I used to work for a South Philly Italian eatery (not the ones you're thinking of), and one day during hard dish labor I asked as manager if they could say least ask the other employees to stack them properly since it's all in the ground. He looked at me and said: “this is the way it's been fine for 22 years, also you're just a dishwasher.”
Now I walked away and found a new job the next day. 2 weeks go by and I went to get my last check. They say you gotta talk to the boss(him), he puts my check on the table and his hands over it asking: “what? No 2 weeks notice? I tell him: no I'm just a dishwasher. He says yeah with a big shit eating grin. I retort with, well I shouldn't be that hard to replace as the grin subsides.
I was the only dish and prep cook btw
