    A BLOKE has become an overnight internet sensation after proudly showing off his career milestone, working for Sainsbury's.

    James Beardwell has pushed the trolleys at the supermarket in Chelmsford, Essex since 2014 when he was transferred from another store.

    He started his career at Sainsbury's in Braintree in 2008, moving to the Springfield store in 2014, where he remains to this day.

    Posting a video from outside the store on X, formally Twitter, James couldn't have looked happier, announcing his work anniversary.

    "I'm very happy to say I've now been working with the trolleys at Sainsbury's for 16 years. Happy 16 year anniversary," he said.

    The hard-working legend says he "really enjoys" every aspect of his job, which involves managing the trolleys in the shop's carpark.

    "I love my job, working with the trolleys, any years to come," he explained.

    His video has since gone viral – and it couldn't have gone to a more deserving chap, what an absolutely amazing achievement.

    In a follow-up clip, James said: "I have received 1.6M views on TikTok and 1.3M views on X on my previous video."

    "Celebrating my 16 year anniversary on working with the trolleys at Sainsbury's! Thank you to all the many thousands of your support."

    There's been no word yet from Sainsbury's themselves, but we can only hope he's rewarded for his long-standing loyalty. Smashed it, mate.
