Nah, it’s more likely that her definition of “zero spice“ differs from the chef’s definition. My late mother would have been like this customer, except that (1) she would never order something with “Thai” in the title because it was bound to be at least somewhat spicy, and (2) she wouldn’t complain rudely, she’d just not eat

There's a local Thai restaurant near where I live. They offer spice on a scale of 0-10 and then Thai. I'd ordered my food thai spice level enough times that I actually got to meet the chef owner who was an older thai woman. She asked me how I like the thai spice and when I said I love it she offered to make my food even spicier if I like when I come in.

I worked at a McDonalds years back. A guy comes through the drive-thru, orders one of the salads and asks for like 20 extra packets of ranch dressing. The salad dressing was Newman's Own and our store was charging like $1-2 extra for each additional dressing packet. He comes up to the window to pay and we ask him if he really wants 20 of them because of the upcharge. He says yes, we try telling him he can get the exact same stuff at the grocery store for far less. No, no he tells us, the packets are completely different than the bottles in the store and he wants the packets regardless of the extra cost. Okay... if you say so.

I was working in this pizzeria during college. Customer asked for extra spicy pizza. I got worried seeing chef's reaction to the request. The pure evil smile.

The move my plate closer and cut the burger in half (ppl should avoid ambiguous phrasing) could be legit IF they had a disability or something making it hard to do those tasks. I'd imagine they'd explain a little, and depending on the circumstances, sometimes restaurants may be able to think of additional accommodations they could offer to help.

[@kmbbmj5857]

The move my plate closer should be pretty common. Most of the Mexican places around here, the plates are scorching hot, and the waiters handle them with mitts, yet will set it well away from the customer. It's either move my plate for me or give me a pair of mitts to move it myself.

[@Gavthecan0905]

I had a cook in my kitchen that was a hot sauce enthusiast. He had one that he wore black gloves when he handled the bottle and it has an eye dropper to pour the sauce. He lived to have people ask for spicy wings. We would warn the customers and let them know that even if they couldn't eat them they had to pay for them. It didn't happen very often, but we would all stop what we were doing and watch him make the sauce ( also included diced habeneros) with a big grin and we would watch the customer from tbe kitchen try to eat them. Stuff like that makes me miss being a chef.

I visit a little barbecue joint out in East Texas that has a "HAF" sauce, and they'll warn you that you're playing with fire. Apparently, they've had all kinds of tough guys who think they can handle hot food, they pour HAF all over their meal, and then they complain that it's too hot. Sure enough, they're using Carolina Reaper peppers that they cultivate themselves, and I'm content with just a few drops on my sandwich, mixed in with their regular sauce.

[@captainwasabi]

I dunno if it's still open but there used to be a BBQ place in redmond WA whose hot bbq sause was called "The Man" and the first time you went you had to Meet the Man. The chef would come out with this pan full of oily red saunce, dip a toothpick into it, and wipe it once across your bbq. It wasn't too hot to eat, but a couple of hours later I had to leave work early as it ate through my intestines.

A little spicy is okay. If I’m suffering through it and can’t taste anything, it’s a no for me. Yes, I’m a white guy 😂. I would never say extra spicy, owner spicy or whatever. Funny scenario (now but not then) we ordered from our go to Asian spot. The new employee took our order and asked a new question no spice, a little spicy or extra spicy. After going back and forth due to a language barrier, we said no spice multiple times. A veteran employee came on and even confirmed everything. They made it extra spicy and we could barely finish everything because it was so spicy hot 🥵. I did not taste much flavor, just spicy! If that’s all I’m tasting and I’m in pain, I don’t want spicy.

People who can't handle spice but ask for ultra-spicy... Don't try to brag if you can't deliver. And I know my spiciness, I once ate about 3 ml of Mad Dog Plutonium, "only" at 9 million of the Scoville scale... for reference, pure Capsaicin (the "spicy" component) is at 16 million, the spiciest hybrid peppers are at 2-2.5 million (I grow my own Carolina Reapers), and Habanero peppers are usually at 100k Scoville but can go up to 250k depending on a few factors, and there are some challenge food like the Lil' Nitro and the Paqui One Chip Challenge that are at about 3 million Scoville. To be fair, eating that little bit of Plutonium sauce was when I encountered the avatar of the undiluted essence of pure pain... but I powered through it without milk, even if I was out of commission for about 20-30 minutes, even if it felt MUCH longer. I also ate the Lil' Nitro in front of friends, and boy was it intense, but this time I took milk after 10 minutes because I wanted to do other things that evening... So anyways, if you haven't tried Habanero or higher, don't ask for a 6/5 (although to be fair, in a few regions like Japan or most of the United States, a 6/5 could be a piri-piri or something like that). What could have helped the situation would have been the guy asking "hey, how would [insert favourite sauce or a sauce at the level he wants the spiciness] rate from one to five?", that way the server could have said its relative rating (most of the time less than 3), or the server could have asked the same after the customer said that 6/5, and that way everyone would have been happy.

Never order food at max spicy unless you're freakishly tolerant. Like, eating raw habanero because you enjoy it freakish.

@ WRONG!!!! As a CUSTOMER, they LITERALLY DO WORK FOR ME!!! I’m not saying that they should make a meal that isn’t on the menu, but they should be able to CUSTOMIZE THE MEAL! Some people like it HOT, some people NOT! If you want to KEEP CUSTOMERS, then this is EXACTLY how you do it! If you don’t then people won’t come back because the food was either too spicy or not spicy enough. It’s a pretty simple concept.

Yes you are wrong indeed. Are you paying their insurance and taxes on them? No? Are you paying their salary? No? Then they dont work for you. You are a customer not an employer. Two VERY different things. You are buying a ready-made product. Any and all customizations to it are an aditional service (be it free or not). Its like you buying a fridge and then saying you want it neon purple because you have "a different taste". Its up to them wheter or not they wanna provide that additional service to you.

@ Irrelevant, if you want to have customers come back, then they need to make a little effort.

I went to a restaurant the used the hot pepper scale instead. It seemed effective. The question is more what is the hottest pepper you usually eat.
