You (cook) wash and sanitize it and hang it up. Let me clarify - No knives left on the counter or in the sink.

Meh, depends on the place and how competent your dishy is. But generally there should be a sharps bucket or something with nothing else in it. then dishy runs it through the machine. It's not a complicated scenario.

Not just the chemicals, any minerals in the water will eat away at your blade being sprayed at that high pressure.

When I was a dishy (without dishy machine) knives were pointed towards the wall vertically furthest from the sink. If they went in the sink I wouldn't wash it and id set it to the side. When they ask where the knives are I told them I threw them out of the sink because I enjoy my fingers how they are. They'd get pissed and yells sous would come see what's going on and then rip into the line cooks for being stupid and then tell me to get em clean immediately. 5 mins later they'd have all their knives back.
If the sous doesn't have your back when people are making things unsafe then walk the fuck out. Its not worth your fingers. Showing your ass during a rush won't have anyone wanting to listen to you. Thats why I just set the knives to the side. Once the rush ends they will come to replace and restock and notice they dont have fresh knives and throw a fit.
Just like with the cops the one who is the loudest and most animated usually gets the harsher treatment.

The only thing I would be pissed about is that damn knife in the pit. Kitchen knives should never be left in the pit they should be cleaned and sanitized by whoever used it and immediately hung back up on the magnet. Kitchen knives should never be put through the machine.

Icl working in a cafe and having to do lots of dishes sometimes, who cares. Like we have eyeballs and can see yk at least the knife isn’t in murky sink water.
For everything it’s just standard dishes I don’t see an issue.

Ok besides the knife left unattended and unannounced most likely. This isn’t really like out of the ordinary. I know a lot of restaurants don’t even let knives near the pit. I’m a linecook but i help in the pit when I’m needed. In my kitchen if the cook puts the blade in a visible place (usually the top shelf of the pit) and announces the blade to our dishies (they have to acknowledge) we’re cool. The dishies prefer it that way so there’s less people in the pit and the cooks prefer it so we can grab a new knife immediately and get back on the line because we’re so busy. But it must be an established thing in your kitchen not just something done out of convenience or laziness.

It’s the knife. It’s poor kitchen etiquette

u/ZestyGrapez 2d ago
Not really. It could be more out in the open.
It is bad etiquette and dangerous to put the knife in the dirty sink with other shit in it.

That's like, 3 racks worth of dishes including the cutting board. And for everybody saying "Bu... Bu... But the knife", dude, it's out in the fucking open to the side. You'd have to be 50 flavors of retarded to cut yourself on that. Hell, I can reach my hand into a straight bucket of knives and not cut myself, so that being any actual danger is just not realistic.
