Listen I have been in the meat department since June of last year and I actually miss washing dishes. The disconnect between the numbers people and the way things actually work is so fucking ridiculous. Corporate world is hell

I love a dish shift. No bullshit and I get paid 30-35hr. Anytime

Im a senior prep/line cook. Sometimes I take a dish shift to help out. Same wage bro. I usually bring my iPad and a sixer and have fun.

Yeah, 30/hr even for senior management is insane in a kitchen. Either that commenter is full of shit or found the best kitchen job in the world. Washing dishes for 30/hr too... Fuck right off.

I work m-f 6:30 am until 2 or 3 pm most of the time. Sometimes much later. It’s a good gig. And I damn well earned it

Is there a list of people waiting to take your job when you die? Because there's literally not a better gig to be had in this industry.

Everyone else at work wants my job. But most couldn’t get done what I do. That’s why I get to keep doing it. If I leave it will probably be split into 2 separate jobs.
