I’m 15 and a dishwasher, sometimes when I go home I will randomly be chilling and get the smell of the soap and bleach and crap and get a mini PTSD of the cleaning room 😂
Same lol
^^^^
I want to be a dishwasher too. How many hours do you work and how much do you get paid if I may ask?
I've been a dishwasher for a year now at my local restaurant. I make minimum wage and only work on weekends, since I'm still in school so I only make about 90 dollars per week.
I feel you!!!!!!!! 😆
I've been in the shit for about 3 months, I'm getting used to it. Just hold on a little longer and try a little harder. Greetings to all the dishwashers seeing this.
Three day as one this job is hell
almost 4 years and the job is easy i get paid well get the hours i want and am great friends with everyone i work with
I'm not gonna lie, I just got a job as a dishwasher, I'm alittle nervous cause the last job I had washing dishes at a fast food joint was way less complicated than this one will be, there's more machinery and different chemicals you use and this place is really popular and busy
@Foster the job is really easy you just need to get the handle of it and everything falls into place for simplicity :D i've worked at my job for 4 years and it is great!

I hope you're right man, I've got an hour before I start lol I'm sitting here in a parking garage hoping they train me well
Pros: free food
Cons: literally everything else
100% True
i’m 15 and they hardly give me food and if they do it will be a mini snack
999 Ripjuice that’s fucked
Vile • yeah i only do 5 hour shifts at a time so i eat after
Facts
you forgot to mention you go home soaking wet
raunchy1313 Your job does not provide you with Aprons?
Джинзó Аркайдия yeah but still shoes and socks
even worst if you work in a sea food restaurant then your leaving home soaking wet and smelling fishy.
That,s why you have a Apron. So this way you don,t get Soak.
@OG Bulls I agree former dish Beast here.
I've had a couple dishwashing jobs and the best thing about being a dishwasher is leaving your shift.
lol aint that the truth
I think the best part of this job is not being there because it's your off day
@@justanothernarutofanbeliev9932 Facts 👍 It's hard graft for sure you have to be hard working and organised. I will say I like that the time flies because you're always so busy and you get a good exercise aswell and also you don't have to put up with bitchy customers...
I've felt like that every job.
doesn't matter how fast i go i always fall behind on the dishes causing tiny panic attacks man . then i have to worry about washing the pots
QUIT IT , ITS NOT WORTH BEING A SLAVE
+AMV HopSpot You're right, anyone can wash fucking dishes. Use your specific skills for something else, fuck dishwashing dude.
David Alcala The Pots are a pain. Takes time off from washing other urgent dirty dishes, cups, ramikens.

True
nah idk kitchen porter is different level of pain
@@niallclarke8349 notna chance, a waiter is the worse job on hospitality.
@@AmazinglyGayPhil haha waiting tables is easy work, I was dishes alone during rush takes me 2 hrs after close to catch up. Waiters just stand around
Lmao oh please, be a dishwasher for a day, and we’ll see how that goes
I work 6 days a week from 11am to 11pm. It never ends, dishes and more dishes. I'm about to leave, the place is like a prison.
i don't blame you buddy there's way better jobs out there
I quit today, didn't even go in. Couldn't take it anymore.
Kitchen Porter Yep, and everyone else gets to eat there but the dishwasher. It's fucked there.
I quit a little after you did, dishwashing freaking sucks
Dishes are soo easy making 15$ and hour over time paid vacations paid sickddays they help you even the mangers jump in I mean it's a easy job money is great everyone is nice
The cooks at my job help out after the rush so we all go home together
must be nice
Mine too :)
some people expect you to do everything

nigguzz fuk no not in my case hhhaa
It’s funny that I decided to watch this right after I applied for this job
Mann right I just applied yesterday
@@nrgkidd1992 I'm a dishwasher working for bout 5 days make 11.50
@@lazyman7156 how tuff is it
@@anadignaserrano well the night shift is the worst shift that's what I'm on everybody literally throws there dishes at me and you be the last person to leave only thing good you getting hours other than that I take out the trash whenever its full and that's it but the job is easy it just get overwhelmed by how many dishes comes at 1 time I been there for bout a month now
Same 🙃
i just took this job because it didnt require a drug test...
oh shit, i wasnt expecting to get this many likes lol. I learned that almost every thing he says in this video, is true... except i started at 7.50 an hour... I only did it because i was part time student and wanted something to do after class. I quit after 3 months... but on the bright side, I'd smoke a joint in the parking lot after my shift xD
lol your right buddy cant believe i didnt say that as one of the pros
For my former dishwasher job they did required a drug test. But I did worked at a assisted living.
haha.. that's so smart of you!
Same plus the tips
@Salt_Fist it motivates one to stop drugs and pass the test, or you stay stuck there, a life of weed and dishes is pure depravity.
I was a dishwasher for like 90 minutes. Never again.
I get where you’re coming from, but being an experienced dishwasher is one of the gratifying jobs. When I look back on how far I’ve come it’s incredible. Now I’m slinging through dishes, getting paid well, can get a job at most any restaurant in the city (have worked more than just dish but prefer dish), etc. There’s no better feeling than getting through a rush and getting out before the cooks, I’ll tell you that.
That's good to hear. I'm considering the possibility.
May I ask:
I've heard people say that working as a dishwasher you end up really dirty by the end of your shift. What's your perspective about that?
I really like the idea of just being able to easily get a job anytime. Have spent way too much time just trying to figure out what to do in life, on various levels. Anything else you want to say about this kind of thing?
Thanks.
I’ve been a dishwasher for almost three years and everything is very true.
I've been a part time dishwasher at a busy restaurant for around 1 year now, and I can't complain. You have to manage your hours, and work as much as you need to, to get by. You get more experience in the restaurant business, your body stays active, which is good, and it's a pretty easy job, plain and simple. Ofc we don't say: I wan't to be a dishwasher for the rest of my life'' But it's a good start and no shame in it at all. Put in some headphones if you can, and go to work. It's not that bad.
The Emperor that's a good idea might have to bring headphones
@@VanHallen52 Yup, do it
Well, im fucked for my first day-.-
AaronAndroid were u work at
AaronAndroid lmaooooo
AaronAndroid how was it? lol
hey how'd it go? unless you were just joking...
