got hired as a dishwasher on friday and quit today. that is probably the most mindless and soul sucking job ive ever worked. same goes for bussers, servers, cooks, how the fuck do people willingly work those shit jobs considering the hours, the pay, and the workload? i honestly don't feel inclined to eat at restaurants much more...
>>
>>8678676
Bartender>>server>>>>>>>>>>host>>>barback>cook>>prep cook>>>>dishwasher>busboy

t. worked many restraurant jobs. Bussers are literally seen as subhumans at least dishwashers can hide and listen to music bussers have to interact with people but only make a fraction of what servers make
>>
>>8678676

Definitely depends on the job and even then it's not for everybody. I'm the bar manager at a fine dining place and I love it. Money's solid too

as a dishwasher i was able to listen to audiobooks, but the caveat is staying 3 hours after closing with a huge fucking pile of dishes

spoken like a true foh snob


bartender > server > host > management > bus > cooks > preps > dishwasher

busboys at least get tipshare.

I worked in a prep kitchen before. It was okay. Shit pay and not enough hours but I had fun most days. The problem is foh is competely delusional with how much better they have it.

Would hate to be a dishwasher though.
>>
>>8678735
>busboys at least get tipshare
We get the scraps and in alot of these places we barely break minimum wage while the servers walk home with 200 bucks after having the runner and bussers do most of the work. Facts
>>
>>8678777
well if you're in a real state that pays its foh less than min. wage that's different.

where i live foh gets minimum wage + extra to be competitive + tips

People only do it because management promises if they do it for x amount of months they will be promoted to server but it never fucking happeneds. Its basically bait for ugly guys and ill eagles

I was a busboy for a few months back when I was younger. I really hate being around people and making small talk to coworkers, so it was a nightmare, especially when we were slow. I just stopped showing up one day

>>8678697

I bussed in high school and first year of college. Wasn't that bad. I'm kind of a splerg so I had no patience dealing with customers/managers/bartenders/cooks. As a busser you just cleaned tables. Some nights I made more than servers because you would help the bar out for an extra hour and get some good $.

>>8679042
>Lol bullshit.

Uh, no stupid. If a servers made lets say $100, I would make around $70. And if the bar was busy and the bartender asked you to help out, they would throw you anywhere from $40 to $60 (depending on the bartender).
>>
>>8679061
Where did you work? Last place where i was i made 50 a night on average and the servers made 200-300 depending
>>
>>8679077

This was back in '99 to around '04, but it was a just your typical bar/pub restaurant. $100 for a server was a "typical" night, but they made around $150 to $200 on Fri, Sat, and Sunday.

And as I said, the bar put the busser over the top on some nights. Normally it used to be 2 (on weekends 3) lazy bitches behind the bar and technically it was there job to restock all the beers and move kegs into the cooler at the end of their shift. But as I said they were fucking lazy so they had no problem giving the busser $20 to $30 each to do all this shit (took about an hour tops). So sometimes you'd make $90 for an hours worth of work, on top of your regular floor pay as a busser.
>>
>>8679057
im not a wagecuck. im about to transfer to a top tier uni through working at good grades. ive also held other jobs prior to dishwashing. my dad, who is a business owner himself, congratulated me on quitting, as he too realized how shit the job was.
>>
>>8678735
this
The bartenders always make the most. They gotta do quite a bit of work depending on the bar, but the tips you get from drunks are always super good.
Servers and host are rolling in a decent amount of cash too for the small amount of work they do. serving people is hard when you first get started, but after a couple of days to a week anybody can be a competent server provided they lack autism
Management at a lot of the restaurants I've worked at had pretty good salaries but had to do a lot of tedious shitty work, but nothing compared to BOH
Bus boys get tips too so they are still leagues above the BOH as far as I'm concerned
Cooks & prep cooks often don't make much more than minimum wage and sweat behind the line for a nice 10-12 hours and then clock out to clean so they don't cost the restaurant overtime
Dishwashers at most places make like 3 bucks an hour so they can send their family in mexico money. I've never seen a white dishwasher except for when a spic got fired and we had to do dishes off the clock ourselves

I'm a barback right now.

