r/dishwashers

At a golf club. Anyways im I a loser that im at this old of an age go back to dishwashing? I live in europe.

Im also going to do online school in the meantime.

Just became a dishwasher and I'm struggling hardcore, I was told during my interviews there would be 2 dishwashers on weekends, and that was a lie. I'm the only dishwasher on weekends 4-close. My first day was a sunday and even with my trainer, we got our asses kicked. Dishwashers don't get breaks either, there's no deep sink for soaking things either (I'm used to triple sink set up), because of that, some things have to be ran through like 2-3 times which backs me up even more.

The workload is a LOT more than I was anticipating. I have already started applying elsewhere, but i gotta stick it out until then.

How do I not get so overwhelmed?

Ever since we had a unfortunate (SA) incident in one of the bathrooms my job decided to set up cameras inside. The cameras are pointed towards the sinks and bathroom entrance, but I just don't feel comfortable with this. They even hidden them somewhat by putting a bathroom paintings over them.

Any mental advice on how to get through it? I had my first weekend shift alone for 2.5 hours last saturday, it was stressful as shit. Dishes kept piling up forever, and I need to know if it’s always gonna be that way or it’s just about making sure the mountain doesn’t overflow until backup comes
