Sainsbury's Delivery Driver Sacked After Making TikTok Video About Job
A Sainsbury's delivery driver has been sacked after posting a viral TikTok video saying the gig was 'the easiest job I've ever had', before warning people not to work in Sainsbury's stores because 'that's s*** and boring'. You can watch the video below:
Ollie Tutt, 19, uploaded a clip to the popular app on 24 March praising his job as a delivery driver for the supermarket and branded his customers 'f*****g lovely'.
Since then, the clip has amassed 3.8 million views and more than 450,000 likes.

But despite its popularity online, the 19-year-old revealed he was fired from his job a week after the video was posted.
In his original TikTok, the teen said: “If you want an easy job, just go and work at Tesco, Sainsbury's and do this delivering s**t.
“It is possibly the easiest job I've ever had, the best paying job I've ever had and I actually get looked after.
“I don't do much, I just sit on the side of the road waiting to do these drops. All the customers are f******g lovely and haven't had an occasion where they have been an arsehole.”
He added: “Don't work in the store though, that's s**t and boring. Seriously if you wanna do an easy job just do this.”
Despite his sentiments, Ollie revealed the video didn’t go down well with his manager and revealed in another clip a few days later that it had 'caused a bit of a problem' for him.
The Eastbourne native said: “That video got a lot more attention than I thought it would and caused a bit of a problem.
“My manager told me that the store manager didn't really mind but because I swore in that video it's kind of bad for the company.
“Which kind of is obvious because it doesn't look really good on them.”
Unfortunately, his problems didn’t end there, as Ollie announced he had been sacked by the supermarket giant in a video update posted on 3 April.
The teen told his followers: “Yep I got sacked and now I am worried about how I am going to pay my rent in a week.”
According to Ollie, he was sacked for disrepute and policy breaking, as well as apparently not caring enough about the whole situation.
He said: “It's not a big deal, like they are a multi-billion-pound company and they care about a single video.
“Yep, you were all right about me losing my job, go f**k yourself. Now I am going to apply for new jobs.”
A Sainsbury's spokesperson said: “We are unable to discuss individual colleague cases. Any decision to review a colleague's employment is not taken lightly and based on a range of factors.”
