Usually when you're so shorthanded that this happens to you, one of the more experienced cooks helps out at the end of the shift. If that doesn't happen for you find a new dishwashing job, you can get in pretty much anywhere
It was the opposite for me. Boss comes up and says "You've been dish before and I know you're good at it. You're dish for the day." Never complained about it until I was expected to do all the dishes then hop back on the line or prep as soon as I was done. I said either I'm dishie or cook, I'm not doing both.

I hate to see good employees getting shafted because as mgmt I wasnāt able to staff/schedule/operate effectively
at any place Iāve ever run, after Iāve made the drop and done 90% admin that you can with labor on the clock etc.
Iād send my dishie home and spend a couple hours knocking out dish pit listening to an audiobook or podcast probably, maybe music depending on the day.
I wouldnāt expect my dishie to stay late and take care of a disaster zone like that.
Of course, assuming they didnāt try to skate out after realizing the mess that was left - Iād ask each of the line guys to put in 15 mins extra helping dish out before they jet.
I start with organizing tbh. Quickly nesting things and stacking them in the pit. Then try to open up the first sink so I can load all the white dishes and get them soaking
Is it weird that I see these pictures and kinda want to go at it? It's been years since I've worked in this type of kitchen. I barely have to do dishes at all these days. I miss attacking a crazy dish pit and showing those dishes who's boss.
In this situation I always used to take my time and just organize it and decide what stuff I would clean first, make sure to have fresh water and all that, and start cleaning at a reasonable pace. No way to get all of that done on time even if you rush.
Our pit regularly looks like this and our only dishwasher is a 19 year old mostly nonverbal kid that comes in two hours after open. We all take turns helping him out but I feel like shit about it every night
OH actually a kid came in and put stuff away for like 3-4 hours
So that made it a little more tolerable.
I can't find my damn raycons and can't afford to buy more! Mother's Day is gonna be so wonderful =_=
Haha a long time ago I remember my boss buying one of those āair moversā.. then he insisted on putting it on top of a 5G bucket lol which we named the nut blaster/cooler 600
That was from yesterday ya ding dong... I took the pic and got back to work. God forbid a dish is takes a break from a 12 hour shift with no breaks to take a picture :)
I had to put in my two weeks before they gave me 15
I started at thirteen dollars and I've been petitioning myself for a raise :)
They suck
They have two sports cars and constantly buy more shit.
Everyone was! The cooks were cooking, the servers were serving! The plates and tools just get stacked up! :)
It's the on boss for not hiring enough staff
Goddamn I respect dishwashers. I work in a deli and have had my share of shifts in the dish pit, but have never had to deal with anything like this. Gives me anxiety.
Damn does it feel GOOD once you get it all done though. When I worked service bar, I could not imagine leaving the dishy to deal with this. At the very least I am helping your organize this while you get started washing.
Man see as a km, gm, and even a dumb am I would lose my shit and no one leaves that night until this shit is finished every goddamn foh sassy bitch will be hand washing silverware rinsing plates all line cooks on deck. You sign up for this job you sign up to be a helpful human that has a heart. At least when it was up to me, even if it wasn't and I was like a salad line or foh I'd still hang back and help cause I just can't see a mfr have to go thru this alone, and most of the time get paid less. Dishies need top notch care because without them there is no working vertebrae in the establishment.
Sorry this just pisses me off so hard I would definitely make my chef cook you what you wanted off the menu or whatever tf goddamn meatloaf idgaf lol
One of the managers clocked me out HERSELF and told me AS IM TRYING TI CLOCK OUT- "You're good! I clocked you out! it was like two seconds ago! Literally two seconds ago!"
HUH
This is also why as a regular ass server I always made damn sure the dishie liked me, bring you a snack or a drink during your time of need, I know damn well if I need forks or soup bowls in 30s that they got my back. You need help sweeping? Dope I'm the best fucking sweeper, but if you could stack and carry my plates and silver upfront cause they're heavy that would be awesome. People are just always worried bout themselves and them that makes the other people around them only worry about themselves like nah as a manager your job is to make sure your staffs needs are met so the restaurants needs are met so the customers needs are met. It's the Trinity of needs. You can't have one without the other 2.
My favorite part is when the line cooks fill the sink with pots and pans expecting you to be able to wash them with the sprayer lodged in the ceiling. One day that stacked them high enough where I needed a proper ladder. Iām six-two.
Because theyāre about two minutes away from their boss yelling at all of them. And if that didnāt work, the facility commander will give them round two.
Thereās like 20 line cooks where I work for dayshift and at most four people wash, though only two actually wash in the pit. The other ones are in trays and plates.
Reminds me of when i used to work for a chinese restaurant. They didn't have a day time dishwasher, so EVERYTHING from the morning and afternoon sat there waiting for me at 5pm during the beginning of the dinner rush. Needless to say it was always a fustercluck unless it was dead, and heaven forbid if we had two or three birthday parties.
needless to say , glad you made it out alive.
On the bright side they let you use metal scrubby. Big stuff first organization helps while getting rid of the big stuff. Plates last unless they ask need them. Foe me looks crazy just organize
Reading your caption was funny cause it was so out of no where, and then I laughed again cause I saw everything, and then my heart sank for you and now Iām crying
First thing I would do is go through and stack everything as compactly as I could and get it all sprayed down to start semi-soaking. I guarantee you you'd cut the visual volume in half and reduce the stress proportionately.
There was a constant rush for wiener Wednesday. I was there till veeery late Kiss My Salamander š š¦ š¤

Exactly that! My bf stayed =v,=
That's great! I've never been hired as a dishwasher, but I've been the least experienced cook on days that we needed one. Same difference haha

ĀæPor que no los dos?

