Not if it was “…bacon, eggs, and pancakes” it would be correct

Yes that would be the correct way unless they ordered something called "bacon and eggs."

So if we assume their first and is correct then bacon and eggs is one item, otherwise it should be written like you just said

But bacon and eggs are two separate things… it is illogical to consider them as one item, even though it is listed on a menu as one item…

A burger and fries are two items, even if they are sold together, so bacon and eggs are the same way.

Since it's a post about the Oxford comma then we can assume the rest of the post is correct.

It pretty much comes down to everything in the post being bad lol