I absolutely hate it but they keep bartending in front of me like a carrot on a stick. I might quit soon.

How much do the bartenders make a night where you work?
>>
>>8679144
They do that with bussers do. Which is funny because most servers i talk to are women or chads that never had to bus before serving

>>
>>8679151
A lot. I don't know how much they take home on a nightly basis but their base salary is lower than ours because they make a killing in tips. Once I factor in tips I typically make about 15 bucks an hour. So the Bartenders are rolling in it.

One of the barbacks worked out in the prairies during the oilboom and he said one of the bartenders was making the same amount of money as he was, which is a lot.

>>8679153
Yeah it pisses me off, and I know for a fact if one of the servers asked to be a bartender they'd just give it to her no questions asked while I bust my ass and get zero respect.
>>
>>8679158
Dunno about that. I make 6 figures as a software dev and I've quit plenty of jobs just because I could. The idea that spending your free time watching the clock for a few bucks builds character is complete bs.

This. A job worth doing is a job worth doing well. It's a very important job, and can make or break a restaurant, if dishes are amazingly clean, cookware always ready. I eat anywhere once, but where I notice the dishes or silverware aren't squeaky clean, and can't be replaced with clean options, I'm never going back. This is a back breaking job, likely, because I don't love doing dishes at home, so if you are out of shape in the gut it'd be worse, but it doesn't require a brain, good looks, charisma, or anything a fresh immigrant might not manage front of house. A loner who wants to be left alone, headphones on, just there for his paycheck might even enjoy it. I have done dishes in a laboratory, as part of my daily job, drilled out metal memory in machines with a long handled drill bit, smelled sulphurous gas, gotten molten burns from liquid nitrogen, lithium carbide, and had charcoal lung much like a miner would. Not all jobs are "dirty jobs" for high pay, but I don't think some jobs are meant to be careers. It could certainly be a proving ground for kitchen staffers, maybe even a rotation duty just to ensure cross-training.
>>
>>8679172
It's really obvious you have no idea how the world works, because you lack any character whatsoever.

>>8679180
Again, zero character. Being able to walk into any job you don't deem beneath you only gives you a false sense of security and lack of understanding. You have lack of values.

>A lot.

Gotcha, but "a lot" varies. One of the bartenders at a place I go to says he makes around $300 on a good night. Whereas at another place where a friend of mine works (a few miles away) they make $400-$500 on a good night.

>Yeah it pisses me off, and I know for a fact if one of the servers asked to be a bartender they'd just give it to her no questions asked while I bust my ass and get zero respect.
Owners/management will almost always put a girl behind the bar before a guy, just the way it is. One thing you can do is to try and learn the drinks (if you don't already) and most importantly learn the POS system. Servers already know the system so in the owners mind it's a natural transition. You should try and grab a couple of server shifts for the sole purpose of learning the computer.

Yeah, thats why I said I don't know.

I know most of the drinks and I have two bartending certificates. I can't get a server shift because it isn't run that way.

I only wanted to bartend because it seemed like a good way to make money while I'm in school, but honestly I'm so sick of bars I don't really care anymore.

>>8679197
You can't be serious, you really think you can judge someone based on whether they've quit some jobs in the past. The whole point of shit jobs is that they aren't permanent

>I can't get a server shift because it isn't run that way.

? You mean if you went to the manager and said "can I have a server shift?" they would say "no"? Why?

Well there's a plethora of reasons, but the big one is they only let girls serve.

No, but I can judge someone who walks out of a shit job just because "wahhhh, I don't like it" when they don't have anything else already in line.

I work as a customer service rep/sticker poster/pizza cutter for Dominos. Senior in high school. I've made $7.25 an hour for a year with the promise of getting a raise once I learn how to make pizzas. The thing is, I now know how to make pizzas and do it regularly, but they prefer to have me up front answering phones when I've been here all this time and they won't give me a raise. It's really infuriating

I work as a line cook, it's bitch work slave labor for $9 an hour but with the right coworkers, everything flows effortlessly and work doesn't feel like work when we're all helping eachother.