How'd it go, Aaron?
I’ve been dishwashing for 4 years now. I’m in school so it’s not my life, but I actually love it. The rush of it all, and the satisfaction of finishing a giant mountain of dirty stuff. Also listening to music the whole time, and free food. It’s great. I just take a shower when I get home and wash my hands/arms a lot while working so it’s not too bad. You get used to the smell after about 2 weeks so it’s not even a bother anymore. And the trash isn’t so bad if you have a rhythm and schedule down to deal with it/cleaning stuff.
I’m also allowed to play music on a Bluetooth speaker at my restaurant, and the cooks and servers just be vibing with my jams. Lol
Dang, I forgot about the listening to our devices aspect of this, CZcams and Spotify entities will sure have a lot more guests for me to hear abstractions from adjacent entities to talk about, and thats gunna be like the kind of fun I enjoy at home, driving, and in public anyway, its really a no compromises from your enjoyment, no talking, you dont even have to be sober, hah who would know the recluse from fake society job would feel and be just as they wanted life anyway but with pay!
I just did my first as a dishwasher yesterday and everything you said was spot on. Dishwashing isn't the job for me.
Me too, man. I started working as a dishwasher yesterday got in at 6 pm and didn't leave till 4am it was fucking hell! The cooks were telling me it was a slow day but I was washing shit nonstop. This was my first job ever and I quit today, I was just gonna leave during my break yesterday cause it fucking sucked but I ended up staying (to fund a guitar, I'll ultimately get paid about 100$(10$ an hour in Los Angeles)). I was standing for 9 and a half fucking hours! I'm a fit guy and I thought I could take it but no it some backbreaking work. I also woke up this morning and my hands are dry as fuck while I was washing dishes yesterday it LITERALLY felt like my nails were being peeled back or slowly coming loose. I feel bad for people who gotta do this shit. I haven't even told my "boss" I "quit" I'm just not gonna show up. But it's all good it was a real eye opening experience, shows you just how hard it is out there. I don't want to live like that. Hope you find a job you enjoy @Franky Lo. Also, If ANYBODY out there is thinking of taking a job as a dishwasher please don't there are better alternatives!
Kinda latr on this , but if its your first job or was your first job go at it , so its hard but you learn from it , also you apprecaite money wayyyy more after working
@@jordymurillo8006 good for you , i dont get that much but i could get 1 grand if i work all week . Also my shufts are 3.5 hours so i dont get much money but its fine , dont quit yet , i say save up more money and quit later

I felt the same way as well. Gotta do the shit no one wants to do, that's how you'll get to where very few go.
This guy speaks nothing but the truth.
This has to be the most upfront and real video I've seen about this bullshit job thanks am not applying for this shit
+sinsOfgreed thank you for your comment. trust me this job sucks really bad. its not worth the stress your better off starting off as a cook or a waiter when it comes to restaurant work.
Good for you . I am actually applying. Haha, Good luck to me
i too in singapore
I've been washing dishes at a busy local restaurant for about 4 months now. It's horrible, and everything this guy said is right. You're treated like an animal, you clean everything, and you get paid almost minimum wage. This job has also led to burns, cuts, and an aching back. Fuck dishwashing.
now what bouts a donut bakerie
bruh h0w many hrs a day did u workz
if your smart you won't burn yourself and if your careful and do the job right you won't cut yourself. I have only one hand and I'm always in the hole washing and I do it all one handedly and my window always clear. always food for us we get chances to smoke I make more then min. tho with how I work but I enjoy it managers are great as well
This job honestly sucks man
ramon1691 if you don't like ur job quit or find something better for yourself. I am a former dishwasher and I left that industry and now work front desk at a nearby big hotel. couldn't be any more content where I am now, I was miserable as a dishwasher. seriously the restaurant industry isn't worth shit. find something better dude. good luck!
I just quit my dishwasher job at chili's, complete hell hole. It's been a month and now I'm jobless currently looking for work, life is good smh
Aoxea can’t blame u I work in chilies too it’s hard
....I'm thinking about applying to chilli's as a dishwasher ....lol
@@ngoany9869 NOOOOO, but try everything once I guess haha
@world Mistake which chillies did u work at? And was it the Co workers?
@@ngoany9869 I think all chili's are the same, but I worked somewhere here in California. The workload for a dishwasher at my place was too much and very busy pretty much every day, a very high demand job. I was the only dish washer in my shift but maybe other places have multiple dish washers in one shift who knows
One pro about this job is that any other job you get after is so much easier / better . . .
haha lol 4 real
Was a dishwasher for 5 years. Got out during Covid and now i’m a Quality Inspector for a Muffler manufacturing plant. Sure, washing dishes sucks, but it gives you a work ethic that is impossible not to respect
Ya it sucks but if you take pride into your work then you good!
5years?🙄
@@mavis3916and ?
this isn't exactly a career worthy job, so yeah, it's gonna suck. it's an entry level job and a first work experience job. not something to earn 100k a year on.
yea not a job to do more than a couple months just a quick job to get hired fast. lol 100k a year your lucky to even get 12000 a year with this job.
@@CiScOx69 yh obviously generally it's not a good job but it's ok for young people you just have to be a very hard worker and its ideal if your not really a people person I rather do it over customer service job personally
Most professional kitchens, if you want to cook, start you off as a dishwasher.
Sadly I want to cook but cant do the physical labor of dishwashing.
@@nathan2497 it's not really about working as hard as you can. If you cant PHYSICALLY do it, you will fall behind. People like myself will work til we need crutches and still be behind.
So true
I’m 17 and I dishwashed for a restaurant for about 10 months... if you are a teen DO NOT apply for a job. Trying to balance school, sports, and this job save yourself the sadness and avoid it.
this video is so true, I watched this video before and after I became a dishwasher, I work at a Mexican restaurant called El Torito, not only do I was dishes I make salsa, make chips, take out the trash, clean the machine, clean the cooks machines (fryer, grills) and you still have to wash dishes at the same time. they expect you to do all this and clean the dishes really fast and it's nit worth what they pay, you end up going home soaked in dirty food water and food and cuts all over your hand and your feet aching from standing in your wet shoes and socks all day... I work two jobs though so it's even harder for me. the other day I worked 16 hours smh
Damn i had the same experience but at Burger King
Dominic Buchanan heck no cooks equipment is their responsibility to clean atleast most normal places you don't cook and aren't trained on it you shouldn't clean it
true that man, they always look down on you even though youre the one who is doing most of the work. the other day I worked a 14 hours shift without a break, and I was the only one who didnt get a break.
