Today, although many times we do not know why, anyone can go viral, because the Internet works in strange ways and when you least expect it, it could be you who is under the spotlight.
This is what happened to Ollie Tutt, 19, when, on March 24, he decided to upload a video to his account TikTokin which he praised his work at the Sainsbury’s supermarket chain. The problem was that the message reached the ears of his bosses and there was something in his speech that they did not like at all.

The worker from the United Kingdom shared his opinion about the work he did in the company, where he basically described his work as simple and referred to customers as friendly:
If you want an easy job, go work at Tesco, Sainsbury’s and do these bloody deliveries. It’s possibly the easiest job I’ve ever had, the best paid and they take care of me.
I don’t do much, I just sit on the side of the road waiting to place these orders. All the customers are fucking lovely and I haven’t experienced any situation where they’ve been such jerks.
The only relatively bad thing would come at the end, because Ollie decided to give some advice to his followers, with which he finished sealing his fate in the company:
Don’t work inside supermarket stores, that’s rubbish and boring. Seriously, if you want to do an easy job, do this.

Two days later, the boy added a second statement, sharing his plight:
The video received a lot more attention than I thought and caused a bit of a problem. My boss told me that the store manager didn’t really care much, even though the fact that I was swearing in the clip is a bad thing for the company.
However, it did not end there, because the company decided to fire him for “bad behavior and disrepute”, so the shocked Ollie ended the statement by mocking the unusual situation a bit:
Yeah, I got laid off and now I’m worried about how I’m going to pay my rent in a week […] It was no big deal, they are a multi-million dollar company and they care about a single video.
In the meantime, many people have supported the young man so much that they have labeled the account TikTok along with their comments, threatening not to buy from them again if they don’t return to their favorite delivery guy.
‘We want our delivery man back or we won’t spend our money in his stores’; ‘This man made me consider becoming a delivery driver, but if you guys treat your employees like that, I’m not interested in him anymore.’
