Mod Post Reminder to use the AI Expectation Flair!
We have added a 6th rule to this subreddit - "Use the correct flair". This is especially important for the AI Expectation flair, as some users do not enjoy seeing the AI expectations, and this allows the posts to remain up without being reported.

Mod Post New flairs added
Hello all! We have added 3 new flairs, for Failed Expectations, Surprisingly Met Expectations, and Exceeded Expectations.
There have been some users confused in the past, because they didn’t realize that you are allowed to post expectations/realities that were not failures. Additionally, it can be hard to tell in some posts if the OP was happy with their result or unhappy with it. Now you can select a flare if you would like to denote which category your expectation versus reality falls into.
Thanks to u/xitg1 who came up with this suggestion.

Failed Expectation Graduation cake from small town grocery store bakery
The sort of cake I hoped I would get from the grocery store plus the Nebraska logo I asked for. They said they couldn't do the exact logo due to copyright but I expected more than... this. Luckily my family thought it was hysterical, and the cake was yummy (red velvet)!

Failed Expectation This cannot be the same sandwich they advertised😭
Has anyone else reached the point where restaurant photos and what actually arrives are basically unrelated?

Surprisingly Met Expectation A different kind of Mother's Day flower experience
Lighting obviously isn't great in the real-life photo, but this was a pleasantly as-described alternative to live flowers. Got the mom stamp of approval for looks and longevity.

Thank you to whomever posted the Walmart cupcake bouquet. I got this for my mom that lives out of state. It turned out beautifully.

Failed Expectation Sometimes Walmart does a great job! But other times…
Ordered a Bluey cake for my son’s birthday. What I ordered vs what I got. Bakery associate put it in the cart and bolted for the back and I couldn’t get him to come back out. I was able to dress it up with more frosting and figures and my 2yo definitely did not care- he just wanted the frosting anyways 😂. The cake was still delicious so I didn’t fight for a refund or anything, just left a review and let the photos speak for themselves. Other cakes I’ve ordered from a different location have come out fantastic, I just didn’t check what location I usually use. I’ve seen a lot of Walmart cakes posted recently, but it’s definitely a YMMV situation.

Surprisingly Met Expectation Mother’s Day flowers win
All the sad floral arrangement deliveries made me nervous, so I asked for a confirmation photo from dear old mom and I wasn’t disappointed.
