A McDonald's crew member in New Zealand left his colleagues in shock when he quit mid-shift after being asked to clean a sink full of dirty dishes.
The incident, captured on video and posted on TikTok, has sparked a division of opinions on the internet.
The footage started with the sink piled high with grills and fryers after the young worker was asked to roll up his sleeves and scrub the sink. However, the McDonald's worker was seen refusing the cleaning duty.
He said: 'Hell no, I am not cleaning that, I ain't cleaning that.'
'Actually, I quit!'
In response, his frustrated manager can be heard yelling, while bewildered colleagues attempt to beg him to stay.
The manager is heard screaming while waving her arms in exasperation.
'No! Get back here!' She screamed.
A colleague added: 'Oh, f*** that!'
Despite pleas to reconsider, the young employee stands his ground and exits, declaring, 'I quit, I'm leaving Maccas. See you on the flip side b*****!'
The video has gone viral, amassing over 1.4 million views within 12 hours of being shared. The crew member captioned the video with, 'They really thought I was going to clean that,' eliciting a divided response from viewers.
One person said: His parents should be ashamed they failed to raise an adult. His response is what you'd expect from a 2-year-old told to pick up their toys, not a paid employee.
Quick-service restaurants need their staff to flex when needed. Grow up, mate. You have to do your fair share. A second said.

A third claimed: They weren't given any responsibilities as children to teach them to grow up. Consequently, they still behave like they were 2. Children need to learn to take responsibility and to work, just like they have to learn to speak, read, share, etc.
Someone else wrote: Don't cry when businesses aren't able to hold regular hours or provide good customer service. You see here the quality of employees coming out of the next generation. They have zero work ethic and zero pride in their work ethic. They are also lazy.
What a smart young fellow, documenting his laziness for the world. Better go grovel for that Maccas job back son, you'll be lucky to even have that one. Another added.
What do you think of the video? Would you consider quitting if the manager asks you to do the dishes?
