The clip, titled “Tesco Bums Causing Havoc!!!”, has received hundreds of thousands of hits on the YouTube website. It shows one employee ripping open staff lockers with a walking stick and headbutting lockers wearing a crash helmet. Another worker summersaults onto a pile of boxes at a Tesco storage area, one employee plays football with some fruit in an isle and another smashes a metal tray over a friend’s head.