@stevey626 fucking pussy
I use to work at an Outback Steakhouse. Was the busiest restaurant in the area, I had weekend shifts. I was 21 at the time and it was my first job after college, I thought it would be easy at first but after 7 months in the pit it was some of the worst experiences I’ve had. I still am glad I did it because it’s humbled me and made me stronger. Everything about this video is true though. Nobody cared about dishwashers 0 respect for mediocre pay
They don't realize how important the dishwasher is until he or she doesn't show up to work.
I wash dishes at a Mexican restaurant not because I want to but because I need the money. I get paid $8.25 which is complete shit but I do get the hours I want. I work with a bunch of friendly Guatemalans who will cook for me whenever I want and they do help me with the prep dishes at times. You won’t get treated like shit if you’re a hard worker but it will definitely feel like the FOH doesn’t respect you with the way they just toss the dishes with napkins/silverware/trash still on it. It’s easy to get the hang of it and I usually just throw my headphones in and bust my ass. Tbh it’s only worth it if you need the money but if you don’t then I wouldn’t recommend it. Everything he said was spot on tho but I’m just trying to better myself and get back home.
I'm a dishwasher I never get yelled at barely work overtime and I get free drinks. It's actually pretty good. Taking out trash isn't that bad and I get paid $11 an hour
I Wish My Experience Was As Good As Yours !
Haha yeah it's not bad I guess I'm lucky. I actually just finished a shift now and I'm taking phone calls too!
Taking out trash "isn't that bad" until one bag weighs like 80 pounds and you almost throw your back out because your asshole fellow dishwasher doesn't help, he makes you do it by yourself which is disrespectful and the dumpster is filled to the brim every Thursday and Friday. You can't even jam it through a side door in the dumpster.
You literally have to lift that shit over your head and hope the bag doesn't bust open. Fuck taking out trash.
I get paid 8 dollars and 16 cents every hour and I live in Ohio where I'm supposed to get 9 dollars an hour at minimum. This job is not worth it plus we have the most important job in the restaurant but we're not paid like it.
Servers, where I work, are only good for two things: dirtying server trays and dropping them off in the dish room, and picking tips off the table while leaving excess condiments laying about.
SO TRUE!!!!
big facts
Yes!!
And you rarely get THANK YOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
J'sVanLife. For me, I don't mind.
I appreciate you.
At my job, I work as a dishwasher, and everyone thanks me, not every day mind you, but quite often they do.
I'm a dishwasher who works the least busiest days of the week at the restaurant i work at. Everyone is friendly, and i make $10.75 CAD. Sure, i don't look forward to i, but it's my first job. I think it's a nice job to have as your first job to make you understand what working a job really is. Though if you're planning to be a dishwasher as your job for your lifetime, then you fucked up :P
I'm in the same boat as you, but the thing is that I'm friends with like everyone at the place I work. and we all squad up and play destiny.
Dimitri Sainis same bro, I work at a restaurant as a dishwasher and unlike what he said he cooks actually help me sometimes and my managers don't bitch and complain to me at all
i live in quebec too calissee
+Korban Angwin lmao real shit the only reason I still do this shit because I work with all my playstation homies
Dimitri Sainis for myself this is all I know
I honestly loved my dishwashing job. It was chill, great employees and kept me healthy. I was outpacing guys 15-20 years younger than me just because I kept healthy, ate healthy, got good sleep. I think the better places are breakfast places like IHOP, because it gets really busy only in the mornings, and doesn't stay super busy all day nonstop.
I think we need to get some yoga in as well. I know I could use the flexibility, or at least be able to stand up again after I bend down. 😆

@@justindorsch2359 thats good thanks for replying
See my cook cooks for me everyday and even helps out when he sees I’m struggling. My manager does the same thing. It’s not too bad of a job tbh. And I get free refills of pop
you forgot the alcoholism bro. the foh spends the most at the bar, the line drinks the hardest, but the dishwasher drinks the most. every day. i used to keep a bucket of ice filled with 16 tall cans of beer in it in the corner of the pit, half for during work, half for after. i've cut down tho as i don't want to be an alcoholic or drink my shift away. right now, i sit around 6-8 talls a day and when i take a smoke break, i have a beer. it's not that bad being a dishwasher, i make as much as a cook these days. and the number one thing to remember is - every single other job in a restaurant is easily replaceable if the person fucks up enough. a dishwasher has to really really fuck up to get fired. because it's the hardest job to fill as no one wants it. so to anyone out there thinking of doing this as a summer job, pt job or career; understand - work your ass off every day, all day long and you will always have a job; anywhere in the world, for the rest of your life! don't let the job run you; you run the job. and every single day, you will leave the job with a sense of job satisfaction and you will appreciate every single seond that you are not in the pit. it gives you a sense of life appreciation that everyone else in every other job wishes they had at the end of the day. for you; that's just another day. good luck, my brothers and sisters
i take wine or vodka with me, no way in fucking hell am i going to work without alc, sometimes the chef gives us beer but thats not strong enough for the dish pit, the only benefit of a dish job is you can reek of alcohol and no one give af, because the chef is usually drinking too so he cant smell it
also the owners and suits are drinking wine and snorting coke in the office so they cant smell shit either
dam tho bro 8 talls a day lol my ulcer cant handle all that foam i will puke pink/bloody foam if i drink more than 2 beers, is why i preach the sermon of vodka- less content for my rotted stomach to process
@@walmartian Same happens to me I vomit foam.
Too many kiddos trying to keep up with their school catacomb friend's latest feed wall post about their "lives", and feel any actual job beyond what they stated in highschool is beneath them, life will catch up to them and show how much any of that really matters when your bills are VERY REAL.
