Honestly, dishwashing is pretty cozy, you don't really have to do much unless you don't have one of those fancy-ass dishwashing machines. You just stand around, wait for dishes to come in, scrape them (fastest if you just use your hand), hose them down and stick them in the machine. Depending on how high volume the restaurant is, you'll probably end up just standing around fiddling with your phone a lot.

unironically this.
servers will act like you're human trash but really, if you prove yourself you'll be hands down the most respected guy in the kitchen.
work hard
put good tunes on
wear good quality boots that wont slip on a wet floor
work your station, keep it clean and the dishes perfect every time and the kitchen will love you.

but keep in mind you're probably the most replacable person in the kitchen, so make yourself invaluable to them.

If my new job i just got wasnt 8 dollars more id definitely go back. I was a dish in grocery store most recently it was alot of large sheet pans and commercial baking stuff it was pretty easy most shit just needed to be sprayed down. Always constantly busy but no one really expected anything of you just go into work and wash dishes. Lot of food to snack on all day. Id usually start drinking a couple hours in prob be 10 deep by the time we finished surprised they never fired me i ended up having to quit. Dishpit in restaurants have a more fun atomsphere hotter young waitresses and druggie line cooks. Grocery stores always have a ton of old women that arent good at their job.

I dunno. I took an $8/hour dishwashing job to pay off some car work. I had a day job the whole time and took the dishwasher gig because the restaurant was just down the street from my apartment.

They (the chef and cooks) were surprised that I had little to no interest or affinity for learning how to cook. The place was definitely like >>16219810 says. They had me doing prep of all sorts and seemed to be almost insulted that I clearly said I had no interest in "moving up" in the kitchen.

I paid off the car work and stopped showing up.

Similar story. One of my good friends was a bartender at the same spot so it was a good amount of free beers each night which made the literal minimum wage page worth it. Other than that it was pretty chill with the servers who were all cute and still nice and the cooks who just didn't give a shit and treated me just fine. Sad that the owners decided to just move the restaurant to a cheaper location about an hour away from where we were but it was fun while it lasted.
