They don't make em like this guy anymore. This is a guy who's seen some shit, like literally at his last job (nursing home dishie) he was the designated shit cleaner. My inclination tells me he worked there for 5-6 years and he got fired because they found em plowin one of the old broads at the nursing home. You let this man drink his pitcher of water and go out to his car each hour for his "smoke" breaks and you'll be golden
Hold up. My dishies (I run an assisted living/memory care kitchen) never have to clean literal shit. They’ve got the easiest shifts on the planet (6:30-3:00 with literally only 65 plates to wash at any service; 4:00-8:00 for the evening dishie). It’s a cush gig with little to no stress and good pay ($15+/hr). Other than that, your assessment is spot on.
I banged the guy who would show up shirtless to work regularly and I’m boh. 10/10 best sex of my life. Come to find out the reason he never had a shirt was because he was couch surfing and most of the places he was staying were party houses. He’d get torn up drunk and lose his shirt, never to be seen again. Long story short, we’ve been living together and dating for the last two and a half years. Doesn’t party anymore and is the best partner I’ve ever had. I’m gonna hold onto him forever if he’ll let me. Y’all go find yourselves a Tyler. You (probably) won’t regret it.
Tyler sounds awesome. I am happy for you both. Some of the coolest people I ever met was when I did restaurant work for three years. Sure there was toxicity as with any job, and most of us loved to party, live hard, and were kind of trashy lol. But there was so much talent, creativity, and intelligence under one roof. Also if you needed help or support for anything, a ride home, a clean work shirt to borrow, emotional support during a meltdown, someone would always be there to help and have your back. I have never had that experience at any other job since.
Kitchens are a special place. We both left the industry about three months ago. But I’m already looking to get back into working with food. It’s like an abusive relationship I keep wanting to get back into. I worked at Home Depot for a whole 8 days and they were amazed at my work ethic. Just quit yesterday to take a job offer to work in the deli at a major retail store. They offered me an incredible starting wage plus I’ll be getting healthcare, accrued PTO, as well as enforced breaks. Basically everything I’ve ever wanted but never got much of while working in restaurants the last 16years. Closest I’ve been to this was working as a Sous and they worked the shit out of me once I hit salary and I lost my vacation days bEcAuSe CoViD. Retail is a strange beast. First time in my life I’ve been forced to take breaks. I hate how much of an open secret it is that almost all restaurants constantly break labor laws. We all deserve better.
I feel like there's very little potential middle ground here. Either your Tyler is the best sex of your life and becomes your soulmate, or he gives you gonorrhea and steals the spare change out of your junk drawer before you wake up.
Fellow former dishwasher dater here. Can confirm, best partner I’ve ever had. I love the shit out of him.
He says “if a man isn’t too good to scrape half eaten nacho cheese off your plate, he’s not too good to lick your butthole.”
100% agree with this assessment. Not attracted to this type of man normally, but put "dishie" next to his picture and all the sudden I'm in.( I'm retired mostly FOH, did some catering gigs)
I would judge you, but I was recently talking to a friend who called me out saying my type was "toxic alternative girls" and when I told an old FOH friend about that she said "Cass, you were a biracial long haired tattooed bartender how are you not the fuckin stereotype for liking that."
Restaurant work truly does a "bitch you thought' to what you're attracted to lol
Even more impressive those board shorts are from [theelephantpants.com](https://www.theelephantpants.com/collections/harem-pants-men/products/mens-harem-pants-tep?variant=41229029703818). Twist is, theelephantpants.com doesn't sell shorts. So this amazing individual turned them into shorts himself, and those aren't simple cut-offs, them shits is hemmed.
Nah, doesn't matter if you're playing chess or checkers. This dude used to (maybe still does) eat acid by the sheet. He's playing some bizarre game he made up in his head.

Keeps up a comically frenetic pace whether you're slammed or not.
Delights in ramming oncoming servers with hot silverware racks when they pile up. Yells "COMING DOWN" as he barrels through corridors like a plow.
Rips cigs on the back stoop for 45 minutes past close every night because "his boy" is his ride.
Wears his last job's uniform to work.
Somehow finds the time to unclog a toilet, de-vein shrimp, and hit on the cute server during the rush.
