Customers & Yishun drink stall owner argue furiously over bringing own water bottle
The video has since garnered over 1,500 comments online.
A heated argument erupted at a coffee shop in Yishun between customers and the owner of a drink stall on August 30. The controversy gained attention after a video of the incident was shared on Facebook. The dispute originated from the coffee shop's policy against allowing outside food and drinks, including personal water bottles.
The video, filmed by a man who identified himself as Brandon, showed the owner telling the family that they were not permitted to bring their own water bottles, despite the rule being posted on a banner at the shop. Brandon's father and son became embroiled in the conflict, with the owner taunting the father and the son filming the exchange.
The owner eventually took the water bottle from the table and placed it elsewhere, only for the father to take it back. The family, regulars at the coffee shop, had visited for dinner around 7:30pm, and Brandon's mother was still queuing for their food when the argument began. Brandon claimed that his father refused to be provoked into a physical altercation, stating that any issues should be addressed openly.
The owner reportedly challenged the father to fight in the back alley, but he declined. Brandon also stated that his father had used harsh words, but emphasized that they were directed at the owner, not the LGBTQ+ community, to which he expressed sincere apologies. The family has requested privacy while the matter is under police investigation.