I'm a dishwasher. It's my Second job. Basically all he said is true. But I actually like my job. Yea the pay sucks for what you do but it's the best I can find right now. My Co workers are nice and help me out a lot more than they should even though it is my third day. They help me if they have nothing to do sometimes or if I have questions. The free meals, yea it's hard to eat there because there's really never a time too. Especially when the cooks are busy with orders. Also the smell of the food all day makes you not want to eat well at least for me. Especially when you clean other people's dirty dishes and the smell is horrible especially when it lingers hours after you clock out. Sometimes the waiters are so busy and rushed they will literally throw the dishes at you. You never stay dry and the left over food sticks to you all night. You are usually the last one there. And the back pain is true. I already have a bad back and standing all day with no to little breaks kills me. Honestly though I won't complain because it is still a job that pays which I'm thankful for.
I agree it isn't like that super horrible
G L that part where u said they throw the dishes at u cause its busy asf fuck that i feel like a slave
G L youre too cute to be a dishwasher
You're very pretty! But anyways don't worry you'll find something better eventually if you haven't already
G L Damn, girl. Hope you're active on your account and know that you look good as honey. Would love to work at a restaurant with a female dishwasher to keep work heat-in-the moment 😘🍓🍑🌸🌸🌻
cons:
- always last out the building (say 11pm-midnight, sometimes 1am)
- having to put up with repeated crap music that the chefs put on
- having to deal with a psychopath headchef
- phonecalls from other KPs asking you to do their shift (usually followed by some BS why they can't do the shift)
- coming across a lazy chef that gets you to fetch you something from about a feet away
- dumb front of house staff that get in your way
- taking out 50kg bin bags that split because the chefs fill them up without thinking about who has to lift it.
- cleaning up spills because of a dumb move a chef has done, when really thEY should clean it up.
4 Real. You Aint Lying
All true and damn I felt that
this is so accurate omg
Very accurate list on cons that's exactly what it's like lol👍 The pros for me are
1. Good for Introverted people ( Not dealing with customers ).
2. Good exercise.
3. Days go fast because you are so busy.
4. It's a basic job even though it's very hard fast paced work so it's not too bad in a way.
5. It can be pretty relaxed when no senior chefs are around because you can just get on with it without having jobs given to you every 5 mins.
This man speaks truth.l was a dishwasher for almost 8 years at the same time prep, changing greasefriers, cutting chicken, and so on. The pit is no where to be, but at the same time I think most people should work in a reatruant at least 2 months, it will change you and your outlook on things for the better.👍
Gaw damn 8 years mAh nigga was living his best life I couldn't even think in pass one week
dude, if you were doing prep then you weren't doing dish!!
I just started a month ago at a busy restaurant in Chicago right across from Wrigley Field. We get SWAMPED and you’re right, you’re not just dishwashing but I also do prep, put away produce/orders, and even buss tables when it’s that busy. It’s hard but it builds good work ethic. I don’t hope to do it forever but I’m pushing through for now.
@@DefianceDesigners What other jobs are similar to Kitchen Portering ?

THANK YOU!!! The OFFICIAL OLIVE GARDEN DISHWASHER TRAINING VIDEO! Ive worked as a dishwasher for about 20 years...I agree 60% with you...Been there done that...IT ALL DEPENDS WHO YOU WORK FOR...Yes when it comes to a free meal, how much your paid and how managers treat you, it ALL DEPENDS ON THE COMPANY. Worked for Olive Garden, Friendlys Logans Roadhouse and Red Robin. The last 3 entries were very good to me. But its HIGH VOLUME BACK BREAKING WORK. But that is how I was raised. You dont go home tired and dirty you havent worked. But thats what I enjoy doing. When I come to work, most of the time I walk into a absolute disaster. BUT...The staff and management know its gonna get done and enjoy watching me. Ya know just like the tv show Cheers "sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name and their always glad you came"
Thank you for your great feedback buddy. the work does suck and the pay aint worth it but you can still kinda look past that part since you do get free meals and meet cool people. But no mater what it really depends with the people you work with if there scumbag it will never work out. Im just glad im out of theses kitchen jobs it was a big waste of time for me and i did it all waiter,busboy,dish,cook,manager
Pros = Free Food.
Cons = Low Pay.
I’m about to start working and they are going to pay me $14hr
@@urielish980 Trust me, it not worth it bro.
Sometimes they don’t even offer you anything
SO TRUE. You're never fast enough, gotta bring the clean dishes up to the cooks, very cramped, work fast as hell without chipping anything, dry, wash and cycle, organize, all at once... While bringing a clean cart and taking new dishes back in time or else nobody else can do their job. For me no food AND minimum wage. I'm quitting as soon as possible.
it just aint worth it !!! they make it like that its a skan so they can fire and hire people for lower pay and not worry about giving people raises
I don't get that? I worked a place like that to it sucks when you have to run the dishes back to the cooks . And especially when it's slow SMH lazy ass people
@@coldworldandrew385 yh most chefs are lazy it seems plus they take breaks when does a kp even get chance to take a break?
I recently just got a new job and I am now leaving my job as a dishwasher. I've been a dish washer at Cracker Barrel for almost 2 1/2 years, and this was my first job. I'll tell you what this video was so spot on I couldn't help but laugh. I started making $8.25 an hour and with me working there for as long as I did, I only got up to $8.40. The managers don't give you damn about you, the servers don't give a damn about you, the cooks don't give a damn about you, your a legit slave. Every time I've walked in that place I've ALWAYS have had to pick up after someone's lazy ass that worked before me. I was by far the best dishwasher and longest dishwasher they had and the managers still treated me like I was 5 years old. The amount of times I've stayed there past 12 am is unreal, just because of how much stuff you have to clean and watch everyone go home hours before you do, when you even came in as the same time they did. If you are looking to be a dishwasher, think twice.
+s1rcan0n Truth iS No Mater How Good Or Bad You Are Don"t Mater. No One Cares About You. Your iN The Back All Alone iN The Dish Pit. iM A Cook Now And i Dont Even Look Or Think Of Dish or look back there. I Throw My Dirty Plates And iM Out.
