On a scale of 9-10, how white are you?

>>21108428
I'm not white but I have some white ancestry, and look racially ambgiuous. I guess maybe 6?

Did you ask them to make it Thai spicy?

>>21108414
Sadly actual Thai spicy and the secret menu with the actual good Thai food rather than the thai government sanctioned one all Thai restaurants are forced to have (real, look it up) is gatekept and you have to learn Thai to unlock it.
Honestly just be polite and say that they made it mild and you want more heat. I've never worked with or met a cook who doesn't get a little enjoyment over being able to make a dish spicier. Although some places are really just using pepper flakes and shit to increase heat. Find a places that use fresh thai/bird chili and you'll be set. Call and ask if you care enough.

>>21108448
Yes, "Thai Spicy" was the hottest option on the menu. Maybe next time I'll use scotch tape to pull the corners of my eyes back so they think I'm Asian.. but honestly I think the problem is that Thai food just isn't that hot..

>>21108464
Try going to a place that hates white people. If you keep going to the place that regularly gets retarded mixed race zoomers (like you) demanding the spiciest thing ever only to have a disruption in the dining room and often failure to pay the bill, go to a racist place. Maybe stick to your own people's cuisine. (lmao)

>>21108414
They are simply afraid you will send it back and then not pay for your order, sadly. Just ask for an additional side of chopped chilies!

>>21108414
Kek I have a story about this.
>get kicked out of school and get my first “real job” BOH at a Thai restaurant
>owner is insanely cheap
>paid cash and forced to take a shift meal, docked from pay
>if you don’t bring your own container owner deducts another couple dollars for having to give you one that’s “for customers”
>job sucks
>they just let all dishes from lunch service pile up and then you have to go in and do a whole day’s worth of dishes in 4 hours when they open for dinner
>but there is an upside
>whenever someone orders hot, or thai hot, the owner/ chef looks out of the kitchen and sizes them up
>”oh no, he look like little bitch. he get medium.”
>every. fucking. time.
>turns out they were afraid of people returning the food because it was too spicy (I guess that happened at some point before my brief tenure there)
>i am forced to buy a shift meal
>i cannot return it
>i finally get to taste ACTUAL Thai hot, and then double Thai hot
>owner is amazed i’m able to tolerate it
I remember crying while sitting on some steps and eating while waiting for my ride in the brutal cold, soaking wet from the dish pit and thinking “yes, finally. This is what I’ve always been asking for.”
When I quit I made sure I left on good terms, and now I have a Thai place in town where I can get legitimately spicy food, it’s fucking awesome.
It’s been more than a decade and they still remember me :,)

another notable story about their cheapness was this one day when my friend (who got me the job) complained that he was hungry while we were working.
The owner then produced a folded up movie theater popcorn bag that she just carried around ON HER PERSON AT ALL TIMES I GUESS, gave it to him and said “free refills. do not lose. you never come work hungry again.”

>>21108483
>>21108489
Fuck it- at this point we should find a lawyer and draft up a binding contract with some blank places for restaurant names that simply says “I will not return this food if it’s too spicy. Please fuck me up.”
Everyone can print some off to keep in their car and we can end this nonsense, I’m so tired of it.

Also what the fuck that second one is hysterical.

Basically none of them if you're not part of the same ethnicity and even then you usually have to actually know the language to get the good shit.

>>21108496
… This just made me imagine a Craigslist post something along the lines of “straight white male looking for PLATONIC ______ ethnicity friend to order _____ food for me so it will actually be spicy. Pls respond.”

>>21108483
It's just shitty gatekeeping which is shitty customer service the end of the day. That's just bad cooking. I ended up just telling people no refunds for Thai spicy orders and never had problems after.

I did give people milk for free if they ordered Thai spicy and ended up visibly near death from the heat though. Props for trying, better luck next time.

>>21108489
>“free refills. do not lose. you never come work hungry again.”

What every anon already said - Thai restaurants won't serve really spicy shit, unless they know you. Too many pussys have started sceaming, pissing themselves and refused to pay. Go there a few times and when they ask you how the food was, say it was good, but not very spicy.

