Pretty fucking stupid and inefficient of them not to have a dishwasher. Sucks Sup Forumsro

umm all ur doing is washing dishes how hard can that be? why would ur back and asshole hurt from that? unless ur manager is shoving a dick up ur ass while ur cleaning lol. Dont worry wash enough dishes and maybe you will be washing lettuce or mopping the floor next

god i fucking hate niggers

fuck off. i just cant fucking stand them

>be me
>buy food
>always niggers

This is either terrible bait or you're so young you've used a dishwasher all your life and are too young to be on this board.

This did not happen.

You've never actually worked, have you? And starting a sentence with "umm" makes you sound like a braindead teenage girl

This was my first job when I was 16. I eventually moved up but the first month was so ass I thought I would quit if I didn't get moved up. Thankfully they hired someone new and they got the dish burden. But dishes is hard work without a dishwasher, especially during "rushes" or high amounts of people hitting the restaraunt at once

It did. They shoplifted and probably got caught. Summer was over by that week and I put in my two week notice earlier, so that was one of my last days so I didn't hear the story.

That was my first job ever and believe me it sucks balls. The Mexicans that won't speak a lick of English to you are partying and seem to enjoy it. Meanwhile, every other worker in the restaurant treats you like shit and a slave. Throw away any chance of banging that hot waitress that smirked at you. It sucks ass and made me appreciate future jobs.

Actually I dont own a dishwasher and wash my own dishes and im probably older or same age as you
I just came from 8 hour shift at work. and Not just washing dishes. actually lifting boxes, stacking shelfs and dealing with customers . What did you do today?
We have a new guy at work hes like 17 and
reminds me of you because hes always complaining, lazy and he probably does the least work of all of us. but now hes quitting because I think he found another job. I never worked in a restaurant washing dishes but i think u might be making it out worse that it really is.

How long did it take you to leave the dish pit? I signed up for something else at Boston Market but got stuck on dish first, not they moved me up as soon as a new hire hit. Later in life after I was dumb enough to sign up for the military, when I was in college i did dishwashing for six months and it was better because they had a machine and it was a breakfast lunch place so it closed at reasonable hours. I eventually quit because I couldn't move up to cook.

It was my first time doing manual labor, also of course I'm making it out worse than it really is. It's just most dishwasher are treated less than human and oy sucks. We get stuck in a corner of the restaraunt and don't talk to anyone besides your FOH (servers) and BOH (cooks), and usually when they talk to you it's a quick "hurry up" or "I need this stuff washed now." Or some similar complaint. After dishes, your back is sore and everyone else but youre assistant manager leaves which is really tough because you gotta stay behind.

Any tips for getting into IT? I did four years of IT related stuff in the military and have A+ and SharePoint certs. Also experience in CCNA but unfortunately wasn't allowed to test out.

Mfw I have no face

I worked in IT with a govt contractor and the best way to get in is by knowing someone. Also, having a degree helps because they can bill more for IT services if you are college educated.

Anything with raw or overcooked chicken is rank. At my old utility position i drained the chicken blood from the carts they put them on.

tbh washing dishes was probably my favorite job that i've had so far. i was working at a campsite with my best friend, lived on campus (a bunch of cabins by a lake), had my own cabin with internet, no living expenses.

job paid like min wage but i was free to spend my money whenever because no obligations, shit was lit.

now **cleaning** all the cabins i might have some stories, holy shit. you guys hate on the blacks but there was this one group of russians who made that job hell

Good to hear, I'm working on a degree, but I've been told that degrees in that field are useless. Good thing I started with experience so I could meet people.

Haha nice dude. At my old BOF dishwashing battle station I was the last one there usually so the manager gave me a key to lock up. I took all of the edited dinner mints, dumped them in my cup holders, and ate like a king. The waiters were blamed for it too lol.

Yeah they let me lock up too. I'd never trust a 17 year old to do that and not steal so maybe they expected it or something.
That job seemed like really hard work at the time but I don't know if it was just because I was young or it actually was. Happy it's in the past but think I learned a lot from it. What do you do now?

A dead wife is not an excuse to be such a huge cunt.

This is me. except that i only make 70k.

how old are you?/How long have been in doing it?

1. Get into scripting, learn Powershell.
2. Learn how to process XML- and JSON-files, both as data and as configuration for your scripts.
3. Learn Microsoft Azure, specifically learn how to do anything and everything by using Powershell, together with JSON-files.
4. ???
5. Profit.

Thank me later.

True, but I still felt bad

So it was actual Ned Flanders before Vegas Mom?

Look into DoDDs and DoDEA. They just dumped all their foreign IT contractors. Stay on USAjobs constantly and build reports on it to notify you of new jobs. Look into the GS system. Shit dude, you should know all this already if you spent 4 years in. Didn't you talk to the job counselors and shit when you ETS'd? If not, get your ass to the closest post and hit up ACS, they can help you.