Facts
I was a dishwasher for a year or so. One of the best jobs I ever had. I am now a painter and I love it
If you feel stuck in a dishwasher job, try to observe everything about the dish machine that you can while you’re doing your job. Pay attention to how the chemical pumps and and when the chemicals pump as it cycles. You can land a pretty decent gig with a company like ecolab or a competitor that specializes in everything you’re putting your hands in on a daily basis. A lot of these companies will train you on the specifics and offer a good salary and benefits. Take everything you learned on that shitty job and use it land a better paying gig that doesn’t require any specific electrical or plumbing training.
Dude, I know EXACTLY how you feel because I was a dishwasher and I HATED it!!! I can literally write the great American novel in this comment about how bad it was.
Maaaaaaan I'm tired I work a dish washer job....I got to wash dishes in the down stairs Kitchen and the upstairs kitchen....and it's waaaaay to much work....I get aggravated and angry all the time.....and I got to do other work to that's not in my job description...and I take out a lot of trash....and the job in the summer time has no ac....it's to hot.
It's been 3 years as of yesterday being a dishwasher. Needless to say, I'm actually impressed with myself and shocked that I managed to keep a job like that for so long. My dish area is tiny as hell, there's not enough room to store plates or whatever else on my clean side of the dish machine which is why they all just need to go straight to the cooking line in any case. I always keep a sink filled with hot soapy water to soak stubborn and screaming hot frying pans, and the end of each night just depends on how fast your able to keep up on everything coming to you throughout the course of your shift. After 3 years I'm definitely considering to move on to a whole new different industry instead of the food service.
I just finished my first day as a dishwasher and I already want to quit!
I work everyday 4pm-9 or 10:30 pm..
Parts of my body are sore that never even been sore before.
Whole job completely sucks but i need some money so, I’m looking to quit once school starts back up 😭😭
Hey can you give me a little update? do you still work as a dishwasher?
@@vestineangeneye1891 I actually only ended up working as a dish washer for 2-3 weeks, the only issue was because it was a 30 min drive from me and school was starting back up. I ended up sore because I wasnt used to carrying heavy things for constant hours. Depending where you are a dish washer for, it can be good or bad. For my job, i was the only dish washer for the night shift so it was a bit much for me to handle on my own.
@@vestineangeneye1891 to be quite honest, if you are looking a job I’d personally skip over dish washer because it can be a bit much. The only good part about it for me was free dinner and an hour of chill time before the dinner rush hits which normally lasted the entire shift..
I love the "what do you think happens to the managers?" as if they're in a hostage situation or some other type of trouble. Just playing, but so much of what you're saying is true.
You lose dishwashers at a restaurant in a week. People say F*** that I'm moving somewhere else where it's easier than being a dishwasher. It's easier to be a manager than a dishwasher
I'm an ex dishwasher and I understand how tough it is.
There is one good thing about being a dishwasher you will get so much overtime and free food that you won't have to eat at home very much if you need your electricity turned back on you will have it on in 2 weeks when your paid.
Interview soon, lol.... I need money.
+Juls Tardis 8.50cents?? :o oh boy I'm about to to get an interview myself but i need the money
So am I . Interview tomorrow.
Dennis HP same lmao
Dennis HP I bet you quit lol
BrEEzy TonY EXACTLY. LOL
Coming from a dishwasher, it’s all fine until it gets to be 100 degrees in the kitchen and you have 50 dishes backed up. Not to mention getting to leave an hour and a half after everyone else
Holy shit everything you say here is so accurate all cook,server and everyone treat me like dog shit they don’t give a fuck when I’m burn out
all of these issues look like a symptom of poor management and restaurant practices. i've been a cook for over 5 years, recently lost my job and have been starting at the bottom on the dishes the past month (a job i've never had). i was just trained on the line. i started out at a decent $11 wage, not great but certainly not the minimum of $7.25. dishwashing, i received a lot of thankfulness and praise for my hard work, and management and the cooking staff always made sure to give me a break to eat at least a little bit. sounds like you worked in a toxic kitchen where nobody respects anyone elses hard work. in fact, i would say the dishwasher is the hard number one hardest worker in any commercial kitchen, hands down.
yea bro very toxic kitchens i worked at seems like the only good people never end up staying always left the with most miserable people. i to started as a line cook and i will have to agree dish washing is much harder then line cook. i thought it would be easier since you dont have to deal with the tickets but i was wrong
got fired today , washing dishes in the butcher i got so stressed , so much dishes and all they do is complain saying i need to do this before working and getting promotion 7 Euros a hour as a student they asked to much of me and started to fail later on and they fired me giving me 20 Euros for 9 hours of work im happy they did it. third student job damn i went to suit anyway after a week.
Yup. This guy speaks the truth about being a dishwasher.😒
honestly as long as I don't have to deal with customers anymore I'll deal with it. washing dishes, taking out trash and making sure everything around me stays clean. doesn't sound horrible
Same here, I’d rather do more physical work myself than communicate with customers
You guys are too funny. Go get a dishwasher job then.
@@jesselirio5758 I have one
@@reverse8213 Good luck with that job then. In my case Ive had bad experiences working as a dishwasher in many restaurants.
I never understood floor mats when you can simply wear non-slip shoes,
I know Right I always Said The Same Thing.
Thank god we don't have them in my dish pit. Been working washing dishes for 15 months now. We just hired a guy who did dishes at this one place for fucking 22 years! AND THEY NEVER GAVE HIM A RAISE!!! Nice guy who got taken advantage of. Anyhow 15 months and 26 dishwashers later I'm still here. But I got it made. I open now, mon-fri 9-5 and the weekends OFF! And I just got a raise like 3 weeks ago. Making $14 an hour now because I do, well, everything.
Floor mats also absorb shock
They are also squishy but they never helped my aching feet
You're not walking on puddles of water but the bad side to them they have to be cleaned regularly.
I'm glad I watched this before I got called in to an interview😂😂😂
I'm Glad I Could Help You Out Buddy. Trust Me It's A Waste Of Time !
thanks a lot buddy.
I Reconciled. Smh, I'm not applying for this Dishwasher Job Anymore. Nope
I’m going to say no on my trial day, I wasted fives years of my life doing this shit.
Dude, I have been working as a dishwasher for five years and you took the words right out of my mouth!
