948
>only requirement is a drivers license
And insurance, and to get either usually requires closer to strict adherence to the fine immigration laws of our country. Plus, you have to buy and maintain a car. Not to mention that passable English is a plus.

Dish bitch it is, Juanito.

>>13748937
>>13749389
I hope that you're a teenager and that you're only doing this while going to school, because you're actually very underpaid even as a dishwasher. All thanks to the shared top system.
Also the "shared tip" system is a huge scam, I used to work for a restaurant as a busser and got paid the same amount (except it's $7.50 minimum wage where I live, so I got paid $5.50 + tip per hour) and if you do the math you're more often than not going to make slightly more than minum wage or break even, so if you worked a job that just paid you an extra $3 or $4 above what you're paid now you would consistently make more money per paycheck then being a dishpig or waiter. My second minimum wage job at a cattle feed store paid me an extra $1.50 over minimum wage (for a total of $9 per hour) and I got a bonus every month if we made our sales goal (which happened all the time, cattle feed is low overhead and high profit). I went from barely being able to fuel up my car to drive to college to having enough money every month to buy myself something nice with my sale bonus money.
You can make it Anon, dishpit and backroom restaurant jobs are always going to be shit because you are easily replaceable by the extremely poor, stupid, or illegal immigrants.
If you're one of those three then you're kinda fucked unfortunately.

>>13749972
Egg yolks to be precise, that or oatmeal/grits/porridge. Shit turns hard enough to regrout every tile in the pit. Also big shout out to every Pancho or Panchito in the dish pit. I hate your jibberish Mexican polka but damn if you dont do a great job.

>>13749417
>mfw i personally tip the chef for making my food and the dishwater for making sure my dishes are squeaky clean so i can eat off them
>i leave the waiter a bible leaflet disguised as a 20 because all they did was ask if i wanted a refill

Used to be a dishperson. Hated it. Smoked weed with my coworkers at the end of shifts listened to the radio on shift. Got paid weekly.

I hope I never have to do that ever again. You’re one step away from being a janitor. Fuck. That.

But if you’re desperate for money and have no marketable skills it’s a steady paycheck I guess

im literally the best dishwasher at my restaurant up in seattle, the owner really likes me and has defended me a shitload of times and got me out of trouble, lets me prep fuckin food and cook on the line every now and then, getting paid 14 an hour. fuck all dishwashers that think this work is below them. take pride in your job no matter what it is and show some effort.

>>13750580
>seattle
>getting paid $14/hr when the minimum wage is 15
Bro, it's no wonder the owner is defending you.

>>13750214

>>13748943
Where I worked we had smoked Gouda mac ‘n cheese that was scooped into ramekins, topped with more Gouda, and put under the salamander. There was a ring of seared on cheese on the top of every one and it was a bitch to scrub off.

Why would anyone want to do anything but fuck bitches for a living? It's a skill you have or the first place that hired you out of all the places you applied at for months.

>>13748943
pomegranates

>>13749590
Most zero skill positions these days require serving or trying to sell to retarded customers. Most dish jobs you get shit for going out in front where the customers can see you unless you work in a diner. Great gig for introverts.

Washing dishes take about as much skill as 90% of the construction trades. The better you get the less work you're doing. It becomes a really cushy gig. Once you're good you feel like you really only work during rush hour on the weekend or during holidays the place is open. The difference is their unions actually do something though while the culinary union seems to only give a damn about getting more people with gauges in their ears into management.

>>13748986
>Why are competent dishwashers so hard to find in south florida,
>get paid 12 an hour
what did he mean by this

Was a dishbitch for a bit over a year.
It was okay mostly, got along well with the chef and always got free food. One of the waitresses had the most perfect athletic perky ass and she always wore yoga pants, that was nice too. But it was a small cafe with a tiny washroom in constant view of customers through a window and door. It also got disgustingly hot and stuffy inside in summers, the one ventilation fan barely worked. And I had to squeeze past seated customers with a massive rubbish bag whenever it was busy and the kitchen bin needed emptying (had to go through the back seating area to get to the dumpsters). Fucking hated doing that.
Also I was only making $15 an hour (AUD) which I'm pretty sure is below minimum wage, idk never bothered checking the technicalities. I do bullshit casual work for a Uni now doing mostly nothing and get $33

>>13748943
Cheese. Always. Runners up include anything that gets baked into the inside of hotel pans and burnt soups/chilis/etc in pots. Spend at least an hour scraping carbonized marinara and Italian wedding soup out of the bottom of our pots every week.

>>13749502
Nobody wants to wash dishes for a living. If I'm stuck in this job much longer I'll kill myself. That said I like it better than a lot of other low wage jobs I've worked. Free shift meals, free soda, free ice cream, complete independence and control over my workflow and station, most of my coworkers are cool as fuck, and I can do basically whatever I want all night as long as I keep caught up and get my closing shit done on time. I spend half of every night browsing 4chan and playing vidya. The problems are that the work itself is dirty (and I'm a huge germophobe), the GM is an insufferable cunt, and even wearing gloves my hand still dry out extremely bad and hurt nonstop if I don't lotion every night.

