This is generally a local code thing. We do not require it in our area and a loop is acceptable. Check with your code guy!
You did not give a starting price. So, I will use $100 because it is easy to see how it is calculated with that amount. First, you deduct 15% from $100 to get the sale price of $85. Next, you deduct 20% of $85 to get the employees price of $68.

Can a dishwasher washed Kitchen Aid Hard Anodized pot be salvaged or it is ruined for sure?
Appearance wise, it is permanently spoiled. But its utility should be unaffected. Normally the outside of the pot will be discolored badly from chemical reaction with the dishwasher detergent, but the interior of the pot is typically unaffected, and so you can still cook with it just as before. You can improve the appearance to some extent with hard scrubbing, removing the cloudy oxidation - but you are dealing with an unprotected aluminum surface, and it will soon revert back to the cloudy discolored appearance. http://www.ehow.com/how_4547989_clean-tarnish-from-aluminum.html

Does your dishwasher kill bacteria?
Yes. The combination of detergents and very hot water, for cleaning, will kill almost all bacteria. Bacterial counts should be negligible after proper washing, rinsing and drying, thus not affecting health adversely.
Not sure what you mean by dishwasher vent hole, but you probably mean the air gap fitting. Some dishwashers connect directly to the disposal, with the tube going up a little to prevent stuff from going back to the dishwasher. But as for removing the air gap fitting, if you have it already, it may depend on where you are. California plumbing code requires a dishwasher air gap fitting above the flood level rim, even if you have a disposer, but I'm not sure if the national code also requires. In any case, if a code requires it, it may be a good idea not to remove the air vent. I would check your local code. You may want to consider a faucet with a built in sprayer instead.
Do this. Pour baking soda into both sinks until baking soda can be seen in the drain. Pour white vinegar into the baking soda. It will foam massively, so step back. Keep pouring vinegar into the baking soda until it quits foaming. Rinse with hot water. That should cure the smell issue...and make the drain run faster too!
I use Jet Dry in my dishwasher to help. I have also been told that if you put too much plastic in the dishwasher, it won't get as hot during the drying cycle. That leaves water on dishes and spots. I was told that by a dishwasher repairman. It does seem to make a difference. <><><> There is a new product out that actually filters the water going into your dishwasher. I used to have ugly, white and cloudy looking glasses until I installed this product. After the first load my glasses looked fantastic!!!! It's affordable too.
