What do you need to do the task?
Brown dish rack with glassware compartments.
Water goblet boxes.
Step-By-Step
1. Place the brown dish rack with glassware compartments on the dishwasher counter.
2. As water goblets are bussed from the Main Hall (see "Bussing Main Hall During Dancing"), dump the water in the opaque pitcher on the dishwasher counter.
3. If you notice lipstick stains, send them to the bar for the bar back to hand wash.
4. If water goblets are chipped or cracked, place them in the "sharps" container on the floor to the left of the dishwasher counter.
5. Place the empty water goblets upside down in each compartment of the dish rack.
6. When the dish rack is full with empty water goblets, push the dish rack into the center of the dishwasher and close the doors to begin the dishwasher cycle (see "Sending Glassware Through the Dishwasher").
7. Once the cycle is complete pull the dish rack out of the dishwasher onto the left dishwasher counter.
8. As the water goblets are cooling and drying, bring the empty water goblet boxes from the shelves in the Dinnerware Closet to the kitchen island.
9. Once the water goblets have cooled and dried slightly, place them upside down into their respected cardboard boxes.
10. Fill the boxes and replace them on the first shelf, 3rd from the bottom, in the Dinnerware Closet.
11. If all the boxes fill up but there are still water goblets to put away, walk the dish rack into the Dinnerware Closet and carefully place each water goblet upside down on the shelf to the left of the water goblet boxes.
12. If space is limited, carefully stack the water goblets. The mouth of the water goblet that is being stacked should be placed evenly across the bases of two adjacent water goblets below. The layer of water goblets on the bottom MUST be the same height, or else the stacked water goblet will sit unevenly and could fall off and shatter.
What does “done right” look like?
Water goblets are sent through the dishwasher after the dinnerware and flatware have been washed and put away.
Water goblet boxes are stacked neatly back on their shelf once fill with clean water goblet.
Water goblets are stacked carefully and neatly on the shelf, ensuring that the goblets on the bottom layer are even heights.
Water goblets with lipstick stains are hand washed at the bar.
Chipped or cracked water goblets are discarded in the "sharps" container to the left of the dishwasher counter.
