A dishwasher even took his apron off, yelling out, “I’m outta here! I quit!” according to the New York Post. But, the worker whose friend texted him the numbers called his wife, who said they should double-check the numbers. That’s when they realized the numbers were from the wrong day. The dishwasher who threatened to quit laughed and put his apron back on, saying, “Back to work.”
