Description
Part of an interview with Mozella Sheds Scott conducted by Claytee D. White on November 30, 2010. Scott describes working in a commercial kitchen and leaving her job to attend Nevada Southern University (UNLV).So did you actually wash all the dishes by hand? No, we didn't wash by hand. These were big machines that we had. They put dishes in the machine. Men would set the dishes in the machine after they had been cleaned by the guys who were in the kitchen. They would rinse them and then we would run them through those sterilizer machines and take them out at the end and stack them the way they were supposed to be stacked. The kitchen was right across the way. We could see the cooks. So were black men in the kitchen? Yes, there were black men, mostly. There were a couple of white guys and different nationalities, too, back there. But they had different shifts. Were the main chefs black or white? They were white, of course. Well, our boss over the dishes and getting all the material in the kitchen was black. Sonny? Sonny; right. He was over the runners, the guys who would go to certain places and get the material they needed and come back. He was real fast. Anyway, we would have fun
