World's Worst Dish Washer

[Papa]

Dear FontzMark:

I understand your frustration.

How about making this guy's job a little more interesting? Set some achievable daily goals and reward him for achieving them. By evaluating his operation, you might find that you are expecting more than a sole person is capable of giving you. By setting achievable goals with bonuses you will take the boredom away from his job. People love to have something to look to as a target to achieve. A bonus rewarding such achievements is definitely more economical than hiring a second person.

I sympathize with dish washers because they perform a truly important function in kitchen management. A lot depends on how fast or good they are. Their job is monotonus and boring. Setting some goals might bring some excitement into their daily routine.

Nope -- food & beverage workers union -- on a college campus.

Now I do the B&B -- I am my own best (and worst!) dishwaher LOL!

Incentives of any kind are wonderful, Papa. I like that idea a lot. Lynne, do you work at a college too?
