Washing dishes at a restaurant was my jam. Cranking music, making the other staff happy since I could clear that place like nobody else. all the dishes were the same and fit in the machine that was made for them, so I could focus on making the most efficient system to get everything done fast. I was wet and standing on slippery concrete all day, but it's rewarding being the best at something.

But it payed 7.00, and the managers treated me like shit. Only job I ever walked out of when the owner started scolding me for washing a bin that was brought to me that still had too many frozen peas in it in her opinion. Final straw after constantly being short staffed, changing shifts last minute, firing good managers to give their shitty kids the positions, and forcing everyone to fill in other jobs without training.

Fuck you, pie company. I could have been happy.

Everyone loves the dish washer, or else

GT Pie Company? If so, weirdly small world.

Yep. I opened one of their locations and lost 2 years of my life to their shitty owners. Loved my coworkers though.

Lol I was a nepo hire at one of the facilities that made their pies. Folks there were pretty nice too.

Drenched. Moisturised. Happy. In their lane. Thriving.

I was the king of the dish pit as a teen and I loved it! I remember showing up and the other guys making sighs of relief, cause they knew they could go on forever smoko and I'd be hyperfocusing on this advanced game of Tetris. But yeah management ruined it. Almost all my jobs were ruined by management.
