An Amazon driver has been fired after a video of a woman in a skimpy dress leaving his delivery van went viral. The footage, filmed in Florida, shows a woman in a short black dress jumping barefoot from the vehicle as the driver slides open the back door.
The clip was uploaded to TikTok on October 24 and has since been viewed more than 12 million times. Social media users speculated about the nature of the encounter, with some making jokes about delivery times and the driver being the 'new milkman'. The official TikTok account for condom brand Trojan even commented, 'Delivery available in 3-4 business minutes.'
A spokesperson for Amazon confirmed the driver had been sacked, stating, 'This does not reflect the high standards we have for our Delivery Service Partners and their drivers. Allowing unauthorised passengers to enter delivery vehicles is a violation of Amazon policy, and the driver is no longer delivering packages to Amazon customers.'
Some viewers expressed outrage at the driver's dismissal, while others noted that Amazon drivers have previously been linked to more serious offences. In 2019 in Luton, a man with a criminal history including sex trafficking posed as a driver to gain entry to a home and attacked a teenage girl, her aunt, and grandmother.
