anyone work as a dishwasher before?

JB20 · 08-01-2006, 10:28 PM

im currently making $5.50 an hour as a cashier/stock boy and was just offered a job as a dishwasher for $6.50 an hour should i take it? how hard is it?

**Sholiz** · 08-01-2006, 10:34 PM

The stock boy job I'm guessing is at a grocery store, if you ask me ... to wash katsup and gravy off dishes is better than dealing with customers. Can rock out in the back room with an iPod or something all day -- or ring items? I'd take the dishwasher.

JB20 · 08-01-2006, 10:39 PM

have you even done it? wonder how hard it is?

the chasier/stock boy is at a dollar store and basically when im not ringing up customers im moving boxes and putting things on the self. i have to put down what im doing and run back and forth everytime there is a customer

a plus of taking the dishwashing job is all of the hot college chicks that work there

well im sure you'll get some nasty stuff back there, being that it's peoples leftovers. you might get burnt by the water if its really hot, your hands will probably be bone dry by the end of the day, even if youre wearing gloves. plus you'll be standing in one position all day.

but you wont have to deal with people, you'll get paid more, and you dont need to work when their aren't any dishes to wash.

Dish monkey is a brutal suck ass job. Never heard of one person actually liking the job. And as a side note your guys min wage sucks ass. It's low here and it's still $7.50. You can work at McD's here for over $9 an hour.

i was making $9 an hour fulltime in a plastic mold injection factory but since im in college now i have to work these shit jobs

I'm guessing the cost of living there is much lower then here. With the oil boom and our province being the biggest source of oil outside the middle east the economy is white hot. My buddy does hot shot's for oil companies (delievers parts for the oil industry on demand) and makes $30,000 a month!

I washed dishes for a few years back in High School ( I actulay liked it ) I made more than 6.50 though. Give it a try but you have to be quick. It is easy.

About $4.40 right now. Both levels of government tax gas here so a large portion of the price is tax. Sucks.
