‘Is this normal service in Singapore?' Tourist asks if server is in a bad mood after she seems to ignore his order

A TikTok user, identified as Christos, found himself bewildered after an encounter with a server at Singapore's Lau Pa Sat. Christos, from Australia, approached the counter requesting a pint of Tiger beer and an iced lemon tea. The server, donning a mask, informed him the beer would cost S$12 before he pointed out his desire for the lemon tea as well.
The server made a dismissive motion and asserted "behind," then proceeded to attend to his beer order. Upon receiving his beer, Christos attempted to hand over further payment, only to be met with disinterest. Turning the camera onto himself, Christos asked, "What?". The server delivered his pint, then walked away. Commenters stated that the server's response to Christos' request for the lemon tea was correct, as that beverage was served at another counter.
Christos expressed his bemused state, questioning if such a reaction was typical behavior for a Singaporean server.
