A Tesco bakery sign has gone viral after shoppers spotted an awkward mistake.
The unfortunate error was spotted on a sign alerting shoppers about the lack of baked goods due to a shortage of staff.
In the last year or so, us Brits have battled toilet roll and petrol shortages – with companies having to say sorry in the most British way.
With the classic line usually reading: “Apologies for any inconvenience".
But Tesco employees accidentally mixed up the words "inconvenience" and "incontinence", much to customers' amusement.
The sign read: “Sorry, no bakery due to staff shortage. Apology for any incontinence.”
The A4 sign hung on the shelf – attached with some yellow and white tape amongst the empty trays - says the Daily Star.
According to the NHS website, incontinence is defined as the "unintentional passing of urine" with it being a "common problem thought to affect millions of people".
An eagle-eyed supermarket shopper spotted the mistake and posted the sign gaffe to Reddit.
They titled the post: “The floors were a bit sticky to be honest.”
Tickled by the spelling error, people fled to the comments to jump in on the supermarket mishap.
One person joked: “Tesco really are taking the p***.”
Another user added: “Only a single apology as well."
A third noted: “God I hope that was intentional.”
Someone else stated: “Tesco bakery is wild.”
A Tesco spokesperson said: “A very unfortunate but amusing typo – we are sorry for any inconvenience this has caused though.”