All he was missing was the diddlies

but they were replaced with fuck-yous

Its a good idea. But in reality you will need more than that.

tl;dr
I got fired for being 1 minute late, girl keeps job for skipping work.

I've got my A+, MCSA, Win7 client, and working CCNA now, going to go into the army in a few months as a 25b because finding IT work without experience sucks penis. Just gonna be a reservist too kek.

Prolly gonna be a POG for 3 years and if I feel like dying I'll reclass to 11b and request a combat deployment. There's only one cool mos in the signal corps, but I can't get 25v in writing. :(

Yeah, check USjobs, if your sec clearance is up to date that's a big +, if you're in SoCal there's a bunch of jobs at pendleton and corinado.

Why is it so hard to believe?

Yes.

Yes
The packaging part hanging out of back pockets doesn't add up though.

Please don't use "ur" outside of cat macros, it makes me think you learned english from texting people instead of books.

Yikes....poor dude....

Because many people on this site hate niggers and want to spread the message that niggers are bad and some of those people are willing to lie to do so.

I still can't believe people like this actually exist

Most people on this site (and all of the cyber-anglosphere) do not learn English from books. Native speakers learn it from their family and friends.

Better to be wrong and safe than right and Get screwed over. I don't give a fuck if you think that's racist. To me, ANYONE, especially white people, who get uptight about people being racist are brainwashed idiots. And of course blacks are all about shouting racism because it absolves them of having to take responsibility.

Most people will straight up lie on Sup Forums just to gain a tiny bit of fleeting approval from anons because their daddies never loved them. Anything posted on this site has to be taken with a grain of salt.

I thought all those tendie stories were jokes?

In the case of niggers, exaggerations are unnecessary.

I'm really good at helping people find words or finish sentences, almost to the degree of Joeseph Joestar. But fuck me, I could not work at Subway for more than a week because the people ordering do not know what the fuck they want and it was wracking my nerves waiting to pounce on the right vegetable 6 times in a row with a hefty, glassy-eyed UUUUUHHHHH from our valued customer in between each one.

Being sent to one location for service that tells you you need to go back to the original location for the service is a reason to be a huge cunt. And get back to us when your mom dies asshole.

Honestly you'd think people would know what they wanted on their sandwich.

Fuck people who constantly use acronym jargon.

it sucks that the popularity contest of life doesn't really end in high school.

It's not jargon, dipshit, they're actual names of organizations.

If you don't know what they are, maybe the comment wasn't meant for you.

Lol, WHO NEEDS TO LIE!?!?!?

Dipshit? What orginization is that?

I'm in college working at an oberweiss. Much more chill place and the dishes are super easy, you just dunk the ice cream in warm water and it melts off and you drain the sink. Free ice cream and drinks for employees too.

In all fairness, people like that should be euthanised for the good of the rest of us.

>oberweiss
Not a bad first job. My friends got the torture of dishwashing and the regulations of lifeguarding and I got oberweiss. Compliments to them to providing a great work experience.

ITT: dumb, uneducated, Retailnigger Americans too stupid to even figure out really obvious bait like this. There's a reason you're busting your ass off in jobs designed for 16 year olds.

Do you actually admit to anyone in real life you do these stupid fucking posts daily? DAILY? I mean, would you ever admit to a girl you do this every day?

It's so degrading. I went to school and got a degree, but this is what my life became.

Every day I step into that shithole, I get one step closer to walking straight off the edge of sanity into the abyss of suicide.

Wait wait you're telling me you went to school and still ended up with a shit job? I dropped out and now I'm making 17 an hr to sit on my ass and drive all day... fuck that job bro there is so much better out there

Nice, a summer camp?

I went on from a summer camp in US to work in Canada as a dishie (I'm Aussie).
It started out absolute shit, but I legitimately enjoyed it after awhile.

Had some really cool guys join up, cause we took care of 3-4 different outlets (huge resort) so busy nights we had up to 8 of us on and we would get the tunes going, chefs would give us song requests, so much fun had.

They won't buy a dishwasher if they keep finding retards like OP that do the work anyway.

First off:
Dubs - Checked.

Second:
I probably don't deserve anything nice. I put in effort with a lot of things in my life and nothing has ever gotten better, grew up with a shit life through and through. Maybe I'm just destined to kill myself.
I don't have a goddamn thing going for me. No car, no license, no apartment. Nothing. Just a shitty four figure job that makes me want to eat a bullet.

I think we both know he probably was the queer one. He probably wanter your boy hole. You must be hella cute. Or hes just hella desperate for somethin that aint a hag wife.

I had one of those fagg boy skater haircuts but I wasn't skinny, I was also active in boxing at the time so the gains were there.

So I guess he was just a fat, super gay, redneck retard.
My condolences to you user. Im glad you hocked one into his noodles.
