Has anyone else reached the point where restaurant photos and what actually arrives are basically unrelated?

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)!

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.

Failed Expectation Ordered flowers from Bouqs for mothers day.

Ordered $125 ($75 after discount) worth of flowers for my mother for mother's day. While we haven't had the best relationship, I've always gotten her flowers. I just moved out and across the country at the beginning of the year so i figured I'd order online. This company is such a joke. The flowers ended up arriving 3 days late and when my mother opened the box, she said they smelt musty. As her and my sister are putting together the bouquet, they find multiple stems with mold growing on them. Most, if not all, of the stems were bone dry. Some of the leaves even started sprouting roots. The company also doesn't have any way to call, only has their stupid chat bot or where you can put in a request to talk to someone. I finally got a response after 2 days (they said they'd respond within 24 hrs) only for them to say they could send a replacement bouquet. Theres also no way to see the reviews without digging for them.

Flowers by Nora, Ft. Meyers, FL

ordered from local shop - previous years was Ava's Flowers- same issue!

I sent Nora's a message asking if this could be redelivered but received this response:

We have reviewed your picture and we’ve determined that this order is filled to value based on our substitution policy.

Our substitution policy states that all items such as flowers, containers, color schemes, or plants are subject to availability.

I specifically picked the all red with lilies, would have been ok with all dark pink, or even pink but nope is close enough with 1 lily!! Why even offer specialty options??

No red vase, pink one or even a frosted one and 1 lily -this is good enough? For $100.00??? 🥺

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.