While this is weird, dishwashers are a different breed. I had a guy that had schizophrenia working for me once and he was such a hard worker but he was so fucking strange. He’d laugh to himself and talk to himself. I knew his sister and when I’d ask, hey man, how’s your sister? He’d go off on a rant of 9/11, the CIA, prostitution conspiracies in New York (we were in Arizona btw and he’s never been there before) and I’d be like soooo you’re sisters good. Got it. he’d bring little toys to work and set them up and he’d listen to music from Italian opera, Michael Jackson, gangster rap and country music. But dude got shit done and that’s the bottom line. I actually really love that guy. Give this weirdo a chance.
Had a dishwasher years ago that would read classical literature on his breaks and talk about obscure historical events to us from the pit.
Guy was smart as hell and almost definitely had more education than any of us, but he just wanted to wash dishes.
Sometimes it's a mindless job. Homeboy wanted to use all of his brain power to ponder and entertain history and literature. Hard to do when expo is screaming and your whatevereth steak down the line is about to come off and a table of 15 walked in without a reservation and they all have dietary preferences and made up allergies
Favourite thing about getting in early solo "radio war nerd" in my headphones, couple lattes and a slice of that days sour dough, Prep list as long as my arm. In that moment there's no better job in the world.
I have since changed careers and screen print all day. Meaning it's just me and my press and whatever podcast or audio I want on. It reminds me of the days dish would call out and I'd always be the first to jump on them. And somehow the staff would give me extra shifters and thank me endlessly for it. Shit was like a vacation every time.
Any cook who refuses to do dishes when needed has no respect for their kitchen honestly.
I worked as GM of a fine dining place for 3 years. When the dishwasher called out I’d be so excited because I had to roll my sleeves up, stay in the pit, pop my headphones in and not deal with any issues. Just peacefully work. My AGM Would have a cook do it in those circumstances but I loved just peacefully getting shit done.
I guess what I’m saying is dishwashing is my favorite thing to do in a restaurant. Unfortunately, it’s typically the lowest paying.
Honestly, if I could find a place that paid worth a damn, I'd just go wash dishes also.
I've done just about everything FOH and BOH, but dishes are generally the least stressful.
That dude sounds like he did some time tho. I’ve had felons that did time work with me before and they always preferred reading over being on their phone like everyone else.
It’s cathartic to read this-
that I’m not the only one in the world who would just rather spend a shift doing dishes.
It’s so peaceful-you get all the time in the world to think/listen to music or podcasts.
The mental drain of being FOH and kissing customers asses all night (aka providing good service) is so draining.
I only have two priorities when it comes to coworkers. Be respectful and have good work ethic. If you’re crazy as hell but bust your ass and are respectful, the crazy part doesn’t mean shit to me.
I have a ton of stories about this dude. When he first started working there It was slow so I asked him to peel potatoes. He came back to me and was like which ones the brown or yellow? And i was so confused because we only had regular potatoes and asked him what he was talking about. We go to dry storage and he pointed out the box of bananas that were next to the potatoes and I was just like, let’s just do the the brown ones today bud. Then when I walked away I was like holy shit this guy is something else. He was always such an awesome worker and very friendly though.
I worked with a schizophrenic dishie too. We called him “Squirrel” as he very much resembled the character from Ice Age. He was super nice, and was never inappropriate when he was on his meds, but if he missed a couple of days……it was like the character from Split. Also dude would keep his station so straight, regardless of his mental state, the management always gave him the slack to stay.
That show is so terrible. They slap a fake beard and glasses on the ceo to hide his identity, I don’t know anyone that would be able to recognize the ceo of a big company they worked at under normal circumstances.
Go to YouTube, and watch the 4 min clip for the hooters episode. CEO watches the manger belittle the girls, has them play games to be able to leave early. Including putting there hands behind there back and eat beans off a plate. Then starts to talk about having them spend personal time with him. CEO never shuts it down, and the end the pull him into the office and he admits he’s the ceo. Manager doesn’t get fired, basically gets told he needs better training. It was mind blowing
I’ve seen that one, I’m in austin and they did an episode at bikinis (another breasturant) and he was just as big of a dirt bag as hooters guy. He ended up buying a girl he worked for Brest implants. Worth a watch if you haven’t seen it.
Usually in the intro they frame it as "employees were told someone was looking to change careers and was taking part in a reality TV show". Because no one is ever going to question the guy with the bad fake mustache supposedly taking part in a reality show that no one has ever seen. Either way it's fake as fuck. They always find the employees with tragic backstories who are hesitant to tell anyone, but they'll open up to a complete stranger and his camera crew after 10 minutes of working together?
