Things I've learned as a casino dishwasher
Yes these dishes are clean even with the particles on it, as long as it can be wiped off without struggle it's clean
THE MACHINE IS HOT DON'T TOUCH IT
THE SANITIZER IS EVEN FUCKIN HOTTER DON'T BE LIKE ME AND STICK YOUR WHOLE HAND IN IT WITHOUT FUCKIN THINKING
THOSE METAL PANS? YEAH FUCKIN 180 DEGREES DON'T TOUCH THEM STRAIGHT OUT OF THE MACHINE SHITLORD
THOSE PLATES? ABSOLUTELY BURNING HOT BUT IF YOU STACK THEM FAST ENOUGH YOU CAN GET THEM OUT TO THE BUFFET
Stacking two or more tiny square plates at a time makes the most satisfying noise
FUCK PANS
AND POTS TOO
Those square bins ain't not coming clean the first time
Don't be afraid to return dirty dishes back to the main part of the dish pit
LEXONS ARE ALWAYS FULL OF STEAM AND READY TO FUCK WITH YOUR VISION
The machine says clean every two hours but more likely than not it'll be every four BECAUSE EVERYONE IS YELLING AT YOU TO HAVE THEIR SHIT CLEAN
Everyone is your boss
You're their boss too
"Don't like the way I'm doing the dishes?? Come do it yourself"
Separating silverware is so fun when you're trying to pass time
DON'T LET THE LINE STOP. EVER. PEOPLE WILL HATE YOU IF YOU'RE THE REASON DISHES AREN'T BEING SENT THROUGH THE WASHER. IT STOPS?? YOU AREN'T MOVING FAST ENOUGH
Servers are one of two things : fake as hell and really fuckin awful or really helpful
Most servers are the first
Everyone is a backseat dishwasher I s2g
They're just trying to help tho, so don't be mean
Ask questions. I never stop asking, no one ever gets mad or tells me to figure it out.
These kitchen folk will become a second family
You will begin to disassociate and do weird shit and get hurt. Just tonight I looked at metal pans, thought hmm looks hot and then grabbed on to it as well as hmm that fork is pointy and jabbed myself
Jesus buy lotion you're constantly having wet ass hands
THE HOTLINE IS TERRIFYING
"Put those pans there" YOU WANT ME?? TO LEAN MY 5'4&3/4" ASS OVER AND DANGLE MY TORSO OVER THE OPEN FLAME??
DON'T YOU GO IN THAT LINE WHEN THE RESTAURANTS ARE OPEN
WHERE DO THESE GO???
HELLO YES DO YOU KNOW WHERE THESE GO?? "Hmm they were over there, but now they go over here"
A MAZE THATS ALWAYS CHANGING
People will see you in a kitchen uniform and assume things. Tonight I got off my shift and as soon as I walked out someone asked me to go in there and get them sugar for their coffee. I was so late getting outside my papa thought I was kidnapped and was talking to casino security
WHERE IS MY COWORKER NOW??? DID THEY LEAVE OR ARE THEY PUTTING SHIT AWAY
IS THAT MASH POTATOES OR DISHWASHER FOAM??
HORSERADISH OR PANCAKE BATTER???
Don't you send chocolate cake through that washer DON'T YOU DO IT
IT WILL GET ON EVERY DISH THAT COMES THROUGH AFTER
I'll add more as I learn, this is more a list for me and for people to get an idea of what you can expect