Aside the manager annoying me and sitting down a lot, most of wait staff were so super friendly and nice to me. They don't get enough for carrying heavy trays of food and dealing with rude customers for 2-5 dollars at hour! So please everyone, tip your waitress for the hard work.
Here in Australia, here are the PROS and CONS:
PRO: You get paid $30 an hour or more and I'm not kidding. Everyone in Australia is super rich, even the street sweepers. There's no tipping in Australia because everyone is so rich already.
PRO: You get to talk about stuff with the friendly chefs, most of them are from overseas in Australia, attracted by the high wages.
PRO: It's the same every day, when you get good, you stay good.
CON: Because you get paid so much, the deal is you work smarter not harder. I never heard of any dishwashers getting neck and back pains. You have to work super fast and you have to chop vegetables, clean floors, wipe down the sinks, and very quickly, so quickly that you can take long breaks to have some small talk with the staff.
CON: You have to refuse all food and drinks offered by staff. If you don't, you could get the sack.
CON: You have to dress immaculately, smell good and look like some sort of celebrity. If you don't, you could get the sack.
@@TheTruthIsFiction they offer me drink but it never comes. so I just buy a drink at the shop before the shift.😂😂😂
I'm currently working as a dishwasher, and everything you say is damn true here in Australia !!
It's painful being a dishwasher. And there's no perfect dishwasher...but a hard worker is appreciated somewhere, right?
Not in kitchens
It depends where you work at some pay 15$ an hour plus you're not by yourself
I agree with this..I do dishwashing, I get paid 10 an hour and free food if they have time to cook it. however the prep kitchen is down stairs so I have to carry pots and pans up and down stairs all day. I hand wash dishes, spray dishes and run the dishwasher all while running up and down those damn stairs with no help and I'm always the last to leave. sometimes work a double 11 am to 10:30 pm with a two hour break that makes me not want to go back to those DAMN STAIRS! But hey I'm not complaining, it's a job right? Go team come home smelling like wet food. On the bright side everyone I work with is chill ass people even the boss is cool when he's not yelling to get shit done now lls I love my job
Damn, they don't even let me have free food at my job. I work dishwasher at a casino and it is horrible. I work graveyard shift, Wash Plates and pots, clean the matts, Pull down the vents to wash them, clean the ALL the drains that the food falls in, take out the trash and the huge pile of cardboard boxes outside, change the oil, wipe down the areas where the cooks work at. The kitchen is always active, so I have to work around the cooks while they are cooking, even if it means I have to stand up on top of the stove to take down the vents as they are cooking, they make us wear masks and goggles while we wash dishes, which makes no sense to me, and all the supervisors are lazy micromanagers. It's my 3rd year there so far and I've been trying to move up to a different department for a year and a half now, but from what I heard, they don't want to move me because of the fact that no one wants to wash dishes and we don't get new employees much, but If I quit, there will be less workers regardless. It sucks seeing all that fresh food being thrown away and you can't even have any, while looking at all the people in the other department work far less and make far more as you stand in a corner by yourself washing dishes with depressing thoughts, hoping your boss doesn't ask you to help them with some bullshit around the kitchen they could do only to send you back to the dishes that just piled up 3x's as much within a short time. I come home, sleep for about 10-11 hours barely anytime to eat and get ready before I go back to work with a stress headache. I hate doing this and I want a new job so badly, it feels like i'm never getting out of this.
If you get hired as a dishwasher ur basically gonna do everything. Help lazy servers bus tables, clean bathrooms, prep food, take out ALL the trash, and work your ass off washing dishes. Not just plates but big shit that the cooks use and everything
One shift i had to call out that day cuz i was in so much pain and could barely move from working 3 days 16 hour shifts back to back
i bet they gave you shit for calling off. Restaurant jobs are all a waste of time.that sucks bro i don't miss it for nothing in the world.
16 hour shift..!! Is that normal in US? Sounds fucking mad, illegal.
Nick D omg so sad
I use to work at this local resturant in Austin called Hillside Farmacy, it was everything you talked about in this video plus a bunch of extra drama for $10 an hour. It was fun for a while because all my best friends worked there, but the thing that made me quit was this old dishwasher that would leave 2 hours early and leave me fucked for the rest of the night. I quit there and got a new job working downtown for Facebook paying $16 an hour with benefits, paid vacation, paid sick leave, 401k plans and 12 holidays out of the year. I have worked there for about 3 and a half months and already have about +$7k plus the rest of what I was saving from my old job. Its the easiest job ever because we only serve facebook employees and have some of the most organic and freshest food I have ever seen.
My first job was being a roofer with my father over the summer when I was 17. Outside heat, 12-13 hours a day, yeah I think I can handle being inside with AC.
To be honest, restaurant jobs will give you depression. It’s usually shit money for hard, dirty work. Everyone smokes and is always stressed. Don’t work in restaurants unless it’s like fine dining and you make bank.
100% True
LOCO MiXO I’m glad you made this video because it’s the most honest one detailing how shit being a dishwasher is. I watched your other restaurant videos. Entertaining stuff. I’ve worked in restaurants in the past and the videos made me happy to hear someone talk about how bad it is lol
True that.. but don’t think it’s any different at a fine dining restaurant. Just as toxic as any other type of restaurant that I’ve worked at. You only make bank serving and the snobbery is unbelievable.
I used to work at Logan's Roadhouse years ago when they first opened and we never were offered anything to eat...ever...I even started bringing lunch from home at one point and the management put a stop to it stating either eat outside as food from an outside source could cross contaminate their food which is bullshit since I was eating sandwiches my Mom made me at the time...rude managers, impatient servers and they all treated dishwashers like shit. The guy in the video hit the nail right on the head explaining how you were treated.
thank you for your feedback buddy. i'm sorry you had to go threw the same bullshit i did. I cant believe they didnt feed you all or let you bring your own food how awful! aww dumb mangers and bitchy co-workers im so glad i dont do that work any more i dont miss it for nothing in the world.
I’m not even going to lie I already have 3 jobs and a friend told me about the dishwasher job at Cracker Barrel so I thought why not since it’s like 5-10pm and he works there now but looking at this video making me think twice. I’ll give it try though.
so how was it did you do it?