Also the head chef lets us load up on food, anything I want all day every day. Still don't like the job because the majority of coworkers are fucksticks that can't put in real work without crying.

Working as a line cook with being bros with the bartender makes for easy shifts. I always treat bussers and dishwashers with respect, most underrated niggas in the building desu.

Got a really nice job offer from someone I used to train, way better hours, benefits and pay is retard good.

This. You develop a sense of camaraderie cooking through dinner rushes with your bros, then when the shift is over knock back a few drinks with em. The weak will weed themselves out, and you become part of an indispensable team. The suffering is strangely satisfying if you're suffering together.
>>
>>8678676
Yes, I do a little bit with food like prep, make pastries, carve meat, GM, etc.. But mainly wash dishes and clean the kitchen up. Pretty much whatever the chefs and cooks don't wanna do. Not bad pay for an as needed employee. I work as much as a part time. I like my job there until I get through college. Working in a hot kitchen builds character and teaches you how to work well under pressure. Especially if you work in a ritzy place where everything needs to be perfect all the time. And Anon, good luck at your job. You will do well and just stick through it for now and don't be a pussy. I know an old man who washed dishes at the same place for 9 fucking years.

You really have to need the money to stick with dishwashing. I did it for awhile and when it became clear I wasn't getting moved to cook I quit with zero notice. Went on to learn semi fine dining and it was hard as fuck for awhile
But once you learn the station and how to work quickly and cleanly with a knife you're golden.

I watch YouTube videos of famous cooks doing normal knife work and the comments are full of people being amazed and impressed by their knife skills and I'm sitting there going nigga you need to learn that shit of you want to have any success as a line cook or even just doing straight prep work. Once you figure out how to prep 6 hrs of work in 3 hours you're golden. It takes a special kind of person to cook and you obviously weren't cut out for it, don't blame yourself. I just really wanted to learn how to cook. But I knew the whole time it was way too much work for shit pay. But the techniques, knife skills, and recipies i learned are invaluable. I'm a much better cook than any of the hacks that post here lol. That idiot doing the sous vide rib steak yesterday re affirmed my belief most people know fuck all about cooking. I can make An amazing meal out of $5 of vegetables and a variety of spices that would be far more rewarding to cook and eat than any idiot with a $40 steak. Learning to cook removes that illusion that money = good food. The best meals I've ever had have been at hole in the wall restaraunts versus high end places I've worked at.


It's also mad bullsht how inept servers make far more than kitchen staff. It's so backwards. I fuckin hate stupid servers. They let the food go cold, fuck up orders and the kitchen gets blamed

I know right? I've washed dishes and cooked and I don't look down on anyone for quitting a dishwashing job. Especially at some ragtag kitchens with poor setups. It's a hard, dirty, stinky job, but I wanted to eventually be a line cook
And I enjoyed
Just doing my own thing


One thing that bothered me
The most though was when the cooks (who weren't even that great of cooks, I later learned when I became a good cook myself) would treat me bad and not make me good food to eat. Like, I'm busting my ass washing dishes and cleaning up servers lazy crap (learn to stack dishes morons) and the Damn cooks can't throw a fucking burger or cheaper steak on the grill for me when it slows down? Shit pissed me off sometimes. Or once I came in and some passive aggressive fsggot during the day had found a dirty pan that was put back (by a cook that hopped in pit while I was cleaning the bathroom!!!) with a "what the fuck is this this is bullshit!!" Sign posted to it. Instead of simply washing it and telling me to be more Careful some daytime prick chose to insult me and degrade me.


