Getting scammed sucks. Especially when it leaves you with a growling stomach. So to give you an idea of what to look out for, we at Bored Panda compiled a list of pictures, depicting the moments when people received not what they thought they had ordered.
These include sad sandwiches, minimum-effort pizzas, missing ingredients, and so much disappointment that you can almost hear Gordon Ramsay cursing "Bloody hell, what a disaster!" Bon appétit

What I Ordered From Panera vs. What I Got
Tried Panera twice at two different locations, disappointed twice, not going back.
Load More Replies...Probably USA. Other countries do it too (some) but the gross difference between the fast food marketing photos and what you are actually served is just horrendous. I'd like to see a law where the menu pictures have to use random items that actually get served to customers. Fast food lobby would whine claiming, "But the food we actually serve looks s****y and won't sell product!" -- Also shout out to Japan for being one of the countries where often what is shown on the package / ad is what you actually get.
I think they're going to get worse, too. I just read an article saying Panera's CEO was okay sacrificing quality for higher profits. Seems pretty obviously short term as profits will go down once your loyal customers stop frequenting your store becuase the food got worse for the same price.
That CEO is birds-of-a-feather with Boeing's David Calhoun.
Load More Replies...Who made that? Me? (Cuz im really bad at preparing and cooking food)
I only have these photos as evidence. If it did arrive that way, send it back.
I'm sure I'm going to be saying this a lot in this article but this is at the top of the list as of my reading, so, don't just accept what you get and post it online to p**s and moan about it. Stand up for yourself, demand a remake or refund. Otherwise, that's on you for accepting s**t like this.
Picture Of The Flatbread Pizza On The Online Menu vs. What Was Delivered. Room Service In An Expensive Chicago Hotel
Just missing the marinara sauce and Mozzarella cheese...swing and a miss!
Load More Replies...Not even remotely the same. The leaves aren't the same and the one received doesn't have any meat or sauce. Millennials, we must learn to complain.
Tomatoes and olives on a cracker??? Is that what I'm looking at???
No sun dried tomatoes, no fresh basil. I'm wondering if they ordered it no cheese and no sauce?
Of course, running a safe and smooth restaurant operation is no small feat, and, yes, life happens. But this doesn't give a business an excuse to serve whatever subpar meal they choose.
Rick Camac, the director of industry relations at the Institute of Culinary Education and a restaurant industry expert with over 20 years of experience says there are three cleanliness red flags that make him immediately leave an establishment.
First, hats and gloves aren’t worn in the kitchen at all times. According to Camac, these kitchen essentials act as a barrier between ready-to-eat food and bare skin or hair contact which can easily contaminate it. Furthermore, gloves help prevent cross-contamination and the spread of foodborne illnesses.

I'm pretty sure this is an attempt at a carbonara pizza, using an alfredo sauce instead of a tomato base.
Load More Replies...At least it's got cheese. But, what's that blue dot on it? (bottom left-hand corner?) Ew..
How could they even let that go out for delivery?! That looks horrible!
I mean... I wouldn't choose it, but it's got a decent-looking crust, a lot of cheese and while I would prefer some kind of vegetable over the meaty bits, it's probably edible. Wonder why they didn't let the cheese get a bit darker and bubblier, though.
Ordered A Caesar Salad For $15 From One Of The Local Restaurants
Second, the bathrooms aren't clean and neat. Walking into a dirty restroom can easily kill your appetite. What’s more, Camac believes that cleanliness in the "front of the house," aka the customer-facing side of a restaurant, is just as important as the "back of the house," aka the kitchen — he thinks that one often is a reflection of the other.
"A sure sign that your kitchen is dirty and in disarray is if you see similar signs in the front of the house or bathroom. I will not return to a venue that has a dirty bathroom. It should be maintained often in a busy venue,” Camac told Well+Good.
This Is What You Get When You Order "No Lettuce" At Taco Bell
Taco Bell used to be good when the tacos were 59 cents but now they are just terrible.
Years and years ago I worked at a TB in Texas. Now, I understand these are franchises and probably don't reflect the main TB rules, BUT...my boss would not let us open a bag of the newer, greener looking lettuce until we got rid of the slightly brown lettuce on the line and the slightly brown lettuce still in unopened bags in the cooler. So, having said that, I still go to TB but I will not have lettuce on anything.

Cheese And Tomato Bagel From My Collage Cafe
I'm actually having a harder time dealing with the fact that a college student misspelled "college".
As a Jew from New York, whose ancestors invented the Bagel, that is not a bagel by any standard. 1) it has no hole. 2) the texture is way way off for a bagel, you can literally see the crumb formation and know this is not a bagel.
Maybe be more concerned with the basic spelling of “college” rather than the lack of a hole in the “bagel.”
Load More Replies...What My College Deems Acceptable For A $9.50 Pizza
I am skeptical. That is obviously a slice box. Is there really some college charging 10 bucks per slice? Even if it didn't look like nasty overcooked frozen pizza - GOOD pizza doesn't sell for $10 / slice in places like college cafeterias. And if I'm wrong about that - even more sad.
All their your tuition money has to go towards the sports programs, not your silly food lol
Food plans (frequently required) are on top of tuition and none of the dollars can go to Athletics. I am in University accounting and people would go to jail if we tried it.

The bigger issue is they think they can charge $9.50 for one slice of pepperoni pizza.

