You do things at your own pace

Bit bloody obvious he's recording it on a quiet day. He wouldn't have a chance to record it if they were manic 🙄🤦‍♀️ he's also making sure to stand in a certain way so he doesn't obstruct the camera. It's just an informative video lmao no need to be so pedantic 😅

I agree with you. It's so small where I work. I have a tiny ledge at the back of me to place things on and have big shelves to right of it that the chefs put big trays on. So I've no room at all to stack clean stuff on. The sink area for the bin hole is so small I've no where to put dirty plates as the chefs are constantly coming with pans, trays frying pans etc.... that the food hole gets covered over and the chefs tell me off for covering it up! The cheek. I like it but its hard flaming work.

@samanthamarsland7598 Oh I feel ya. I've only been doing it for 6 months, and since then I've actually started developing a few systems which help. I don't know if you (like me) get plastic sink basins full of plates brought from the floor staff as well as items from the kitchen. But my method goes like this: When the shift starts there is already lots waiting for me, which clogs the processing line. So I first assess which items I can quickly get in the dish washing machine and/or any items I can wash by hand quickly and put in their proper storage area. Getting these out the way gives me more space. Then, I start organising it all in a way which keeps all items of the same type stacked together to save space. Then I fill the sink with hot water and soap, and load it with as much as I can without causing and obstruction, making sure to prioritise anything which could really do with soaking for a while. I will let them soak while washing the rest. The same process when a box of plates and stuff is delivered from the floor. Immediately I transfer the plates (while removing food) one at a time and stackign at the beginning of the processing line (or put in sink which is full of water), this helps when it comes to loading the dishwasher and or organising once they're clean. It's easier on the mind and more time efficient to deal with all plates of the same type rather than always processing a mix from wash to dry to to storage. When I get a dishwasher tray out ready, it's usually just a case at this point of running a sponge around the plate once or twice and stacking in the dishwasher tray, and then putting in the dishwasher. I'd recommend a brush tool or something like that to take the strain of your hand. Also, you can flip a dishwashing tray upside down to create a higher table like surface over the sink to put plates on when washing by hand before loading into the dishwasher, this is better for your back. With cuttlery, they're usually brought to me in a plastic pot/tub, a 4 litre tuppleware container to be precise. I'll fill this immediately with hot water while I work on other things to let them soak. I'll prepare a didhwashing tray, which I don't have a cuttlery segment/holder for, so I bring the container as close to it as possible, often I just put the container in the tray while I remove cuttlery one piece at a time, sponge off any immediate grime and place in the dishwashing tray keeping say forks to one side face in the same direction, knives to the other side, and spoons in another seperate area, so that when it comes out the machine I can pick them all up in one go pretty much. That's only if they're really grimy. If they've just been used by customers and not much food on them (or very busy) I just throw it in the dishwasher one time and that usually does it. If not the first time I'll run it again. I'm also focused on what time setting I'm using. If I think it needs it, I'll put it on a 5 minute setting (which always does it) and focus on washing other stuff by hand. With some deep pans with burned rice at the bottom or something analogous to this, you can often use a spoon to scrape the bottom curved edges first before using a scourer or brush, as it conforms well to these curved edges and is strong enough for you to really dig it out. We also have a polyfiller spatula at hand to help dig this stuff up. But honestly, I never go at stuff like this without filling them with hot soapy water first and letting them soak for a while. Sometimes I'll put something like this in the dishwasher immediately, facing upwards to gather hot water rather than filling it myself. Then I'll take it out and let it soak for a while before taking a spoon, spatula and scourer to it. Often this might mean that the dishwasher needs to fill again before it will run a wash, so be mindful of that. If you have any questions, always happy to help a fellow porter.

The dishwasher is broken where i work so i have to do it all by hand and people underestimate the amount of dishes literally like hundreds

​@@samanthamarsland7598me frrr like i have nowhere to put any clean plates or anything and there is these giant trays and pans and cutlery and there gets so many pots that stack up i have to stop dry half by the time they are dry there are way more pots 😂

Thanks

I do 14 hours shifts running 10+ kg trays of food up and down flights of stairs all day whilst keeping on top of dishes for 70 covers through the day. it is brutal overworking. Not to mention like you said, everything in between, doing everything kitchen will ask you for. LETS GOOO

​@@2552legoboy100% facts... you barely have time to go to the toilet during a busy shift lol it's crazy.

I didn’t take break for my trial because I wanted to crack on and the chef sayed I need to crack on faster and I was wearing yellow gloves and my hand looks dry like grandpas hands😂

thats part of the job lmao that happens to me

hello guys i have a question will i get fired if i keep finishing 30 minutes late? i do my absolute best but the things that come to me is alot and very exhausting 😭😭😞😞😭 i dont want to get fired

@@jacobdavidson9752 if your manager is chill he will probably be patient enough to wait for u to get good, I wouldn't worry about it

This job only pays 40000 pesos in Argentina (about 180euros). I wish I worked as a kp in UK or Ireland...

Same being doing it for 6 months this my 1st experience

@@quietgamer2146 just enjoy it, its kinda fun

Yes definitely I do the job myself it's a lot of work. I think most menial minimum wage jobs nowadays you will be overworked my options are slimmer though so I'm not sure what other jobs are ideal for lower skilled individuals.
