For those of you who don't know, in a kitchen, the dishwasher shift-change is akin to the changing of the guards: a highly symbolic ceremony whose importance and necessity is all too often overlooked. Kitchens and societies alike rest on the shoulders of this rite and it is therefore absolutely necessary that this exchange be executed flawlessly.
Earlier this week, as one dish-tech* replaced another, something went awry. Emotions escalated, tensions mounted, and a series of suppressed rants left the mouth of the recently arrived dish-tech in the form of whispered curses and insults.
We suspect that the sabotage was deliberate and premeditated. When PM dish-tech replaced AM dish-tech, he found an excessive amount of unwashed sheet pans, hidden, dirty mixing bowls, an unclean, grimy sink area, overflowing garbage cans, and a backup of dirty silverware and dishes. In short, when PM dish-tech arrived, he was, what we in the business call, in the weeds.
As PM dish-tech cursed and crashed pots and pans around in the sink area with dramatic flourishes, the head pastry-chef turned to him and nonchalantly said, "You just got brochapped."
*Note: Dish-tech is short for dish-technician and is the technical, politically correct term used to describe practitioners of the dish washing arts.
