Where’s the beef, or, in this case, the bacon? That’s a question that one British man has infamously taken to Facebook to find out after his local supermarket short-changed him by a slice.

Ben Roberts, a lover of bacon sandwiches, stopped by at his local Tesco supermarket in Derby, UK to grab a package of bacon. All seemed ordinary until he got home and discovered that the package contained only six slices. It was supposed to contain seven.

Outraged, Roberts turned to Facebook to write his complaint about the betrayal, which has since racked up thousands of shares and comments.

“Shut the front door! There was only six rashers of bacon. Six,” he wrote. “I could not believe it! Mortified! I called my other half into the kitchen but quickly dismissed her as she did not seem to understand the problem.”

Many Facebook users have teased Roberts about having found an extra slice of bacon in their packs.

One user wrote: “I just chuckled at this and then decided to check my seven pack of bacon, don’t be mad but I think I have your 7^th rasher [slice] as I had eight in my pack!”

But Facebook wasn’t alone is appreciating Roberts’s sense of humor. Tesco caught on too. Jamie, a customer care representative with the chain, replied to the post with an equally dramatic response.

“As a fellow bacon fan I can fully understand your shock, disappointment and unadulterated anger at finding only six rashers in the packet,” he wrote on Facebook. He also included the best ways he enjoys eating his bacon, even treating himself to the “Jamie Special,” which requires three slices of bread.

All jokes aside, Roberts will get a full refund for his missing bacon rasher based on Tesco’s reply. A happy ending indeed!
