But if you had to work at the food industry wouldn't you rather not clean others plates ?
I bet everyone wouldnt want to do their job if they could.
But its their job, so they do it.
If you worked as truck driver, wouldnt you want to not have to live in your truck? And unload it? The consumer can do that, for the same price of course.
You don’t usually unload or load your own trailer.
In my country thats part of their job, unless they are doing inner-company transport maybe.
That’s crazy. I would rather have the people who work the equipment every day do it.
I have been 1 or 2 places that didn’t do it, but they had people there that you hire to do it.
It really sucks from what i have seen.
They are also only paid on the road, so having to load/unload is kinda unpaid time (of course partly compensated via the time they do get paid)
But depending on the items.. worse pay essentially, because more items or difficult ones does not equal higher compensation.
You can get dock time if the place takes a while to get to you, but that original wait time is factored into the job bid
I used to do those dishes.
You scrape over, more likely knock it against, a trash can to get it all off and then, spray, rinse, machine.
The kitchen dishes were bad, customer dishes weren’t shit.
Finally someone with real life experiance what would you say if what i said came into fruition would you say it was for the better or worse ?
It wouldn’t really matter to be honest.
I would rather people just have a good time and not worry about it. It takes less than 5 seconds and people are already paying a lot just for the food.
Sit back, kick back, and enjoy
This is such a a weird thing to focus on. You are projecting your own idea that these jobs are degrading and you fail to think about why these are jobs in the first place.
Sanitization is a massive reason why you don't have people doing their own dishes at restaurants. There is a process that needs to be followed and restaurants are required to follow to ensure pathogens don't end up on clean plates/etc.
Take your average person who dines at a restaurant and expect them to know these rules, and follow them, is insanely idealistic, but no company would ever even try to implement it due to the risks.
You have an unrealistic and idealistic view of this situation. Along with that, who are you to determine what is degrading? What about sanitation workers who pick up the weekly trash? Custodians who clean restrooms? The list goes on forever.
No one i specifically said its my own view and asked for others opinion
There's plenty of things at my job I'd rather not do. But that's not how jobs work.