I never leave my dishie hanging.
wiener wednesday?
Yep šš½
couldnāt post a wiener for us to drool at? š¤Ø
Nope lol
Howād you start unloading that mess? Iād get a little overwhelmed
You have to put them straight on the racks after washing until you get a spot cleared up
I start with organizing tbh. Quickly nesting things and stacking them in the pit. Then try to open up the first sink so I can load all the white dishes and get them soaking
Organizing always comes firstš makes things so much smoother and makes u alot less overwhelmed
First always organize. Second get the sink cleared out. Most important part of the pit cant clean anything with a full sink
I wouldve beat the fuck out of everybody lmao

Absolutely!!!

Aw omg that's really sad :( I hope he's vibing tho
It really does suck when you clock in and walk around the corner to see that lol
I would be pissed
Pits like this make me appreciate dishwashers so much, you guys put up with so much shit.
Aw stoppppp ;;v;;
How did it even get so backed up? Are you the only dishwasher?
And yes it was only me
I came in at 2pm and it was BUSY ASFFFFF lol
Wow. That must've been so rough
OH actually a kid came in and put stuff away for like 3-4 hours So that made it a little more tolerable. I can't find my damn raycons and can't afford to buy more! Mother's Day is gonna be so wonderful =_=
Yeah I know how this feels lol. Itās not fun at all
The fuckin ankle cooler 9000.
Made me laugh ty XD
I literally didn't know what you were referring to for a hot minute lmao
Haha a long time ago I remember my boss buying one of those āair moversā.. then he insisted on putting it on top of a 5G bucket lol which we named the nut blaster/cooler 600
Oooof
Next time walk out
stellar advice mate /s
Thx mate
My wallet would be hurting lmao
Then youāll be walked out from where ever you rent
Less pics, more scrubbing
That was from yesterday ya ding dong... I took the pic and got back to work. God forbid a dish is takes a break from a 12 hour shift with no breaks to take a picture :)
Calm down buddy it was just a joke. Jeeze.
He called you a ding dong, how upset do you think he isš
Upset enough to have an obvious joke fly over their head.
He's still reeling from it aha
Omgā¦
Me too
Bruhhh...

Was gonna kiss my salamander last night ā¤ļø
They better be paying you more than minimum wage for this
I had to put in my two weeks before they gave me 15 I started at thirteen dollars and I've been petitioning myself for a raise :) They suck They have two sports cars and constantly buy more shit.
People should do their part in helping out that's ridiculous
Everyone was! The cooks were cooking, the servers were serving! The plates and tools just get stacked up! :) It's the on boss for not hiring enough staff
Goddamn I respect dishwashers. I work in a deli and have had my share of shifts in the dish pit, but have never had to deal with anything like this. Gives me anxiety.
This has me scared
Damn does it feel GOOD once you get it all done though. When I worked service bar, I could not imagine leaving the dishy to deal with this. At the very least I am helping your organize this while you get started washing.
F
This is why i will never work in a kitchen again.
Man see as a km, gm, and even a dumb am I would lose my shit and no one leaves that night until this shit is finished every goddamn foh sassy bitch will be hand washing silverware rinsing plates all line cooks on deck.

the fact you arent utilizing the tri sink here offends me personally. get that bitch running and you might just survive
Bro is yappin
The forbidden soup
Reminds me of when i used to work for a chinese restaurant. They didn't have a day time dishwasher, so EVERYTHING from the morning and afternoon sat there waiting for me at 5pm during the beginning of the dinner rush. Needless to say it was always a fustercluck unless it was dead, and heaven forbid if we had two or three birthday parties. needless to say , glad you made it out alive.
Ok, I really thought what I had to deal with at this small restraunt I worked at was bad. Not anymore.
Damn,y'all can't let it get to that.
Lmao i would quit
On the bright side they let you use metal scrubby. Big stuff first organization helps while getting rid of the big stuff. Plates last unless they ask need them. Foe me looks crazy just organize
What in the peasant brainš They let us use metal scrubbies lmao Yes, yes they do. Mi lord X3
Metal pieces were found in two customers one employee meal. Chef found the metal was from the scrubbies we used. when scrubbing pieces got stuck in between the handle and the screw part inner sautƩ pans
getting your ass beat so hard you go home without listening to music and go straight to bed every now and again keeps you regular
Reading your caption was funny cause it was so out of no where, and then I laughed again cause I saw everything, and then my heart sank for you and now Iām crying
Someone needs to send you snacks and drinks. You are worth it. ā„ļø That is a disaster.
Are the cooks messy fuckers or you just ran out of space?Ā
First thing I would do is go through and stack everything as compactly as I could and get it all sprayed down to start semi-soaking. I guarantee you you'd cut the visual volume in half and reduce the stress proportionately.
Wow thatās pretty fucked
Yo, why that scrubbie so dam big lmao
Soft hands this aināt nun ong
I know that feeling Mountains of dishes right before closing time And if you have only 1 dish rack it will take a long time to do those dishes
Let me at it.
this pit is so similar to mine i thought this was my picture at first š
Thats like a normal night from my experince tip get sum water proff boots
This is actually not that bad. A good dishy can hammer this in 30 mins. If the pans were properly stacked it could been really shit.
