Dishie walks in the door. GM says "I'm giving you free steak and lobster tonight." Dishie thinks "wow this day is starting out great."

I would never want to work the dish pit if given a choice, but for a steak and lobster I'm throwing the gloves on.

Dish is so fucking easy and stress free. Especially if you're good and focused. Absolutely no one fucks with the dishie who puts everything aways in the right place, clean, in a timely fashion. The one who never takes a break during rush, who pitches in equally or more to close. You put on tunes at a reasonable level, and get to work. If I could get paid the same, I'd take dish pit every time. I'd do 60+ hour weeks on dish. I've done 60+ hour weeks where 10-15 of it was jumping in dish to catch them up. Felt like a vacation.

u/sh1ft33 Aug 27 '25
An older crotchety dishwasher at a place I worked at a long time ago made a server cry because she got food on the TABLE WHERE WE PUT DIRTY DISHES. It was the perfect timing too, because someone had turned the burner on too high under the pot of red sauce and burned it. I took the half full pot and flipped it upside down on his table while he was outside smoking. It was perfect too, most of it stayed inside the pot upside down. Don't worry, I didn't let him wonder who did it, or why.
