A man involved in a dispute with a drinks stall owner at a Sembawang coffee shop has shared his account of the incident after a video of their altercation went viral online.
In a statement shared on Reddit on Tuesday (Sep 1), the man, who identified himself as Brandon, said he was at a coffee shop with his parents at around 7.30pm on Aug 30 for dinner when the incident occurred.
Brandon said the coffee shop was crowded, but his family managed to find an unoccupied table. He placed a water bottle on the table before he went to the toilet.
While he was away, the drinks stall owner allegedly approached his father and told him that the water bottle could not be placed on the table and had to be kept on a chair instead.
“I questioned the reason for this, especially since there was sufficient space on the table and my mum was still queuing to purchase food,” said Brandon.
“I also found it unusual that a water bottle could not be placed on an otherwise empty table.”
According to Brandon, the drinks stall owner said it was a coffee shop rule that outside drinks and water bottles were not allowed on tables.