>>21108464
you have to tell them "thai hot, but seriously, i want it spicy". they want to avoid making food for someone whose just gonna bitch and demand their money back.

Just say phed mak retard

>>21108636
What does phed mak retard mean in thai?

>>21108589
That's not fair. Those people should be shoved into a pool of razor blades coated in habanero sauce for ruining it for the rest of us. The absolute gall of sending food back for being too spicy when you asked for it too spicy. The audacity.

>>21108660
Phed = spicy mak = a lot

>>21108676
It’s hard out here for a honkey, mane.
Then again… If my greatest personal struggle due to racism is that I can’t get food as spicy as I’d like at a restaurant, I’d reckon my life isn’t actually that difficult.
Makes one think.

>>21108489
holy fucking lel

>>21108489
Checking on muh post, I’ll try and remember other weird cheap shit she did.
I always thought it was bold that fucking PRINTED ON THE MENU it said 10% cash discount lol
Place is still there though, so, bold as they may be, they’re being smart about it, I guess.
I should specify that (in my first post) those were tears of joy, I was not crying because work and life sucked.
They both did, but those were tears of absolute joy (and spice).
Tell me anons, would you pay your dues?
I’m thinking about how very grateful I am to be able to get true double-thai-hot food in my town even though I look like I belong in a fucking Patagonia catalogue, and how what I did as a vagrant youth is possible for nearly anyone.
Assuming anyone here has a job.
If not, skip step one!
>build up sick leave and/or vacation from work, or lie saying you must go take care of an ailing family member
>or just fucking quit idc
>go ask your local thai restaurant if you can wash dishes for them part-time (this will make it suck a little less)
>each day, order a shift meal requesting no-fucking-joke spice levels
>do that for 1-3 months until you can’t take it anymore
>all the while enjoying delicious, truly fucking spicy food
>leave on good terms, maybe say the doc said your back was fucked up and that type of labor was making it worse
>but
>say that you’ll be back for the delicious food and to support their business
>thank them genuinely for finally making food spicy enough after enduring years of misjudgment
It’s not convenient, or even rational.
However, it is possible.
I’m simply sharing the path I took to ensure that gnarly, ugly-cri-hot food be available to me.
This whole thread is people carrying on about
>muh spice not spicy ;-; i am so sick of this bullshit!
It is within your grasp, but first you must pay your dues.
Does anyone here actually want it that bad?

anon did you work there for 1-3 months but unable to cook it yet? what were you doing?

>>21108432
show hand

I've said that if it's not spicy enough I won't come back when i ordered thai spicy at a couple of different places and they gave me the real shit not the white boy special. It is annoying as fuck to get the mild spicy when you ask for the extra hot.

Ugly bug eyed bitch.

>>21108414
>1: they won't provide spicy food if you don't order it in Thai
>2: they don't want people to return it if it's too hot
>3: that actually is their hottest level and "poc" are just little bitches about spice themselves.

Combinations of 1 and 2, or is 3 the truth that nobody wants to hear? That's right, you fucking faggots who jerk themselves off about Thai and other "hot" foods. You'll never know true hotness. I'm calling you out.

If the cook won't make it spicy for you do it yourself
>Beaner joint: ask for extra hot sauce on the side
>Pho joint: add shitloads of that chili flake paste and jalapenos

>>21108414
They lied to you bud, they gave you something with 3/10 spiciness so you don't sue them or something. Or because the waiter though you couldn't handle it.

>>21109183
washing dishes, can't you read?

>>21108414
I had some basedly spicy Laosin the other day. Extra-spicy larb. Mmm.

If you're looking for hot, I'd look for the people in town who most recently moved from their country/make the most authentic food and build a relationship. Thai food is often pretty whitewashed in (((this))) country, sadly.

>>21108589
>go to thai noodle place
>they do a 0-5 scale
>ask for like 2/5 spicy because I wanted a little kick but I'm not a masochist

I know I'm white as fuck, but still.

>>21109183
he was probably on drugs or something, the story is fake anyway

>>21108676
Anon, in the US, they could probably get sued, if it's really hot and some dumbfuck starts choking. I am NOT making a joke. When Thai food really gets its groove on, it'll make the fucking contact lenses fall out of your eyes.