How was it?did you end up doing it?
Im watching this cuz I don't want to deal with customers....I think I have social anxiety....and if no one gonna do the dishes...who gonna? Lol just hope the Co workers are nice tho..
right it can be a good job for us introverts
ive been a dishwasher for almost 2 years at jfk airport. I watched this video before my first day and i should've listened to this man. literally everything he said IS CORRECT. Its borderline slavery and you are also going to have to do an maintenance to the kitchen. Ive had to paint and be a plumber when the kitchen sewage flooded it is disgusting. the supervisors and managers are really never satisfied and if you are fast with your job they make you do all the other workers jobs and make you go back to doing dishes after the sink is full. imagine coming out of class and you walk into a kitchen that wasnt cleaned for 4 hours its like what you see in a movie and after you clean no thank you no hey i appreciate it absolutely no discretion. I BEG YOU DO NOT BECOME A DISHWASHER IT IS NOT WORTH IT!!!!
Thank You For Your Truthful Comment. Wow buddy i can't believe they made you do plumbing and paint wait never mind i believe it.This job sucks i'm so glad i don't work in any kitchen no respect not worth the pay and full of miserable people . Hope Everything works out for you and you find something you love to do have a wonderful day buddy.
Im reading this comment a day before I start lol
Great video! This video made me laugh because its all true! I was once dishwasher and let me tell you, it's Fuck up job. You get wet sock, wet shoe, wet underwear, and wet t-shirt everyday. Time to time I cut myself in my hands or finger from any of sharp item. Its annoying how manager expecting you to get it done as same time as the cooker and other staff. Its impossible. I work 2 time as hard, get no respect sometime and I call them out. I usually didn't have time for any of coworkers after work event party because I always get off late! This job basically a janitor but doesnt want to label it because they doesn't want to embarress you. Oh and I clean the wall! I'm so glad I don't work this job. I work great job now.
Thanks Buddy. For real i didnt even mention about being covered soaking
wet all the time. Dam silver ware always cutting up your hands well i
mean whats left of your hand looking all old and soggy from being wet
all the time. No respect what so ever im so glad i dont do this crap anymore
and good for you buddy for not putting up with it either. Have A
wonderful Day buddy thank you for your comment.
I work as a dishwasher 😢😢😢I hate it but I need the money
it sucks what we put are self's threw just for money even worst when the money isnt even worth it.
Speed is key
@@CiScOx69 ikr
Aww man i know i feel you i work as a security guard i like the job but the money sucks.
I've been working for like 8 months and I'm about to quit. My hands is all fucked up from the handle bar. It fucking sucks tbh
Worked as a dishwasher for about a year when I was in high school. I got a decent amount of money from it, but it was bloody hard work with very inconsistent hours. Sometimes you'd never get a proper break during the day.
Bro had me cracking up. I'm a dishwasher and he's talking mostly facts. Coming from iowa yo
Thanks for the advice bro,I was thinking about applying for this dish washing job in Manhattan New York. But after watching this I think It's best to keep my options open for a job in the city that's less stressful😀
I work as dishwasher in Morgan hill ca in retirement home...easiest job ever no prepwork 😂😂easy ass work for 13.00 bucks
Yeah but that’s a retirement home, apply to a restaurant dishwasher and it’ll be a hell hole
I'm job hunting right ow and there are a bunch of dishwasher jobs available....I now understand why! Thanks for the heads up
I did it for about 2 months and I’m still blessed that I still have my sight. Never will I forget that night where I had to wash that glass cover for that meat grilling machine. The glass had to break right in front of my face. I’m lucky those glass pieces didn’t land on my eyes or I’d be permanently blinded.
Today was my first day as a dishwasher and it was honestly a very fast and pace job. It was hours of pure cleaning and it was a challenge. I hope I can manage and continue this job. And for no experience and I never had a job before I’m off to a good pay and it’s not 8$ an hour lol
Apparently dishwashers are the “backbone” of restaurants. So much hardwork & hectic & don’t get paid good enough for it. And sometimes get respect from most employees
I've been a dishwasher for over a year. It's pretty painful I get back pain and neck pain. Although the cooks and the chefs are pretty nice most of the time. Most servers and some of the managers have no respect for us we work our asses off and they treat us like shit. I've wanted to quit this job for such a long time but it's been difficult for me to find another job.
(FRIDAY MOVIE QUOTE) Aw, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God. God. Oh, I'm hurt. Oh, my neck, my back, my neck and my back. Oh, I want $150,000, but we can settle out of court right now for twenty bucks.
@@CiScOx69 I never saw this reply until three years later. 😂😂 But I'm out of the Kitchen and onto better things👍
I’m a dishwasher, I get 14 bucks the hour and it’s super easy. Until they close up and all the kitchen staffs throw all their shit they used to cook, plus the soda machine racks, cutting boards, etc. But I managed to finish fast :)
Every point and con mentioned in this video had me smiling for just how accurate and relatable they were once you brought them up. I fucking lost it once you brought up Scarface cause I recently stopped that film to look up "dishwasher job" when that very scene brought me back to that heluva shit-storm stress of a steakhouse i had to work for. Every day I watch your vid I'm very relieved to have the current job I have now.
+MSNTHRP Thank You So Much Glad You Enjoyed. Yea That Scarface Scene Is Hard To Watch Still Till This Day. Its Makes Me Think Of That Nightmare Of A Job And Whats Funny Is Once Scarface Left Dishing He Became Much Better Off And Thats So True Im So Much Better Off Now And Glad You Are To.
been dishwashing for 6 years as a job to get by as I finish my schooling but it always sucks, especially if you are a hard worker. The stress the comes with a restaurant job is never worth it, unless youre the owner and your business is booming
Preaching to the choir . Have been a dishwasher for many years of my life and have broken my neck for a bunch of ungrateful , disrespectful and selfish coworkers that can't even be bothered to match plates and leave a place organized and you spend 90% of the night either cleaning up or doing extra work and cleaning duties on top of what you're then the managment have the nerve to complain you're taking too long to finsh up while they just in the office doing jack squat or playing with their phones or talking to the bartenders , Recently quit a job at a restaurant a few months ago when a supervisor accused me of swaering at her and the GM calls me up and i get into a 29 min . argument over the situation and he has the gaul to say to me and i quote "Just finish up and we'll talk about it next time you're in " Suffice to say i told him where to go and walked out leaving that supervisor and an uppity cook wannabe to close up . Payback's a bitch . As far as i'm concerned they got wtf they deserved . F--- them in a huge way . Might attempt to get another job 1 way or another but right now just worrying about myself . Easy way to pass the night is crank up some tunes and kill the job as fast as possible .
