Moment Tesco worker wears suit and tie to read out resignation letter after bosses insist on formal

THIS is the hilarious moment a Tesco worker wears a suit and tie to read out his resignation letter after bosses insist on him giving a formal notice.

The employee can be seen standing on a small white pedestal and brandishing a walking stick in the middle of the busy supermarket in Tring, Hertfordshire.

Posting the hilarious clip online, the man who says his job was to receive deliveries, wrote: "After telling my work that I am leaving, they said I must make a formal resignation letter.

"So in response, I went all out."

Keeping a straight face, the worker in a black mask stands strong as another man reads out his resignation letter - which was closed in an envelope with a wax seal.

Reading the note out loud, the helper said: "To whomever it may concern, I write this letter from a place of sorrow and regret.

"These six, long arduous years have caused me to grow quite weary.

"My knees have grown weak and the grease from my elbows has depleted.

"It is not for every man to accept large packages into their back door, nonetheless, it was my duty.

"I have wondered endless aisles, searching for sections incomplete, my gloves doth hold the sweat of many a 12-hour [shift].

"But my shoulders carry the weight of the worker's burden."

He then goes on to blast his ex-manager whose name "will never be remembered," while paying heartfelt tributes to his fellow colleagues.

The helper continues: "My final thanks goes to Steve, the emperor of this fine establishment.

'VIVA LA TESCO!'

"You have raised the bar from your predecessor, infinitely. To say his name will be remembered is a grotesque overstatement.

"I finish this letter with many thanks to my former comrades and I hereby submit my formal resignation."

As the letter ends, the worker and his helper shout the word "resignation" at the same time before handing the envelope over to his "boss."

And before his exit, the man raises his fist and cries out: "Viva la Tesco!"

The hilarious video was posted on Sunday and has since received thousands of comments and over 100,000 interactions. 

Responding to the comical video, one Reddit user: "'Viva la Tesco!" is my new war cry."

Another said: "The little nods of approval, the rolling r's on the synchronised "rrresignation!", the stool, the cane, holding the letter at arms length.

"So many elements combine to make this a true masterpiece of our times."
