They were sent home before 2. No one said a thing, nor was anyone holding the station down. I saw this around 3. The next guy didn’t show up until 4, sorry Jeremy.

    That’s the stuff of Jeremy’s nightmares.

    The stacking. The horror.

  2. “Well cool, it looks like you guys still got it under control. I’m heading out, too.”

    Morning guys ? What morning guys. Kitchen managers do dishes, orders, prep, cook, schedule. Etc. I’d kill for morning guys.

    It’s all big stuff. Stack it neatly, and it will be a quarter of that height. Or run a couple things through every time you stop to take a picture and complain. Hope that helps.

    And, yes, whomever sent the dishie home should be there to help.

    It’s not that bad, but it’s stacked terribly

    I once got sent from one restaurant to another in the same city (chain) to “help them out”. I was a college kid and the other restaurant was notorious for hiring only High Schoolers. 

    I walked in and dishes and food from the morning, as early as 6:00 a.m.,  were strewn EVERYWHERE. 

    It was 10:00 p.m….

    I got paid $7.25 an hour and was there til 12:30 a.m. just doing their dishes. I don’t even know how they didn’t run out completely.

    That’s not even that bad. Nothing is stacked on the ground.

    I work in a tiny kitchen, but if you think you have a few too many dishies maybe let them figure out who one person is going to stay behind? This is a lot of dishes of course, but with one dude working pretty consistently it’s not the end of the world

    or simply let them work and make money.

    Consequently this is also the fastest way to get rid of your evening guy.

  10. There was another restaurant just down the alley from where I worked and we’d occasionally borrow stuff back and forth…

    Their day shift NEVER had a dishwasher and I’d pop into their kitchen and see dishes and pots piled up from prep and lunch service, it was crazy. All that stuff just sitting for hours. Needless to say that place churned through employees….

    I can understand the decision, but the person who decided to send the dishwasher home, should become the guy who keeps up on the dishes..

    Sales determine if management needs a dishie, not the dishes

    Sad but true

    When I worked the salad bar, we would do BOGO Mondays for lunch, and I’d get absolutely crushed every single time. I didn’t even have time to *bring* my stuff to the pit, much less wash them because they just wouldn’t ever have a dish guy on our busiest lunch shift.

    Like clockwork, I’d have to drop my cart full of pans off right as the dish guy for dinner got in with an already overflowing pit. This dishie *HATED* my guts and I’m not entirely sure I blame him. I couldn’t do anything to make him happy. Even if I had the chance to do dishes between refill runs he’d come in all pissy and I’d have to deal with him at dinner.

    Again, not his fault, management fucked that dishie bad. If you’re out there reading this, sorry about that shift and my hand in it, that was awful.

    Kitchen needs to learn how to stack. ffs

  15. Looks like they won’t have a night dish crew either leaving that kinda mess all day. That’s a clear grandpa Simpson moment if I ever saw it. Walk in hang up jacket, see mess, turn around put on jacket, walk out.

  16. redmenace777

    You guys are getting dish guys in the morning?

  17. DoubleTheDutch

    This is honestly nothing in terms of amount. It Just looks like it cause someone stacked it like a dummy. The annoying part is them not saying anything.

  18. somnavira

    I love this group so much. Y’all are the best for actually interacting ❤️

  19. Manager pulled that shit when I worked at Bob Evans. I refused to wash dishes cause it wasn’t in my job description, and left on time. Fast forward boss had to stay later cause 2nd shift called in 😂 😂

    Had an early gigbin the 1980’s, starting on a Monday.

    The dishes hadn’t been done since Saturday, lunch.

    I took one look, asked where the trash bins went and just kept walking.

  21. TheMadEscapist

    Anytime I come into work and there is stuff inside the sink that hasn’t got food scrapped off, or stacked like that. I lose my fucking mind.

    A few weeks back, one of our managers, on a busy slammed ass sunday, decided to save on labor and let the dishwasher go at 12 30 pm.
    By 2 pm,, the dish pit was a wreck.
    I got off at 4 pm, and it was still a disaster in the pit.
    As I left, the manager went “I am asking everyone to do 20 mins in the pit before they leave.”. I turned around and went “Does that include the idiot that sent the dishwasher home on a day like this?”, and walked off to my car.
    I thought for sure I was gonna get in trouble, when I came back to work, but not a word was said to me.

    Let’s try to save on labor by cutting the least paid most worked person in the kitchen

    Jeremy outside smoking it up. He’ll be ok. Just give him a few minutes.

    Worked at a Chicago hotel that pulled this constantly. Low on the list of reasons I quit 😬
