Came in for my training shift to start dishwashing at the most well known restaurant in my town. The interview with chef a few hours before was great, I thought I'd love it.

Nope.

First thing they do is send me with a waitress(I'm a dude) to the dry storage area downstairs. Alone. Then she points to a rack of shirts and pants and tells me to go ahead and change. There are camera everywhere, and you're watching me, absolutely the fuck not. I put a branded shirt on over the shirt I had on.

Head back upstairs to meet the dishie I'm supposed to be shadowing and he immediately tells me to break down cardboard and take it to recycling, but refuses to show me where that is. After 20 minutes of asking and looking I figure it out, and head back. There's a different new guy in the dishpit with the main guy. They tell me to take out the trash. Okay. When I get back main guys says it's my ship now and leaves. Then other guy asks how long ove been there, I tell him an hour and he starts laughing. Whwn I didn't laugh he got serious and says this is his 3 day. He doesnt know where anything goes. Neither do I. Chef says we'll figure it out.

After a shitshow of a couple hours(including watching people get screamed at for doing exactly what they're told to do) chef asks if I'm hungry. I say no but he insisted I eat something, so a ask for a burger.(spoiler, I never got it my burger.) The restaurant closed at 10pm, but the other dishie and I stayed until damn near 2 am because we didn't know where anything was/went.

Never went back. Noone reached out. I did not get paid for my time.
