So I worked at a resturant/movie theater as a dishwasher that was open really really late sometimes. Most nights that I closed I had to wait to turn off, drain and clean out the dish machine because it took a little for the busser to collect every dish from every theater. This guy was buddy buddy with management and treated me and other dishies as below him. More often then not I would be told “this should be the last of it” by someone bringing dishes late, but it was never true. I got in the habit of asking if they’re sure or if I should wait.
Well this particular night he wasn’t feeling very patient, and when I asked if that was really everything, he cut me off saying “shut it down NOW!” before quickly leaving the kitchen. It seemed too early in my opinion but hey, he seemed quite agitated and I wanted to go home. So I drained the machine and cleaned it out, then shut down the rest of the dish pit. By the time I was done and the manager was checking me out, I see him meekly bagging up 2 full bus tubs of dishes.
Dude never even made eye contact with me again while I worked there.