The funniest part is they all treated me like a clueless underclass when i worked
Dish, i got sick of their shit and quit, got hired to cook at a high end golf club and then moved onto better menus and became a better cook than those morons were

They all went to culinary achool too lol. I learned more than you would
Working 6 months at my first cooking gig than those idiots did in two years of school.
For anyone thinking of culinary school, don't. Save the money. Start from
The bottom in as kitchen as dish at a place with a good menu and competent chef who LOVES food and treats ingredients with respect, and work fast, in slow times help prep basics, try to pick up a shift here and there doing salads and prep, and eventually a spot doing full time prep will open up. Then learn all the recipies and how to work quickly and safely with a good knife

>>8681429
Eventually someone will Be sick or miss a shift or need your help on line dual action on one station...show them what you are capabale of.

When all is said and done, if you don't absolutely respect and adore food and value quality ingredients and especially if you have a garbage palate and eat trash junk food all day, don't bother.
I've worked with so many people who only cooked because it's an easily attainable job with a bad employment
Or criminal record. These
Ppl were the worst fucksticks...

I am reminded so much of the cooks that I worked with and under at shitty pubs who would talk down to me and test me like an idiot ..

I walked out during dinner rush at this trash but popular pub because the cunt ordering me around on the station wnates me to wash off with water the wrong deep fried rib lung BBQ sauce and refry it and put the correct
Sauce on it. I said that's disgusting I'll just make a new one and she said that's not how we do it here; the realization of the low standards of the place
Fully dawned on me at that point and I walked out

They all thought I was an idiot cuz I didn't know how to make their shitty food yet I went on to work at much more quality places. Imagine going from doing deep fried garbage appies & garbage tier vacuum sealed steaks to a place
That got daily
Deliveries of organic heirloom produce, big sides of AAA beef we would have to trim and chop into steaks, handmade salsas and etc. I learned so much after that

I was a dishwasher at OCB, IHOP, and a smaller local chain.

>I've made $7.25 an hour for a year with the promise of getting a raise

I don't mean to come off sounding like a dick, but are wages really so low in the U.S? In Canada, the minimum wage is at least $10/hr in every province and territory, with some places being higher that $10. Granted, the cost of living is a bit higher here, but the thought of being paid $7.25/hr somewhat chills my bones.
>>
I used to work as a line cook at a local restaurant. I'd wash dishes when necessary, but otherwise we'd hire high school boys to be dishwashers and high school girls to be bussers. Made for an awkward hormonal situation.

But we had a pretty well-oiled machine. I learned a helluva lot about cooking during my time there (little previous experience) and I enjoyed the comraderie.

Now I'm a white collar professional, but I still look back on my time there fondly.

Line cook is AIDS and the hours suck. Front of house is where the money is at for starters. If you want to cook, you must start as a line cook and slowly climb the ladder. However, dishwashers get nowhere. Don't be one.

I did dishwashing for about 10 months before finding an actual job. Got paid $12/hr and the work was pretty damn easy, was during sort of an off-season in activity though. Only issue was being a bit stinky back there, but oh well. There's nothing difficult about monotonous labor work, especially with music blaring all night.

>Cooks & prep cooks often don't make much more than minimum wage and sweat behind the line for a nice 10-12 hours and then clock out to clean so they don't cost the restaurant overtime

I'm sous chef and a coke addicted college dropout with agoraphobia that I deal with by doing coke and cooking because I love both. Chef de cuisine did fifteen years for human trafficking, covered in peckerwood ink but found Jesus and now he never swears. It's a pretty fancy place.

There's nothing wrong with hard work, but for some strange reason you didn't spend the rest of your life washing dishes
these entry level, low-skill jobs are generally done by specific kinds of people in particular situations in their lives
That's sort of the answer to the question 'How can people do this shit work?' anyway.
As an introduction to the workforce which demonstrates to your next stepping stone that you can show up on time and roll your sleeves up, but generally it's because it's low-skill work easy to get into which can look real seductive when the bills are piling up.

Working in the industry made me want to kill myself. For years I wanted to be a cook. Worked in shitty restaurants as a kid, washing dishes, and whatever else I could get hired for, eventually landed myself a job as a line cook, and it just sucked my fucking soul away.