>>13748937
>best stories
Dish pit is pretty uneventful. I've seen a lot of fun shit happen around the restaurant but not much involving me. I've only even really had it out with one person. A server (and fuck servers by the way) was bringing dishes back and just setting them wherever and I finally got fed up with it.
>That's not where that fucking goes. Not that hard to stack plates.
>"oh my GOD I am going to fix it, I'm just busy. If you would give me 5 seconds-"
>Want me to start counting?

This easily. It has been years since I was a dishwasher but I still never order that in restaurants because I feel sympathetic towards the dish guy

I have a very specific memory I need to share.

>working prep foods at Whole Foods
>my job was to make pizza but I sucked at it and sometimes they'd just toss me in the dishpit
>it was gross but I didn't care that much
>worked to exhaustion, I fell asleep almost as soon as I got home
>in my dreams I had a refillable water bottle (the kind with a filter)
>I was trying to drink from it but no water came out

In my mind's eye I still see the corn swirling.

Burned-on Coney Sauce.

If you asked me to come up with a substitute for concrete, coney sauce would be my choice.

Imagine spending a half-hour dumping degreaser and hydrochloric acid into a pot, and scrubbing until your skin begins sloughing off.

Fuck coney sauce.

>>13755027
When I worked as a busser the way the place was set up was exactly like that. I bussed tables. Stupid slav server thought she could give me two bucks when she made 60 in tips. Next shift she got sat half as many tables because she had to clean them all herself. She went to complain to the manager and I overheard him ask her "How much did you tip him?" and that was that.

Do you work in an office, sweetie?

>>13748943
when I worked in a grocery chain deli it was ALWAYS the mac n cheese 'soup' we would rotate in every other day in the 'soup bar'
no one would stir it so it would just bake on top of the heater for 12 hours straight and the bottom layer could not be cleaned after close ever it was so burned

>>13749972
This. Worked at a restaurant that served baked eggs and the yolk/cheese mixture stuck like glue.

>>13754059
I'm thinkin based

>>13748943
worked at an italian place, they would take pre cooked lasagna throw mozzarella all over it and microwave it or 4 minutes and then throw the plate into a bin below them, by the time I got to the burnt on peice of shit it was easily the hardest thing to clean in the kitchen.

egg yolks
french onion bowls
The hotel pans of marinara or hotel pans of the soups at the end of the day that have that 'ring' of burnt on shit.

>>13748943
I loved giving the dishboys my big sautee pan after caramelizing tourned apples in it. Have fun scraping away at that sugar!!!

>>13749720
Work construction or a trade. After 3 or 4 years experience you make like $30-40/hr and at least you can tell people you're an electrician instead of a dishwasher

>>13750418
Janitors usually make more than minimum wage

>>13750625
Have you turned to a life of crime on the side? I mean I would. Even if you get caught jail is better than that

the image in the op is so perfect, the only thing that bothers me is that the dishpit is in an entirely different room and there's no pile of dirty skillets

>>13755685
I'm almost certain you've never been to jail or suffered the repercussions of being incarcerated. Dish washing and kitchen work in general is ideal for ex criminals. I am speaking as a line cook and multiple offender

>She went to complain to the manager and I overheard him ask her "How much did you tip him?" and that was that.

This is the most American thing I've ever read on 4chan.

I usually work on the line but i've had a few dishpit jobs, they usually depend on the place but they are generally pretty nice, you just gotta get into a flow with a good tempo. Used to work with with a older black dude who used to tell me crazy stories about growing up in an African ghetto. Another time a white dude with massive dreads who always came into work high but crushed dishpiles quicker than two regular washers would.

>>13748940
I read dishpit as dipshit and wondered how people knew what that job was.

>>13749766
No, you can't murder someone and then use that to get rid of the body.

I worked at a cafe as a teenager doing mostly dishes, but also the cleaning at the end of the day. It was fun. I could zone out, blast Led Zeppelin and autisticallly scrub pans. I'd get part of the tips, and 50% off the food at the place. Of course, it was a tiny joint and everyone there was cool, so it was good while it lasted. I did a good job (not that it's fucking hard) and got along with the crew and the boss. Best work experience I had.
I wouldn't be able to afford my apartment and my tuition on the salary I had though. It was just to pay rent at home (when I wasn't in school) and make spending money. So it wasn't making a living, but it was a fun stint.

Not gonna lie being a dipshit was one of the comfiest shit jobs ever. I would get everything squeaky clean, cooks and chef would love me because of it, and id get a cut of the FOH tips. Just go in, do my job, help others, return to my job, get asked to stay extra because other workers are degenerates, rack up shit ton of hours, eat for free. I miss that job but I only recommend it if you are not in a good place in life, and only as a temporary position.