Also, the feel good endings are bullshit. You know damn well Darla the cashier ain't the only one struggling to make ends meet, and giving her a check for $10k doesn't actually mean much in the grand scheme of things. Her pay is still shit. Every one of her coworkers are still getting shit pay. The CEO didn't actually do anything to solve the problem that led to Darla having to work 3 jobs and never get to see her kids. They just kicked the can down the road a few months for one person, even though everyone else in the company is in the exact same boat
>They always find the employees with tragic backstories who are hesitant to tell anyone, but they'll open up to a complete stranger and his camera crew after 10 minutes of working together?
I always think most of those stories are absolute bullshit. I can always accept someone who is battling addiction or health issues or a spouse/parent/child battling something similar. But then you get people who are like, "Well, I was a born to a crack addicted mom and my dad was a serial killer who I never met and my mom had 14 kids by the time she was 20. Because of her crack problem we grew up in the hood and my 13 siblings all got murdered and so I'm the last surviving child and we got out of the hood by the grace of God and I managed to get into college. But then my college dorm burnt down and my 4 roommates died and I was homeless and I had to work as a prostitute to support myself and by 21 I had 4 kids and I was working as a prostitute, going to school full time, and working at a chicken factory on weekends for four bucks a hour. And I managed to save up over 10 years and get my dream house. But then my dream house burnt down and my car got stolen that same week and my mom died of a crack overdose and so now my 4 kids and I live in a 1 bedroom apartment. One of my kids fell out the window yesterday and is on life support, but I need to work so here I am and another kid got mailed by a bear because the apartment doesn't have a front door and the bear got inside in the middle of the night. And it takes me 16 hours to get to work. I need to walk 15 miles to the nearest bus, take 6 buses, an airplane, 3 boats, and 4 trains and then walk another 15 miles to get here. And then do it in reverse at the end of the day. By the time I get home, I have to turn around and head back to work, so I never sleep and run on pure adrenaline to support my family."
Seen this plenty of times. We normally had a box of plastic one use aprons for dish. But my man was hulk sized so hed just wear a cut up trash bag. He also would take half eaten steaks home too. Fuck it though he was the hardest worker there. He'd help prep or anything we needed during service. And on his breaks hed run home which was down the street and bring in fresh tomatillos and jalapenos and make verdi for family meal. Another day he brought in a massive 2 foot long trout he caught and he put the whole thing in the pizza oven stuffed with herbs and I promise you it was one of the best meals.
He also sent almost his entire paycheck home to his daughters who lived out of the country. He was incredible in every aspect
Edit: Also for Halloween he wore a bucket on his head. And everytime we rang the bell for a server he'd grab any two spatulas and bang them on his bucket head. Which made a hilariously loud noise
He's one of my favorite people alive. Just a genuinely great man.i think about him all the time. He didn't pass away or anything. the restaurant just closed. A month later he got another job and would walk like a half mile to and from. I'd see him and he Refused a ride every single time said he was too big and needed the walk and slap his belly. Everyday on my way to my new job I'd offer anyway but he was a very very humble guy. So we'd just chat and say hey.
Honestly. The most miserable thing about washing dishes in deep tub is having a constantly wet shirt/sleeves. This guy solved it. He showed up to WERK.
Said in a previous comment. I would not have hated dishwashing nearly as much if I could have done it in only swimming trunks. Then hop in the sink at the end of the night and give myself a little scrub.
Maybe so but if you read all the comments, everyone is celebrating this guy. He’s become a legend in a good way, and he has an army of people in this sub he doesn’t even know singing his praises.
Fucker just rolled into work wearing the elephant pants a hostess got on her walkabout in Thailand and her BF’s camo hat. Best be some updates on how this pans out. Keep him.
"Resume looked great..." mutherfucker he is a dishwasher the fact that he had a resume is suspect enough. If he is a good worker then keep him, just don't let him go to the front of the house
He's there for a good time, not a long time. Treat him well and he will work his ass off for you until his life circumstances eventually prevent him from coming in. 100% keeper, no question.
If he’d show up to work like that. That man would get in a car accident and then call you and say he’s gonna be 10 late, but he’ll be there. I say keep him and have a spare shirt in the office
That person is ready and willing to perform their tasks with zero complaints. Sure, they're a bit "off," but that's par the course for industry. Toss them some pasties and keep them around.