Luckily I realized it wasn't for me early into my career. After leaving that job I took a job in a plant nursery getting payed more for 1/100th of the stress, and my eyes were opened to how shitty life is in a kitchen. 24 now and I'm just finishing my bachelors. I love cooking, but I'll never work in restaurant ever again. Shit sucks.
>>
>>8685203
a dishwashing mcjob isn't "a move to improve your life." it's drudgery that doesn't leave you meaningfully better off than if you were scrounging off benefits, and has negative resume value for any job actually worth having (such as the sweet public sector union job i have, which is giving me a paid snow day today).
"cuck" is a popular term because it names a real pattern of postmodern dysfunction in which the desire to "be good" aggresses against a person's basic self-defense instincts. if you take pride in washing someone else's filth off a plate for barely enough money to keep yourself in a rat trap apartment living off food stamps, you're a prisoner of ideology.

At a japanese place

The dishes there are a fucking soul grinder. On a busy day you will come to hate humanity with a white hot intensity after you scrape out your 50th completely full veggie tempura bowl

I've bitched about this in other threads, but it drives me absolutely insane when faggots order these meals and don't eat any of it

If there's one good thing, dishes in any other situation are a walk in the park now in comparison. Got that perspective

>>8683357
This. The work is not physically intensive, but it's basically a hundred headed beast

>Dishes from the actual food served
>Silverware
>Teacups, tea plates, sauce dishes and those tiny sake decanters and shot glasses
>regular drinking glasses
>The trays all of the food gets handed out on
>Jap food so every bowl has to have a smaller bowl on top as a presentation lid
>Literally everything the kitchen itself uses

These things get put in separate spots, some have to be carried up to the front, some have to be loaded up in a tub and put on a shelf some ways from the dish pit

Everything has to be washed/scraped out and put in a sanitizer and then unloaded and put back where they're needed

If you're doing food orders, at least there's the other cooks to divide up the tasks among. If you're in dishes, you're on your fucking own

If you can't multitask like a fucking machine, while you're working on three different things, the other four will start piling up and then you get the fucking calls from every direction

>More utensils!
>More glasses!
>More Lids
>Ay anon wash this fucking bucket lined with food grade tar

>drop down glasses out of my reach so I have to stretch armstrong like a motherfucker

>all but fucking throw stacks of dishes without hardly looking to see where they're putting them down.

When you have multiple plates or bowls, or an entire stack fall over and spill everywhere because the asshat dropped it at a fucking 45 degree angle, you start to judge the pros and cons of being convicted of a crime of passion

>the receptacle for utensils is closer to the front of house than it is to me, but they almost never take out forks or whatever themselves, and I have to once again pick them out and reach like an idiot to put them in

>There's specifically a raised shelf for the glasses to be put on to separate them from the incoming dishes, but motherfuckers will just crowd them in with everything else

And nothing singes my sphincter more than when they come to the window and ask where their washed forks are while I'm elbow deep in rice and peanut sauce and they were just a moment before standing around up front talking

/blog

Phew, needed that vent

Seriously though, if you go into a kitchen to be a cook and they try to stick you to dishwork only, fuck outta there. You won't be doing yourself any favors if you don't put your foot down and push to do the work they offered you to do
>>
>>8678697
server = bartender > hosts = cook (usually same pay counting host tips) > prep > busser/foodrunner > dishwasher

washing dishes is backbreaking labor at the lowest form, I made more money bussing tables than a dishwasher could possibly make at my job

then again bussing/foodrunning relies on tipouts from servers (1.5% of sales) and the bartender also has to wait tables to make money, but they get 1% of tipout

my job is also fucking shit and understaffed but I can make $150 a night waiting tables with minimal effort so whatever

