would you wash dishes for minimum wage?

Answer 1

Depends on how hungry me or my family was?

Answer 2

Personally, I wouldn't right now because I have a better job in management that pays more. However, it hasn't been that long ago (less than 1 year) that I went back to the same McDonald's restaurant where I had been in management about 2-1/2 years ago but this time I practically begged for a crew position at minimum wage because at the time I couldn't find anything (much less anything better) and I had a family to feed, clothe, and house.
Also, washing dishes isn't that hard of a job, so they're not going to pay very much. It's a personal thing though: can you afford to be picky about a job/the pay? If not, take what's there and look for something better with more money while you are at least making money. If you can, then hang out until the right job and pay come along.
I've had WAY worse jobs than that in my lifetime! And it always seems that job opportunities come along when you have a job but not when you're unemployed.

Answer 3

Let me tell you a story. I used to wash dishes for minimum wage. You know? And I thought it be no future, you know? But after few years, they made me assistant to the Chef. A few years later, the Chef left and I was the Chef. I changed their poor-excuse-for-a-menu, more customers came, the owners made me partner and I own part of the restaurant now. So wash dishes for minimum wage, whaddya think?

Answer 4

No. I wouldn't settle for less than a serving job at minimum wage. You make tips and get hours. Washing dishes is monotonous and embarrassing.

Answer 5

When I was young with no real marketable skills to speak of? YES! If you have any experience doing anything, you might want to look at other options. Don't overprice what you are worth, but don't under price yourself either. There is nothing wrong with a low paying job for those who are just getting started, or even those who are not necessarily young, but who are starting over.

Answer 6

I would start at minimum wage but I would want a raise later

Answer 7

I sure would,there is nothing better than having a honest paying job,,because at the end of the week when u collect your wage u would have earned it.'knowing u can rest at nights.'

Answer 8

I've done it. I've done whatever I needed to do to keep a roof over my head and food on my table, even if it was a lousy roof and extremely boring food like beans and rice 7 days a week.

You do what you need to do. You can always look for something better on your days off, or train for something better on those days off.

If people are capable of working and refuse a job because they're too good for it or they don't like the salary, I have no sympathy for them when they need a few bucks. I'm always willing to help out somebody who is capable and TRYING, but not somebody who is capable and just sitting back waiting for everybody to take care of them because of their "pride". Ya know?

Answer 9

Been there,done that, not going back. It's called a first job. You know, something to pay the bills while you further your education or work on getting a real job with opportunity for advancement.

Answer 10

I would if I needed a job and that was the one I found........nothing wrong with washing dishes.

Answer 11

I wouldn't but I also wouldn't expect much more than that if I was looking for a job as a dish washer.