>>21109183
It was/ is an authentic Thai restaurant, and I was a white kid that just got kicked out of high school (despite having a 3.8 GPA, I was a real pain in the ass).
It was literally my first actual job.
Of course they wouldn’t let me cook, they took great pride in their food.
Even if they did, I’d imagine even the slightest fuckup would’ve cost me my job because it lost them money.
Her and her husband kept trying to get me to work FOH as a server because I’m apparently “very handsome it a waste for you to be back here, good for business out there,” but I was too nervous.
>>21110698
My dude, I got the job so I could pay to take the Good Enough Diploma.
I was just a broke as fuck kid who washed dishes for his first job, how hard is that to believe?
Did you think I got kicked out of college?
Wait a minute… Did YOU get kicked out of college because you were “on drugs or something?”
We can talk about it.
See my previous posts for a great way to turn your life around.
To be candid, I did smoke cigarettes- but that was the only way they’d let me have a break.
Haven’t thought about Camel Turkish Royals in a while, damn.

>>21111338
Thai dishie anon here seconding that like a motherfucker.
It’s like your eyes are sweating.
It’s so fucking good, though.

>>21111422
Looking back on it, I really should’ve taken them up on the FOH training.
I would’ve made way more money and they would’ve put up with me screwing up because they so desperately wanted me out front, I could’ve used that training to get a better job elsewhere.
That dish job started a long and storied career of BOH work (I did eventually work my way up to sous for a really great head chef elsewhere) that was ultimately thankless and fucked up my back something gnarly.
Despite being very personable and confident, for some reason FOH work makes me nervous as shit especially now that I’m pushing 30.
I feel like it’s too late to start.
But like, waiting tables part time at a nice place while working on my degree doesn’t sound half bad.
There’s a lot less responsibility and it seems as though you can bounce around with little to no guilt.
When I work BOH I feel a legitimate responsibility to both my staff and my work and it just absorbs my fucking life.
Part of the reason I’ve tried so hard to get away from it after all these years.

>>21108625
it's not OPs fault that thai food exists, and the way thai people make it for themselves is super spicy, but not for him. Sounds like went by himself, too so who would he be pleasing at for attention? The story is a common occurrence. bro just wants it authentic ffs

Protip: I started ordering in shitty stuttery broken gringo spanish at the local taco shop, and the foods been fresher, spicier, and larger portions ever since. They just naturally stopped giving me the yellow cheese and only the cojita. Fresh pico in the guac too. One time free machaca on my tostada, didn't even ask. They appreciate it, guys. No efforts too small

>>21108414
OP, no one has addressed a differrent variable yet. What is your appearance? Are you getting great service and food satisfaction? There are subtle and passive aggressive ways that restaurants have to keep customers or ensure they probably don't come back. If this is not a variable, the next time you go, make sure you are ordering something that should be hot, and then say that last time you were there, you could have enjoyed it more if it were even hotter, and then ask for a small side of sliced chilies to use as your own garnish.

>>21108414

It's really not that hot, you people exaggerate. Get a grip. No food is going to kill you from being too hot, you're just a pussy. Just eat it.

>>21113046
Yeah, I don't care if it's too hot and YOU don't care, but there are a LOT of whiny bitches out there who will scream about anything, at the drop of a hat. That's just the way it is. Even Mexican restaurants have become careful.

>>21108414
Hey frens, so here's an honest question, no troll. First, let's all acknowledge the memes,
>ethnic restaurant is capable of making super spicy food
>but they won't make it for wypipo because lol wypipo
OK, with that out of the way, how often do ethnics THEMSELVES actually ask for the food "ethnic spicy"? I ask because one of my local "ethnic" joints will do it, zero fucks given, but they also act like you're a little crazy. Are people in the "old country" actually eating food that hot every day. Or is it mostly a thing for little boys trying to prove themselves, just like on Reddit? (Feel free to fill in your own definition of "ethnic", Indian, Thai, Irish, hobbits, ewoks, whatever.)

>>21113076
They just want something to pretend to be superior about because whites dominate them in every other aspect of being. Fact is whites can handle more spice, though.