dude fucking quit, find another dishkekking job somewhere else, i learned this the hard way too, always pick a dishkekking job at a place that serves food that isn't deep fried or uses extremely thick, cakey ingredients. you have to engineer your choices in this matter.
I worked at this japanese restaurant as a dishkekker and i was expected to wash dishes by HAND in a ONE COMPARTMENT sink, before this i was expected to mop the ENTIRE restaurant with literally boiled water that i had to do myself while mixing a bunch of fucking soap and chemicals into the boiling water all in a tiny stoneage kitchen, then i was expected to sweep the entrance way and hose the sidewalk off.
there was a bilingual japanese fellow with glasses who seemed very americanized who helped me learn how to do all of these things in what i deem the japanese way. he was never overtly rude to me once but the head chef / manager was a fucking freak.
I was basically a neet applying to anything i could deem entry level on craigslist so i thought a japanese place would be cool, but no. i realised just then how frail and weak my body was, i have never been so exhausted in my life up until then. part 1/2
>>
>>8692584
part 2/2
the environment was extremely fucking astringent and grim, i got fired after the first two hours because once i finally got to the dishwashing there was so many fucking small little aluminum tin things with left over sticky as FUCK sauce (i think it may have been the peanut stuff you were talking about now) that took FOREVER to get off, the head chef told me in the most broken english ''you go faster!" and i was like uh ok.
I try my darndest to go faster but he just comes and gets fed up with me and does one plastic container in the most unthorough and unhygienic fashion i've ever seen and proceeds to put it in the clean section.
I am stunned and all the more confused by what just happened so i'm trying to get back to work and he just says something, apparently it's directed towards me and i face him and ask ''what?'' he says it again but this time in somehow even more broken english and the dude who was helping me along says to me ''uh... he wants you to clock out.''. i do this hesitantly and the head chef dude says ''forro me...'' he looks visibly irate and i cannot even begin to comprehend why as the restaurant has not even opened yet, eta two hours till it opens officialy fyi. he goes in his small office and hands me a small envelope and says ''four hour pay, you finish.'' i take it and say thank you and leave, only to sit outside on the stoop of an apartment building trying to collect my thoughts and understand what just happened. that experience has single handedly changed my opinion of japanese people and i understand what people mean when they talk about the ''sick and twisted'' work ethic that they have.
fucking christ, what's wrong with them?
>>

Management at a restaurant at the moment, but it's a sinking ship barely making £13000 a week. Job is alright, but GM is a fucking retard - we just got a new menu and he couldn't wrap his head around 9 new dishes. He just stood there with the dishes on the table, the KM explaining it to him a and repeatedly pronouncing quinoa 'kwin-o-a'.

I'm moving over to retail management, dealing with food at work is a fucking ballache, at least with nonperishable stock you don't have retards dating it wrong and causing unnecessary wastage.

Good lord

In my case, the owner (who seems to be the only actual Jap working there, as it happens) is pretty chill and nice enough

Part of the reason the dishes are such fuck is that I refuse to just run them through without actually getting them clean. Thankfully unlike your case, that opinion seems to be shared, I'm just a slow fuck compared to anyone else

One fucking sink compartment, what the fuck? Did you at least have an autochlor?

I've actually applied to a meat department at a local market. I'm really actually hoping to work in butchery and if they take me I'll probably pass on

I swear to fuck. When I'm on my own station, doing what I need to do I'm gravy.

I'm fine with doing hard work but when I have to bust ass because a manchild that's 15 years older than me cries because he has 5 simple orders to do and I need to be his bitch, prepping what he should have prepped in his downtown, I'm mad.

I've been working at my job for half a decade now, and I've been offered almost every position within the restaurant, but I've turned it all down to be a dishwasher.
Washing dishes is the best job in a restaurant. It's relatively low-stress, you get to think of newer, faster ways to run dishes, you get to eat scraps, and you generally don't have to deal with customers.

I make $11.50 and I'm scheduled 40 hours, but we're always short so if I want to work every day, I can get 16 hours of overtime, so I end up making enough money to get by where I live.
It's probably the best non-career job. I'm planning on sticking with it until I get out of school.

Sadly, it won't. As terrible as the food is, this is a franchised restaurant that I won't get into the name of but we get a lot of buisiness.
>>8695351
Largely dependent on who's working. When the good people are working, everything is cooked at an acceptable level and nothing is overseasoned or overcooked. When the whiny fags are working, a customer can expect overseasoned, mushy vegetables and very little care put into food. All after they wait 35 minutes for a simple meal of rice, proteins and mixed vegetables that goes for $30 a plate.