>>13759977
I do actually. I later went to college and for the entire time worked as a pizza delivery driver. Apply at a chain in a good neighborhood. I used to eat free pizza and stuff from orders that were cancelled or not picked up which is daily. If you work the nights they might ask you to close, and you have wash the pizza toping containers dishes etc. Take your time doing a good job closing and you can rack up overtime hours. Plus, I delivered in a ghetto ass neighborhood and on the weekends pulled in like 70-80 bucks on tips

>>13755620
>>13748943

I worked at Pizza hut and we had a fat retard who washed dishes who was super annoying. we would run a pan with a thin layer of sauce through the oven 5 times straight and it would keep him busy for hours

>>13748943
Cheese,large pasta

>>13754216
based fellow michiganger dishbitch

Whenever we would bake chicken you had to scrape the residue off with steel wool and gallons of degreaser and there were always at least a dozen pans a day. definitely the worst part besides the flimsy martini glasses they would put mac n cheese in and you cut your finger shattering them when you try and clean them out

>>13748937

I lied about my age since I was only15, said I was 16 yo and got a job at a texmex restaurant as a dishpit for my first job just by walking in and asking for work w/o any application. The manager knew I was underage but he didn't give a shit an hired me on the spot, It was hard work. Covered in grease at the end of the shift. They served metal plates for the enchiladas, burritos and chimichangas so they had to be stacked so they soaked to be able to remove the baked on cheese before running through the dishwasher. Slow times, the manager forced me to sort the rocks out of beans. Have to say I occasionally left some in. Tbf, he allowed you a meal everyday for free.

When I was a dishwasher there was one fucking prep cook who'd always burn pots. I just straight up refused to clean them after a while. I'd just leave them. He'd not clean them. Eventually we ran out of unburnt pots because they were all sitting in dish(took about a week). Then one day I came in for lunch and spent three hours learning prep while he painstakingly cleaned every single one. Based chef.

I have actually worked in an American restaurant and got tipped out at a standard rate(2% of gross sales split among all the bussers on that shift) but now that you say that, I can see how silly it sounds. It is funny to hear about America's tipping culture and also hear how even servers have to tip people working below them like a sort of internal"tipping economics" in the restaurant industry(which they kind of do). Upvoted and (You)'d.

Wouldn't it be fired for what somebody else didn't do?

>>13748940
I thought that's what the OP said, and assumed this thread would be about cooking fails.

>Not working FOH where you make more in tips and it's 10000x easier
Oh man, taking orders and bringing orders is sooooo hard

>>13772271
my previous boss made me work foh because I looked "pretty enough"
the tips were great though

>>13772301

I wasn't known for being a grimy beast at the time, but I was afterward.

Dishbitch bumping

Worked at some normball sports bar in Missoula mt back in 07. Was the dishpit dipshit. Was pretty rad. The cook was an older more depressive version of myself (that i turned into) and we'd play metal loud as fuck. It was white trash as hell but it made the day go by so quick. He'd play some buttrock/glamrock shit id play Thrash metal that he liked but "just didn't know about too much devil stuff man"

>never heard of steel sponges

why do dishwashers exist?
why not purchase the machine known as a "dishwasher", which has existed for probably >50 years and has been fine tuned to a T?

About a month after i quit cause my other job made me full time, he went to jail for a parole violation.
also worked with an art student and a culinary student who were pretty decent, but had their own issues.

>>13750708
We had this. It was gyuere and truffle mac. Which was terrible imo. But it was in small cast iron ramicans. About the width of the spacepussy. I fucking hated those things.

>Using steel scrubbies on plates

>>13768032
Seems like based to me

>>13772308
This. Fucking this. I'd be a server but its so boring. Even in the rush i felt like i was sitting on my hands every shift. My co workers other than back of house were fucking mindless and would freak out if anything bigger than a 5 top came in. Like what the fuck? Imagine how the guy cooking for the 5 top feels. Especially when you double ring in 2 tables without warning and put everyone on edge for no reason. By far the worst parts of BOH are the pay and the servers. The worst parts of FOH is FOH.

check you are getting the industry award rate, should be ~25 dollars per hour for memory, more on weekends or super late nights.
you are allowed to take a decent break if your shift is over a certain period long, otherwise if its just dinner rush or lunch rush then you'll be working non stop, however depending on the place if you want a few minutes for a smoke or want to go get a drink out front thats normally completely fine, just mirror what everyone else does.
specifically for kitchen hand though(im assuming you mean both dishpig and various prep/line work), dish work and general cleaning is the easier stuff in the sense that you can tune out and scrub while only using 10% of your brain power, so default to that if you are tired or bored with nothing to do. any chopping, prep work, or fryer work or whatever else you will be doing is a bit more involved in terms of needing precision and learning, so save your braincells for that.
