This is really weird I know but I need an answer.

So I got hired at this new job it's only a dishwashing position and making way less then I want but needed the job theres so many steps to getting this job which is understandable but after hiring me they're now asking for references which I honestly dont have never had to use them in my life. But I'm hired why am I now being asked for references for a low ass position. Sorry for the language I'm just appalled.
