Amazon driver sacked after video of woman leaving his van goes viral on TikTok

An Amazon driver has been sacked after a social media video of a woman leaving his van went viral on TikTok.

The video shows a woman in a skimpy dress leaving his delivery van barefoot after it was parked outside a building.

After it was uploaded to the site on October 24 it has been viewed an incredible 12 million times.

The courier slid his vehicle's backdoor open before the mystery woman hopped out onto the street, our sister title the Daily Star reports.

But the apparent liaison did not go unpunished by the retail giant, who said they sacked the driver a week later.

A spokesperson for Amazon told TMZ: “This does not reflect the high standards we have for our Delivery Service Partners and their drivers.”

He added: “Allowing unauthorised passengers to enter delivery vehicles is a violation of Amazon policy, and the driver is no longer delivering packages to Amazon customers.”

It's not known what actually took place in the van.

Some TikTok users tried to fill in the blanks of the seemingly naughty encounter..

One said: “Package will be delivered in 9 months. Thank you.”

“She’s got that Prime Plus membership,” another user wrote.

Someone else wrote the following comment: “So Amazon drivers are the new milk men.”

Even the official TikTok account for Trojan, a condom brand, took on the comment section and wrote: “Delivery available in 3-4 business minutes.”

Other social media users thought it was outrageous for the man to have been fired.

Amazon drivers have in the past been linked to more serious cases and crimes.

In 2019 in Luton, a man with a long history of criminal offences including sex trafficking managed to gain entry to a family's property by posing as a driver.

He then viciously attacked a 14-year-old girl, her aunt and grandmother.

Sandel Hornea, 36, from Romania, fled the country after the callous attack but has been caught and jailed since.