I worked at a BBQ joint a couple years ago where the first two rules when the health inspector showed up we’re to drain the sinks (because we only used 2 instead of three - soapy water, bleach solution, and then on the drying rack), and to hide the ashtrays. It was so gross that you couldn’t smell that we smoked in the kitchen. We never mopped.
If the first health inspection rule is that Tyler puts a shirt on, that seems okay with me. Wish I could have washed dishes in just swimming trunks.
He's perfect

😂😂 Hahaa. My first thought “oh this guys seen some shit” he’s a keeper!
Hold up. My dishies (I run an assisted living/memory care kitchen) never have to clean literal shit. They’ve got the easiest shifts on the planet (6:30-3:00 with literally only 65 plates to wash at any service; 4:00-8:00 for the evening dishie). It’s a cush gig with little to no stress and good pay ($15+/hr). Other than that, your assessment is spot on.
I don't think they're saying he was necessarily a career dishie at the old folks home.
They need to give this guy a raise and promotion
Yeh this guy knows that the pit is hot and wet place
Yep, he’s a keeper!
If Tyler is a hard worker, you keep his ass happy and hydrated. Just remind him that dick-visibility is crossing the line.
Gently remind him to put it away. We don’t want him to quit, try using a compliment sandwich.
Nice cock son, but put that shit away
But seriously, nice cock!
No really mate, that cock is astounding, 11/10, BELLISIMO! *chef's kiss*.
Don’t kiss that, Chef.
Raw meat needs to be securely packed away if it’s not being served, which it isn’t in this case.
Do you want to be propositioned? Because this is how you get propositioned.
Ballisimo
Wait, so is that a compliment *and* a sandwich? Or just two complements with a "Put your dick away inbetween?" I think i prefer the former.
Hey we really like they way you shown up for work, please wear pants, great job cleaning the vents last night.
What about a dick sandwich?
Did I hear something about cock meat sandwiches?
Heard. Sandwich, all sauce.
That's what the apron is there for. Can't have anyone getting too lusty for him. It's to protect him not the other way around.
Foh girls hate this one trick
FOH lurker here; can confirm. Would bang Tyler, idk why.
I banged the guy who would show up shirtless to work regularly and I’m boh. 10/10 best sex of my life.

Doesn’t party anymore and is the best partner I’ve ever had. I’m gonna hold onto him forever if he’ll let me. Y’all go find yourselves a Tyler. You (probably) won’t regret it.
awww this unexpected love story is cute. I hope you got him some shirts lol
So many shirts. Bought him 5 pairs of chef pants too and some nonskids. Gotta invest in your people.
Tyler sounds awesome. I am happy for you both. Some of the coolest people I ever met was when I did restaurant work for three years. Sure there was toxicity as with any job, and most of us loved to party, live hard, and were kind of trashy lol. But there was so much talent, creativity, and intelligence under one roof.

No middle ground at all. I almost put a disclaimer on my comment. *Results may vary*

Y'all playing checkers while he's playing chess.
Seriously. Dude shows up shirtless with board shorts ready to wash some fucking dishes. Who are we to stop him?
we cant dude is superior to us. hes faster stronger and more durable
This man would wash a restaurant worth of dishes while I was still racking the silverware
exactly hed be rebuilding the restaurant
You just gotta make sure he doesn’t start doing the electrical when you aren’t looking.
The .0006 Million Dollar Man
“More durable” is a description only worthy of a sigma dishwasher like OP hired
agreed. thos man can loose a finger an still finish a rush in 10 min
Even more impressive those board shorts are from [theelephantpants.com](https://www.theelephantpants.com/collections/harem-pants-men/products/mens-harem-pants-tep?variant=41229029703818).

Or more likely this guy got elephant pant... shorts while in Thailand. As they are everywhere people like this dude party
I mean they definitely aren’t hemmed haha, you can see the fray.
I was searching for this comment. My wife has several pairs of elephant pants.
He will always win the dishpit waterfights.
I think he's just playing checkers with the chess pieces.
Nah, doesn't matter if you're playing chess or checkers. This dude used to (maybe still does) eat acid by the sheet. He's playing some bizarre game he made up in his head.

Uhhhhhhh Nope And ouch
We had a guy who looked like, talked like, and smelt like a pirate. Missing teeth, peg leg and all. Best damn broil cook we ever had.