Load More Replies...Third, the server, runner, and busser’s uniforms are not neat and well-maintained. Camac claims that restaurant employees should also maintain a high level of personal cleanliness due to the obvious fact that they have direct contact with what they’ll be eating.
Because of that, uniforms should be clean and staff members should be washing their hands repeatedly throughout the day. Any effort to avoid the spread of germs or contamination of food is critical in Camac's book. If that's not the case, it’s a no-go for the expert.

Load More Replies...Didn't know what Carbonara was. Googled it. That is most definitely not what Carbonara is. Plus looking at what it supposed to look like, it made me hungry.
5-star uber does not mean the restaurant is any good. for all you know bots upped the rating.
Camac also shared the green flags that should reassure you that you're at the right place. First, neat, clean, and sanitized work areas. This may sound obvious, but places should "clean and sanitize work stations and utensils after each task or periodically—no less than two to three times per day," he said, adding that a deep clean of the kitchen at least once per month is also necessary.

It's INSANELY cheaper than real cheese, especially if you're a commercial kitchen buying wholesale. A concession stand can turn out 8-10 orders of nachos using that stuff for every order using real cheese.

That's Just Plain Insulting
That is atrocious but, at the same time, if you went to an establishment that doesn't offer vegan dishes and asked them to make you something that doesn't exist on the menu, I can respect the troll. Being vegan doesn't make you elite and entitled to anything. "Asked them if they could do a vegan starter"..if there was a vegan starter on the menu you wouldn't have had to ask for it and nobody needed to come up with one for you. You chose the wrong restaurant.
Looks like wasabi with cilantro or parsley. Too small for me to tell.
Second, clean, well-maintained, and up-to-date menus. They tend to get a lot of exposure and hands-on time, so Camac believes it’s important to ensure they're clean, well-maintained, and consistently up-to-date with what’s being served, as they're a reflection and representation of the care a restaurant staff is putting into what they do.
Paid $9 For This. Speechless
you'd pay 15 to have that social marker on your coffee table : "look, i've paid 10 bucks for this tiny pizza, i'm so wealthy & spoiled, please subscribe"

NEver ask for grits of any kind in the North. They only do instant and honestly do not know what they are doing Order polenta instead. It is llike 98% the same
I'm a born and raised Minnesotan and even i know this is wrong wtf 😂
Finally, clean flatware, dishes, and glasses. Of course, lipstick-stained glassware and flatware with leftover food remnants can be a quick giveaway when it comes to restaurant cleanliness. So, the next time you’re waiting for your order, take a peek at how clean your eating tools are!

$29 Plate Of Brisket
Oh, it's one of THOSE places. Where part of the gimmick is you are eating off of paper instead of a plate. Does the restaurant look like a barn or something.? I ate at a similar place in Colorado with my brother several years back. Except the pricing and food were better than this looks. Just the general gimmick of barn / western motif / and I think you chose whatever kind of meat by the 1/2 pound / pound.
No visible smoke ring, it shouldbe light pink around the very outside edges...it looks like there may have been one at one point before this sat overnight and hit the microwave, or it wasn't BBQ'd properly in the first place or both

This Pizza We Ordered At A Restaurant In Altoona, Pennsylvania
We were driving from Pittsburgh to Philly and stopped by at Altoona as we were hungry. We went to this one restaurant and the waiter strongly suggested that we try their specialty, the Altoona-style pizza. We assumed it'd be good and was popular for a reason since it was named after the city. Little did we know it was going to be this atrocity.
Apparently, this type of pizza was only served at the Altoona Hotel. But the hotel caught fire some years ago and had to be shut down. The other local restaurants then picked up the mantle and started making the Altoona-style pizza.
Apparently it won't die, they even tried to kill it with fire.
Load More Replies...“The definitive characteristics of Altoona-style pizza are a Sicilian-style pizza dough, tomato sauce, sliced green bell pepper, salami, topped with American cheese and pizzas cut into squares instead of wedges.“ It sounds way better than it looks lol
The hotel didn't catch fire. Someone torched it after ordering pizza and receiving that!
I wouldn't want American cheese on a pizza, but if it's stuck around long enough to get a name, there must be people who like it. I wish the OP described the taste, not just the appearance.
Keep it there in Altoona! As a Philadelphian, I'm horrified at this.
"Veggie Taco" Served At A Taco Festival
Frozen, not tinned. You don't get sharp cut edges like on the green beans and carrots from veggies that have been soaking in water in a can for who knows how long. Also, the little dents on the peas are a dead giveaway, you only get those with either fresh or frozen peas. I'm once again reminded that not everybody is as picky about the texture of their food as I am. I absolutely hated frozen veggies as a child, but tinned ones were okay.

I'd be a little disappointed if that was my main-dish, since it looks like I ate when I cooked for myself during university 9 out of 10 days. Wouldn't want to pay more than 2 bucks for this, honestly.
I just remembered why I choose to cook at home instead of getting take away
I just wanted to comment the same. Even the cheapest takeaway is better home made.

I second you on that! The people who prepared many of these "meals" should be publicly shamed, maybe even horse-whipped.

It was literally just a hamburger bun flipped inside out, with barely melted cheese thrown in the middle. Didn't even look grilled hahaha grilled-ch...cdb086.jpg

I asked myself the same question. I most certainly would ask or demand a refund

Well before the pandemic, roughly a decade ago, I ordered an eel bento box from a Japanese place, and they had deep fried bananas as desert, which I also ordered. The bento was amazing, but the delivery driver forgot the bananas. So I called the shop, and they apologized and offered to remake new ones for me, but I had to pick up. They were still good, but it was a shame I had to pick them up.