I completely agree!
Most days I worked around 8 to 10 hours and had 12 hour shifts Fridays and Saturdays. Got tired of dealing with the waiters, how loud they were and how they could land a job as a waitress/waiter but couldnt stack dishes right... Got tired of being two people at once, washing the dishes and sprinting back to the cooking line to put them up... Did I forget to say I had to play hopscotch through the cooks to put up dishes while they're cooking super hot food with flames flying everywhere? Had to deal with the frequent bumping into cooks because they don't know how to use peripheral vision. Got tired doing prep. Got tired of leaving the dishpit and going out to where customers eat in order to bring the dishes back to the dishpit because the bussers were moving like -2mph, then wash the dishes and then put up the dishes... Got tired of people filling the trash cans up so much that if you dared trying to throw it into the dumpster it's an automatic shower... Got tired of the unreliable Co workers that always showed up late and putting more hell on me... Got tired of putting so much work in and not getting paid for it... Some days it felt like a business startup and I thought I was making progress only to realize the fact that I got paid 540$ after two weeks of work equivalent to training for Mr.Olympia... Got tired of the cooks on the line asking me to get them plates while they just stand there with nothing to do... There were times where they left the cooking line to come to the dishpit to tell me they needed a certain pot, pan, or whatever when they could've used the same energy to get it themselves... I quit yesterday... I'd rather just trade binary options and flip 40 bucks into a years salary in a matter of a week... No point in breaking my back so someone else can make my millions. Screw that!
Wow Very Well Said Thank You So Much For Your Awesome Feedback! Everything You Just Said Is So True ! If I Missed Saying Anything In This Video You My Friend Covered It! I'm Glad You Left This Nightmare Job And Found Something Better Best Of Luck Buddy.
LOCO FRaNCiSCO Muchas gracias hermano! I've learned a lot as a dishwasher, but it's time to use my brain instead of my physique. Best wishes to you also amigo!
I applied for a dishwasher position at a pub downtown in my city. My friend works there and I'm gonna be working the shifts he used to, which is like 5 days a week like 4-6 hrs a shift. I have no problem with washing dishes, I actually enjoy it. My friend said the staff and management were all nice and chill and he made around $450-$600 a paycheck
I actually applied for this. My work experience can easily take the position of a manager but being in charge of everything drains you mentally.
Worked as a dishwasher for 3 years... I quit in February of this year with 2 weeks notice and didn't leave on a bad note because despite the job, the people including the owner were great to be with at staff events and such so now I go there as a customer. Anyway, this video speaks the truth about being the dishwasher. After my first few weeks I got much better and stuff but it was still stressful in all the 3 years down the road working there having everyone else (managers, cooks, and servers) constantly requesting me to put particular things through the machine, change a soda syrup box, portion food, mop a messy spot on the dining floor.... I can go on. What's even worse is that managers have asked me to drive to a store across the street or around the corner to grab shit they were short on... doing all those fucking requests or favors for the rest of the staff caused my dishpit to pile up like crazy, and speaking of which, I always walked in at the start of my shift seeing a big mess (over 50 plates, prep dishes, pots and pans) waiting for me... and no one ever gave a single fuck. I'm so happy to go there as a customer just knowing I don't have to put up with that bullshit anymore!
thank you for your comment. yea i could remember coming into work and seeing a cluster of a mess then right after i get it all done they would pull me away do other request and favors basically to do there work. then as i get back all the dish pile up in a bigger mess. the never ending dishes lol screw that dirty job i dont miss it for nothing.
I’ve been working for 3 months as a dishwasher in the Bay Area at a steakhouse , I work 6 days a week and 8 hours each day and I make around 820 a week. I’m only 15 and a half and I’m doing this to support my 3 younger siblings and my mother. You never will satisfy anyone , NEVER. Co workers will treat you like shit not all but some. Some can be helpful some can be bossy and rude , but don’t take that shit personal, don’t let those fuckers effect you , also I recommend to only do this job if you know you are a hard worker and a non sensitive type of person, I’m gonna leave soon and I recommend to only do this job as a last resort.
So glad I watched this before my first night of dishwashing back in December, but I'm now proud to say I've been a part time dishwasher as a 17 year old for about 4 months now. I just wish my colleagues would watch this video, they've been dishwashing for a month but still complain
What pros? their all cons been working in one for 9 months and get treated like a dog and long hours and its so depressing but its my own fault for dropping out of college and now im hopeless for a better life
yea your right what pros. restaurant jobs are all a big con and waste of time. i'm sorry you have to go threw this crap but don't let the stress make you feel hopeless because its not true. you had the will power to go to college then you have the will power to get out the kitchen and find a better job don't give up hope buddy.
Good luck mate
You still washin dishes now?
Without experience almost 3 days as a dishwasher in famous and busy restaurant. They put me Friday, Saturday and Sunday which are the most busiest days. You are right and I noticed the cons and I feel the back pain and headache. Any way the pros are huge. Let me explain
1. You gonna be humble for dishwashers across the glob
2. If you have a good Communication skill you will learn everything from cookers to the managers how restaurant operate and how to cook. Your vision and plan.
3. Once you did dishwasher job the rest are all a peace of cakes
Scary how accurate this is except for the food prep part, but yes the mats, the trash, shit even gotta deep clean the kitchen, sucks cause they have us till 1am cleaning then expect us to going in the next day at 7-8 in the morning for $8!
yea the fucker told me to come in early, im like yea bro sure, im gonna go home at midnight, paint my white picket fence, eat a slice of apple pie and then goto bed so i can wake up at 6am to "come in early".. the only thing good about my dish job is lying to this doush bag and ignoring his calls on my day off- he comes at me all... weak and lacking authority