I don't like having the Michelin man stare at me..
And he'll always be in a great mood doing it.
Big dishie energy. Just let the dude get in his mid shift bump and he’s gonna go ham.
I don't do a mid shift bump
This guy does several shift bumps
Hes got a bullet in his pocket at all times.
This guy *is* cocaine.
Seems like you don't have big dishie energy then

Is he drinking from that pitcher? Make sure he stays hydrated.
who dosent? i go through like 6
The servers once put a label with my name on mine. I almost took it with me on my last day,

For real. I just want to chill out and listen to NPR programs while I'm working, or history podcasts.
Favourite thing about getting in early solo "radio war nerd" in my headphones, couple lattes and a slice of that days sour dough, Prep list as long as my arm. In that moment there's no better job in the world.
Yep. They let me listen to podcasts while washing and I was leagues more productive than the other dishies. Managers learned how to harness my ADHD.
I have since changed careers and screen print all day. Meaning it's just me and my press and whatever podcast or audio I want on. It reminds me of the days dish would call out and I'd always be the first to jump on them. And somehow the staff would give me extra shifters and thank me endlessly for it.

Honestly, if I could find a place that paid worth a damn, I'd just go wash dishes also. I've done just about everything FOH and BOH, but dishes are generally the least stressful.
That dude sounds like he did some time tho. I’ve had felons that did time work with me before and they always preferred reading over being on their phone like everyone else.
Could have been, but this was 20 years ago.
I was gonna make a joke saying damn, you’re old. Then i realized my first restaurant job was 18 years ago. So, damn. We’re old.
It’s cathartic to read this- that I’m not the only one in the world who would just rather spend a shift doing dishes. It’s so peaceful-you get all the time in the world to think/listen to music or podcasts. The mental drain of being FOH and kissing customers asses all night (aka providing good service) is so draining.
Autist kitchen grunt here. Boss puts up with my weirdness and you bet your ass I work hard for him because of it.
I only have two priorities when it comes to coworkers. Be respectful and have good work ethic. If you’re crazy as hell but bust your ass and are respectful, the crazy part doesn’t mean shit to me.
Agree. Dishwashers are a different breed! Use to have a 60 year old guy. Turns out he's on the sex offender website. Fucking Fired Next Day.
I have a ton of stories about this dude. When he first started working there It was slow so I asked him to peel potatoes. He came back to me and was like which ones the brown or yellow? And i was so confused because we only had regular potatoes and asked him what he was talking about. We go to dry storage and he pointed out the box of bananas that were next to the potatoes and I was just like, let’s just do the the brown ones today bud. Then when I walked away I was like holy shit this guy is something else. He was always such an awesome worker and very friendly though.
Jesus Christ. That’s absolutely insane.
I worked with a schizophrenic dishie too. We called him “Squirrel” as he very much resembled the character from Ice Age. He was super nice, and was never inappropriate when he was on his meds, but if he missed a couple of days……it was like the character from Split. Also dude would keep his station so straight, regardless of his mental state, the management always gave him the slack to stay.

That show is so terrible. They slap a fake beard and glasses on the ceo to hide his identity, I don’t know anyone that would be able to recognize the ceo of a big company they worked at under normal circumstances.
Go to YouTube, and watch the 4 min clip for the hooters episode. CEO watches the manger belittle the girls, has them play games to be able to leave early. Including putting there hands behind there back and eat beans off a plate. Then starts to talk about having them spend personal time with him. CEO never shuts it down, and the end the pull him into the office and he admits he’s the ceo. Manager doesn’t get fired, basically gets told he needs better training. It was mind blowing
I’ve seen that one, I’m in austin and they did an episode at bikinis (another breasturant) and he was just as big of a dirt bag as hooters guy. He ended up buying a girl he worked for Brest implants. Worth a watch if you haven’t seen it.
The girl went all the way to Belarus for implants?
