I don't know the name of the anime face where they have one hand on the back of their head and a big globule of sweat appears, but it would've been mildly funny to post a picture of it, so please imagine I've posted one.

Leaving a mess...
we do a little trolling
we engage in a mild amount of tomfoolery
"Poor product quality, delivery time below expectation" is like the old joke:
"The food here is terrible."
"Yes, and such small portions."
I don’t get it
Why would you want bigger portions of bad food (is my guess)
If it's inedible why does the amount you can't eat matter?
Me neither
I think it's like, "You get what you pay for." but I'm not really sure either.
It's a classic simple joke probably decades old, but the humor is in the implication they want a bigger portion of something bad. Edit: ah it seems to be from the Woody Allen movie Annie Hall: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/4151-there-s-an-old-joke---um-two-elderly-women-are
There's an old joke - um... two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of 'em says, "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know; and such small portions." Well, that's essentially how I feel about life - full of loneliness, and misery, and suffering, and unhappiness, and it's all over much too quickly.
Commenting again to say, I don't know if it's the baader-meinhof phenomenon or not, but I just read an ingredient label and, "tocopherol" got stuck in my head for the past 2 days... Just now, and I usually don't do this, but I went back to check your username after replying & hey, what's up vitamin E? Lol
Haha I forgot it even meant that, I did just pick it at random from a food label :p
That's really beautiful... in a sick, sad, & apt sort of way.
Ah I get it now. I think it’s a joke that’s more obvious if you’ve never been poor. I suppose quality and quantity are not necessarily connected in the same way for everyone.
To me the comments make sense?
If you're going to have lower quality food I'd expect the portion to be bigger than a fine dining restaurant where the food quality is high but the portion size is expected to be smaller.
