Any females that have been a dishwasher?

I’m not technically a dishwasher but i do them a lot still at the restaurant i work at. It’s obviously not the best job but i actually don’t mind it and find it nice to just focus on washing the dishes and keeping to yourself. I’m considering trying to be a dishwasher at another place but i wanna know if any females here have been a dishwasher?

After my divorce, because I love to cook and because I had some minor catering experience, I decided to try my hand at working in a restaurant. I lasted through the 6 week training, and for about 3 weeks after that. I couldn't deal with the back pain.

I washed dishes when they were all dirty and I needed a certain sized pan, and I can tell you that if you wash dishes without being forced to do it, you are lowering yourself in the pecking order. Big mistake. The restaurant where I worked was small, and we had to do the dishes by hand, even the frying baskets.

I also worked at a cafeteria as a volunteer, and they had a nice dishwasher set up. No stigma there.