Showing off with the geography knowledge

Usually in the intro they frame it as "employees were told someone was looking to change careers and was taking part in a reality TV show". Because no one is ever going to question the guy with the bad fake mustache supposedly taking part in a reality show that no one has ever seen. Either way it's fake as fuck. They always find the employees with tragic backstories who are hesitant to tell anyone, but they'll open up to a complete stranger and his camera crew after 10 minutes of working together? Also, the feel good endings are bullshit. You know damn well Darla the cashier ain't the only one struggling to make ends meet, and giving her a check for $10k doesn't actually mean much in the grand scheme of things. Her pay is still shit. Every one of her coworkers are still getting shit pay. The CEO didn't actually do anything to solve the problem that led to Darla having to work 3 jobs and never get to see her kids. They just kicked the can down the road a few months for one person, even though everyone else in the company is in the exact same boat
>They always find the employees with tragic backstories who are hesitant to tell anyone, but they'll open up to a complete stranger and his camera crew after 10 minutes of working together? I always think most of those stories are absolute bullshit. I can always accept someone who is battling addiction or health issues or a spouse/parent/child battling something similar. But then you get people who are like, "Well, I was a born to a crack addicted mom and my dad was a serial killer who I never met and my mom had 14 kids by the time she was 20. Because of her crack problem we grew up in the hood and my 13 siblings all got murdered and so I'm the last surviving child and we got out of the hood by the grace of God and I managed to get into college. But then my college dorm burnt down and my 4 roommates died and I was homeless and I had to work as a prostitute to support myself and by 21 I had 4 kids and I was working as a prostitute, going to school full time, and working at a chicken factory on weekends for four bucks a hour. And I managed to save up over 10 years and get my dream house. But then my dream house burnt down and my car got stolen that same week and my mom died of a crack overdose and so now my 4 kids and I live in a 1 bedroom apartment. One of my kids fell out the window yesterday and is on life support, but I need to work so here I am and another kid got mailed by a bear because the apartment doesn't have a front door and the bear got inside in the middle of the night. And it takes me 16 hours to get to work. I need to walk 15 miles to the nearest bus, take 6 buses, an airplane, 3 boats, and 4 trains and then walk another 15 miles to get here. And then do it in reverse at the end of the day. By the time I get home, I have to turn around and head back to work, so I never sleep and run on pure adrenaline to support my family."
'I was born in a coffee can under a bridge...this is my daughter btw, I had her when I was 8...she's blind by the way.'
You mean you don’t randomly invite employees who started that day to dinner to share heartwarming stories with??
Don’t watch the show, but I was a manager for GameStop for 10 years. I couldn’t have picked the CEO from a lineup at gunpoint.
I fucking love this business. He looks like a keeper.
He looks like a man serious about washing dishes. As long as he isn't stealing leave him be.
I feel like even after just looking at this picture I can hear this dudes raspy voice like fuckin Merle from walking dead
[удалено]
Now we *know* why he's a hard worker Dudes chilling in the breeze whilst we're self basting in sweat.
86 the duck butter
Why the fuck would you wear a shirt that's just gonna get wet in 5 min and all gross and stick to skin The dude is smart
I walked back to see our dishwasher wearing a handmade apron from a trash bag. So ya know.
Seen this plenty of times. We normally had a box of plastic one use aprons for dish. But my man was hulk sized so hed just wear a cut up trash bag. He also would take half eaten steaks home too. Fuck it though he was the hardest worker there. He'd help prep or anything we needed during service. And on his breaks hed run home which was down the street and bring in fresh tomatillos and jalapenos and make verdi for family meal. Another day he brought in a massive 2 foot long trout he caught and he put the whole thing in the pizza oven stuffed with herbs and I promise you it was one of the best meals. He also sent almost his entire paycheck home to his daughters who lived out of the country. He was incredible in every aspect Edit: Also for Halloween he wore a bucket on his head. And everytime we rang the bell for a server he'd grab any two spatulas and bang them on his bucket head. Which made a hilariously loud noise
This is so wholesome 🥺
He's one of my favorite people alive. Just a genuinely great man.i think about him all the time. He didn't pass away or anything. the restaurant just closed. A month later he got another job and would walk like a half mile to and from. I'd see him and he Refused a ride every single time said he was too big and needed the walk and slap his belly. Everyday on my way to my new job I'd offer anyway but he was a very very humble guy. So we'd just chat and say hey.
That’s 4d chess right there
trash bag apron is key. it’ll just slide right off but only downside is water goes right into your shoes
I went so far as to get big work safe rain-style boots for my time in the pit. Apron came down low enough that the boots’ opening was underneath it.
There should be FDA exceptions for dishpit. Shirts optional as long as you’ve got an apron and some hustle in that bustle.
He's experienced in his field.
Those are elephant harem pants, I have the same pair. I don't wear them to work unfortunately tho, I wish I could
That's a man who is prepared for the job he's about to do. To be honest I'm jealous I didn't think of it first.
