Can I complain at my local bakery if the loaf I bought from them has a giant hole throughout it? I feel like I got jipped of a full loaf

Can you have them slice it for you next time? It is sourdough and this does happen.

You weren’t shorted anything. The loaf would’ve still been weighted the same as all the others.

I would toast it in a pan with an over easy egg.

Perfect slice for a “toad in the hole”!

Was the rest of the loaf like this? I understand holes, but this may be an underproofed loaf.

This post was somewhat jarring. Here’s an article about the term “jipped”, which I had previously though was commonly known to be a derogatory term due it its origins.
Edit: nevermind, I thought you baked this yourself and I was making a joke. I didn’t read the caption. I’d maybe complain if it starts being a regular occurrence. Personally I wouldn’t bother to complain about a single loaf

This is essential feedback for a production bakery to get. They want you to have a better experience, and would very likely provide a replacement loaf. Very likely a new hire on the bench. They’re definitely not going to try to act like this is the desired product.

Weird looking bagel but I’d still eat it

I mean I would certainly complain if someone got a small cylinder (5.1in length,~4.5in girth) stuck in my sourdough…

Someone has some explaining to do at that bakery….
Reminds me of the hole you see in peanut butter jars

No, but you should find other ways to pleasure yourself.

As a professional bread baker, it’s literally completely fine and reasonable to take it back to us lol. It happens. We often don’t realize that there are holes in loaves/batches unless a customer points it out. Holes that big aren’t an open crumb, it’s tunneling caused by improper proofing time (and might have an off/gummy texture). Honestly not sure why everyone is debating that.
Any decent bakery will exchange or refund the loaf no problem, as long as you haven’t eaten much of it. Also, just want to note- there is no difference in the amount of product you got! They weren’t trying to scam you. All the loaves are scaled out to a specific weight, usually with ±1oz margin of error.

I think that would fit on the face of a small cat.

Wasn’t large holes in the crumb all the rage about ten years ago?