You. I like you. Cheers~

From my experience doing it in three different establishments it really depends on your boss, your co-workers, the set up of the dishwashing station/kitchen, the types of things you have to clean, and just how fucking busy it is. First job was at a chill local Italian place, fed me on shift, but hours ended up sucking after business slowed down and the owner was a dipshit. Second place was a chain restaurant that I made my living at for almost two years which had the benefit of at least having some decent staff members (I managed to get good with FOH) but hours became stagnant and business dwindled to where I couldn't advance. Third place was a local burger slinger, but expected whip cracking pace that I knew I couldn't keep up with and no breaks (which is illegal).

In the end it paid the bills, but it's nothing to write home about or stick with if you can help it.

You hardly even have to clean shit before tossing it in the dishwasher and it still comes out fine. Anything caked just sits in the sink until it's easy to scrub out. Other employees are always fucking up and making too much food to sell, which is nice to eat when it cmoes by the dish room.
Too bad the other retarded student employees are always sending knives and other sharp shit to the dish room instead of washing it in their area like they're supposed to.

worked as bartender and server. Also had to polish cutlery during down time. (tips were evenly split between staff)

To be honest i was so busy i didn't have time to think outside of polishing cutlery.

And in that time i just had imaginary political conversations in my head or just through about youtube videos i would make but never end making them.

>It's the most soulless

yeah, no shit, you sit in your corner scraping dishes and throwing them in water while the rest of the restaurant fucks around talking to people and making money.

The dishwasher is exactly the one I feel for the most. I had a blast as a busser and I'm enjoying myself as a server. Still want my cert though so I can moonlight in IT
>>
>>8696475
Please, anyone worth their salt who works in a restaurant knows how to stay busy during the rush, even if they have fuck all to do. The bussers who hangout with their thumb in their ass are the ones who last 2 weeks and don't make dick for tips.
>>
As someone who's worked as dish and as a cook on and off for some years I can say that the restaurant lifestyle isn't for me career wise. That being said, I love to cook and have a great deal of respect for the service industry. I was lucky enough to be taken on at a bakery as a production manager with literally no experience. Just the luck of the draw. Production is quota based. Being able to work in a kitchen with only one other person I can actually rely on and without the time constraints of restaurant production is ideal for me personally. I think if you have the passion, you just need to find the niche environment that works for you. I love my job.
>>
Im a bartender at a restaurant; as far as I can tell its the best job there; we make less than the servers because its not a sit down bar so we don't get direct tips but we do get a decent percentage of drink sale tips from the waiters. The job is piss easy; you spend about half your shift just standing or talking with waitresses/hostesses and even when its really busy its still decent; we also make more hourly than the chefs do. Feel really bad for those poor fucks
>>
I don't work in the restaurant

I work in a big shed behind the restaurant where all of the shit gets prepped for the cooks to use

I spend about four hours each shift doing nothing but laying breasts and dark meat down on a huge grill and tending to that, so it can be sent over and steamed with the veggies n shit

Got this fucking terrifying hole in one corner of the place that makes noises and occasionally steams. Nobody will tell me where it goes

The kitchen proper is a madhouse, but the shed is cool. It's basically me and this chill mexican lady and while we gotta get shit done, we're not constantly having to haul ass like the cooks

Sure my face feels like a pork rind at the end of the shift and I have no hair on my arms, but it's not a bad way of working

I have horrible anxiety issues, so to me, the worst position is being a server and second is host. Cooking is better than dishwashing because you at least get to move around a bit more. My back always hurts when I wash dishes, even at home.

I was a delivery driver. Even though the tips weren't always the best, and I was risking my life every time I delivered a pizza (potential car accident), I appreciated the alone time more than anything. I would even go to my apartment on the way to a delivery so I could take a bong rip or two. Bad idea in retrospect, but it was fun and easy cash.