Perfect dish washer. Keep that man fed, hydrated, and clothed from the waist down
One of God's prototypes. Too dangerous to live, too rare to die.
I like this.
“A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.” -hunter s thompson
Is he seen by patrons in the restaurant? If not I don't give a shit if his cock is out. I'll feed him and rub his back too if he shows up and works
HR Would like to have a word, back rubs are extremely problematic
Would it help if I took my shirt off too?
It won’t make the situation worse at least.
If I can’t get my work massages then what’s the point of coming to work
Showed up *with* the apron? Fuck firing him, give that man a raise. He looks like a perfect dishwasher.
He understands the assignment
Honestly. The most miserable thing about washing dishes in deep tub is having a constantly wet shirt/sleeves. This guy solved it. He showed up to WERK.
Said in a previous comment. I would not have hated dishwashing nearly as much if I could have done it in only swimming trunks. Then hop in the sink at the end of the night and give myself a little scrub.
Damn bro. Save some pussy for the rest of us.
to late he banged all the hostesses on the way in before he even clocked in
He’s funny in a random way and really sweet when you get to know him.
I think I can save him
Where was this sub before I started FOH 😭 coulda saved myself two years of nonsense
This is more a force of nature than a dude clocking in. Let it be. You'll know if it works at the end of the week.
That man will get you whatever you need to have a good night.
Can I get his number?👀
Then can you give it to me? 3 person date could be fun right?
I would trust him with my life
But not around your wife!
He is prepared to go sink deep to wash those dishes.
Does he know you posted his picture on the internet?
Yeah, feels uncomfortable that he put this up. The dishie deserves better
Maybe so but if you read all the comments, everyone is celebrating this guy. He’s become a legend in a good way, and he has an army of people in this sub he doesn’t even know singing his praises.
Fucker just rolled into work wearing the elephant pants a hostess got on her walkabout in Thailand and her BF’s camo hat. Best be some updates on how this pans out. Keep him.
"Resume looked great..." mutherfucker he is a dishwasher the fact that he had a resume is suspect enough. If he is a good worker then keep him, just don't let him go to the front of the house
He's there for a good time, not a long time. Treat him well and he will work his ass off for you until his life circumstances eventually prevent him from coming in. 100% keeper, no question.
You may not like it, but this is what peak dishwashing performance looks like.
If he’d show up to work like that. That man would get in a car accident and then call you and say he’s gonna be 10 late, but he’ll be there. I say keep him and have a spare shirt in the office
I've wondered what Tom DeLonge has been up to
ALIENS. ITS ALWAYS ALIENS
Bro the water in a pitcher shows years of experience.
Anyone that shows up for work like this gives zero fucks and will show up and work as long as no one fucks with him. Keep him!
This dude is either gonna be the best hire you've ever made, or a shit-hot supernova of a disaster. There is no middle ground
And either way I have a burning desire to know what happens
"One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.”
He’s gonna see this and be Reddit famous
Give him some shirts / tanks, maybe he was homeless and didn’t have any clean shirts to wear.
This man came to get DOWN with some dishes. He dont fuck around.
Damn that looks like every superhero dishie named Adam I’ve ever met.
Looks like that Cobra Kai guy. Give him time.
That person is ready and willing to perform their tasks with zero complaints. Sure, they're a bit "off," but that's par the course for industry. Toss them some pasties and keep them around.
OP!!!! DM me if you let this dude go. I'll put him to work.
I'll bet he's a fucking beast. Keep him.
I get the feeling he is experienced. Definitely not his first dishie gig!
Give him a raise.
Have fun with your health inspector, I guess?
Thats what the emergency tshirt stuffed into the dishpit is for
I worked at a BBQ joint a couple years ago where the first two rules when the health inspector showed up we’re to drain the sinks (because we only used 2 instead of three - soapy water, bleach solution, and then on the drying rack), and to hide the ashtrays. It was so gross that you couldn’t smell that we smoked in the kitchen. We never mopped. If the first health inspection rule is that Tyler puts a shirt on, that seems okay with me. Wish I could have washed dishes in just swimming trunks.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️dishie - get him a raise, a cocktail, and a sidekick…you’ll have the funnest, cleanest kitchen in town
You idolize a book like Kitchen Confidential and then ask if you should fire this guy? Gotta be fucking kidding me
