A MOS Burger employee was seen visibly losing his temper after a co-worker mixed up two orders.
When a GrabFood rider entered the MOS Burger outlet at Toa Payoh HDB Hub, he realised that the order ready for collection for him was incorrect.
In a TikTok video uploaded by the rider on Jun. 6, the body camera worn by him caught the following scene.

Employee lost his cool
The staff handing out the orders appeared to be an elderly man.
When the rider informed the staff of the mistake, a younger worker was seen pointing to his elderly colleague and saying, "Uncle gave the order to the wrong person."
The GrabFood rider amicably assured the staff that it was okay, just as long as they checked and gave him the correct order.
Heading into the kitchen, the younger worker appeared agitated as he prepared a replacement order.
He apparently then slammed the kitchen counter loudly.
The staff didn't cease his outward show of displeasure, as he continued to storm around and handle things roughly as if venting his frustration.
"Hey, tell him to relax and take it slow," the GrabFood rider told the elderly worker uneasily.
The elderly MOS staff lingered outside the kitchen, as if trying to avoid his angry colleague inside.
A while later, the enraged worker emerged from the kitchen and swiped some things off the table behind the front counter, storming back after causing the items to clatter to the ground.
Disturbed customers in the store
Although there weren't many customers in the store at that time, the commotion turned heads: Those sitting near the counter were apparently aware of what was happening.
"It's okay," the rider told a diner sitting by the counter, "I have a camera. I'm recording everything."
He asked her, "You still can eat meh?"
At this point, he was interrupted by the staff who was displeased, who then apparently said something unintelligible.
"I mean you shouldn't be eating here. The staff is not in a good mood now," the rider continued.
He also warned entering customers that they should leave.
