We all know it's never a good idea to head out and do the weekly food shop on an empty stomach.

Walking around aisles jam packed with mouth-watering treats can lead to some pretty questionable impulse purchasing, so sometimes to save a little money, it's a good idea to nip into the supermarket café and have a little snack.

But when one individual did just that at their local Asda café they were left feeling incredibly disappointed by their foodie experience.

A Reddit user going by the name TomskiGames has taken to the discussion website to share the lacklustre meal they were presented with.

The user ordered a bacon sandwich from the café, but was shocked to discover that when the £2.50 breakfast treat arrived at the table, it was pretty poor quality.

They shared a picture of the food, describing the bread as "stale" and the two small rashers of bacon inside "cold" and claimed that they were told adding butter would cost them extra.

They declared that it would be the first and last time they ate at the supermarket after this as it was "awful".

People were quick to share their condolences and brand the the sandwich "sad".

One person said: "Condolences mate! That’s terrible! Lesson learnt though: Support your local greasy spoon, not big chain supermarkets for your Saturday breakfast!"

Another commented: "If I was served that sorry excuse for a bacon sarnie my disgust would be enough to overcome my innate British reluctance to complain. I'd have sent the damn thing back and refused to pay."

A third wrote: "That’s one sad sandwich. Does it come with an antidepressant?"

A fourth asked: "Why the hell did you go to as Asda cafe in the first place?!"

So far the post has garnered more than 400 comments from outraged Brits.

Mirror Online have contacted Asda regarding the situation and are awaiting comment.
