I have been a dishwasher for one day and i hate it, got any ideas on how to quit?

Question

Yesterday was my first time as a dishwasher, the training was horrible only because the guy who trained me was busy cooking (great guy but job consisted of little training.) I was basically forced into this job by my mother, and i regret filling out the application. I have not been able to sleep because i worry a lot. I dont nessecarily need a job right now.. i am 16 and rather do good in school. the job was very hectic, had to stand for hours, too much stuff to do and not much help on how to do it, i ended up being the last employee to leave and i didnt do all i was supposed to. i dont want to go back today to work again.

I dont really care about the $37.50 i made yesterday, i just want to get out of the job and look for one thats less stressful (not so much to do at on time.)

Im not good under pressure.

please help, i dont wnat to send in a 2 week notice because i dont wnat to ever work there again, its too stressful. what do i do? :(

Answer 1

Your first paragraph tells nearly word for word of my experience.Every minute that went by that first day I kept thinking"I Hate This Job!,I'm taking off this apron & walking out!"I never hated anything so much as those rows & rows of bus pans with dirty dishes,my aching back from leaning over that sink,that slow dish washing machine & it's constant steam in my face.People yelling at me that they were running out of coffee cups,etc.Oh yea my Mom was so proud of getting me that job.

I was the last one out.I dragged my tired body home to bed.And then came day 2,& I still felt the same way.I hated it,but my friend told me to try & beat that hate by changing my mind.He said use your minds energy to turn it around.Keep repeating to yourself that you will be the best dishwasher that restaurant ever had.So I did this over & over again in my mind,& would give not 100% but 110%! It got easier,I quickly was promoted up the line,paid my way through school,always had nice clothes,money & a nice car.I stayed for 10 years leaving as a Manager.I took a year off of relaxation,& went onto a new career.I now know a lot about life & am highly respected in the food service industry by millionaire Restaurateurs.You can get over the stress,it will get easier as you go along & you'll make friends who'll help.You won't always wash dishes & with a good attitude you'll go far!
