How do you become a good dishwasher in a restaurant?

Dishwasher job at a restaurant--no breaks?

• Hi, So my little brother who is still in high school just got a job at a popular restaurant as a dishwasher. He was so happy to start his first job in a restaurant as his goal is to become a chef after graduation. His first day of work was an 8 hour and 15 minute shift and he only had a 5-minute dinner break where he quickly gobbled up his food, used the washroom, then presumed his dish washing. I thought this was strange because normally aren't you supposed to get one half hour break for an 8 hour shift, and a 15 minute break for each 4 hours you work? He was also told to do some dangerous things like stand on an unstable crate to reach a tall shelf to get a large glass bowl.

• Answer:

  i guess it depends what state youre in. in texas its state law that they have to give you a lunch(30 min) before 6 hours and one break (15min) and if you work 8 hours you get one lunch and two breaks