That being said, I had to do every job when there weren't any deliveries up. Folding pizza boxes was extremely easy and solo and I went at just a fast enough pace to satisfy the managers. Minimum wage sucks, and the managers are generally assholes, but they are all simple jobs for simple minds for minimum pay, and it helps if you're in decent shape. Autists and retards do it for fuck's sake.

i loved being a dishwasher. But i worked in a deli at a hippy liberal food store, and the area i was living in had a significantly higher living cost, so i was hired at 12$/hr. It was my favorite job, i did it for almost two years and by the time i quit i was making 15$/hr

Anyone got the word on what it's like in fast food kitchens, like McD's or Burger King?

I got the words, but it'll cost ya soul.

It's pretty different from actual restaurants, and are usually way shittier.
You're just providing slop, so it's hard to take pride in it since it's not like a diner or actual restaurant food. Customers don't give a fuck about workers so you'll get hassled during rushes. Since speed is the key the people taking orders will always fuck up on what the customers want and kitchen will get blamed. Depending on the store and area you don't get a cleaning crew/dishwashers so you'll have to clean everything yourself, that's why closing shifts are usually hated by some.

Honestly if you can get hired in a fast food place that only makes barely enough money to stay open, it will be the easiest job ever.

I don't know about Soul Sucking, depending on the environment you can have a lot of fun back in the kitchen. it IS hard and stressful work that is very underpaid for the effort unless you're FOH, and there's always more to do.

It's better in places that are managed properly. Unlike mine REEEEEE

I felt that way about my current job when I first started. I stuck it out though and now kind of enjoy it. Pays well too. I'll always give a job at least a month or two before quitting.

this is a fair point, i am constantly harassed by:

1. 40-year-old mom, server, with two kids and a loving husband. Still feels the need to tell me about how she's trying anal, but her husband complains that she makes "weird dolphin noises" every time they try. Rubs against my ass and crotch constantly with her ass and crotch. Sometimes get a half-chub over it.

2. 26-year-old tiny red-head, server, with a boyfriend. Pulled me aside in the back where the walk-ins are at and tried to make out with me. Pretty sure she was drunk. Constantly flirts. Also touches my butt just as much, if not more, than Dirty Mom. Usually get a full-boner over it. Currently serving a 30 day stint in jail for a second DUI, but she'll be back. I wanna grab her boobs.

3. 20-something-year-old dude, bus person, possibly gay. Has frosted tips, consumes psychedelics on a regular basis, and constantly asks me inappropriate questions. He is a special lad, and I got him the job, so I basically asked for that one.

anyway, yeah, guys get it, too.

I can agree.
I nearly get hit by a car 2 times per day in a population 1000 town on a 10 minute walk to get food.
That or they high beam me, honk or scream at me causing epileptic seizures.

Look for walkers. Some of us are legitimately not allowed to drive ever in the US.
Do not honk at walkers.
Do not scream at walkers.
Do not use high beams when driving towards a walker, unless mandated by law or construction zone.

Most important:
CAR IS FASTER THAN HUMAN
If I am staring at you, FUCKING GO.
If I am not crossing, FUCKING GO.
If there is a line of cars behind you, do not accelerate towards me, cut me off and force me to wait five fucking minutes for the 8 guys that were tailgating your slow ass to pass.

I fucking hate cars. Stop honking at me, you're not going to find humor in a dude falling on his face on the concrete and twitching. Spooking people is highly fucking inadvisable in a life and death area.
Thanks. Drive safe faggots.

It's bad. She's cute as hell, has a nice ass, more-than-a-handful boobs. But, clearly, red flags. Drinking to excess while working, has a boyfriend but is clearly interested, the whole DUI thing... Eh. I'll pass.

How old are you? Early 20s and I'd go for it. Fuck anything that moves, just wrap it up m8

26, roughly about six months younger than she is. I just don't want to accidentally lose my job through probably-crazy-woman drama. That and her boyfriend could definitely kick my ass.

>>8700749
That's pretty understandable then.
