This is NOT what I ordered! Hilarious photographs reveal what happens when restaurant staff take diners' requests VERY literally

  • Snaps capture dishes presented to diners by confused restaurant staff 
  • A customer who asked for a Baileys in their coffee was given bay leaves instead
  • Another who ordered a double espresso was given two cups stacked together

They say the customer is always right, but these photographs suggest restaurant staff should take care to establish exactly what it is they're asking for.  

The album compiled by Bored Panda features snaps captured by diners whose orders have been completely misunderstood by waiters - often with hilarious results. 

The photographs include everything from a side of bay leaves presented to a customer who asked for Baileys in their coffee, to a large pizza complete with eight slices of cheesecake - instead of the cheese sticks they'd ordered.

While some of bungled orders presented to customers appeared to be the deliberate work of mischievous staff, other mix-ups were accidental.

One person, for example, ordered a chicken burger and asked for mayonnaise on the top and bottom.

They meant on the burger inside the bun, but staff simply squirted mayo on top of and underneath the sandwich - meaning the customer was greeted by quite a mess when he opened the box.

First, this can not be real, McDonald's actually having a working ice cream machine?  Yeah right!

And second, do you know how many times I have asked for this exact thing?

Generally, when this kind of thing happens, the sour cream on the side or mayo on top and bottom, it's because the customer is being a butt.

While working at Checkers, a customer returned a sandwich 3 times saying there wasn't enough mustard on it.

Well, usually, you just get a new burger because once a customer touches it, your not supposed to bring it back inside.

So the third time, my manager told the woman she would take care of it.

The third burger got almost a whole bottle of mustard.

The customer was just trying to get as much free food as possible.

I can understand the cream for coffee in Germany. I believe at least in England they use that for their tea.

 I like a cake cone.

But only after I've eaten the ice cream.
