This came after they spoke to the staff in question and assessed the incident.
Cheers took the opportunity to reiterate its zero-tolerance stance towards employees who fail to comply with authorities.
We do not tolerate acts from staff who seek to undermine the authority of the police.
Footage of the incident, which occurred at the Cheers outlet in Lau Pa Sat, was first shared on 1 Jan.

Comprising five videos, the clips showed the OP calling the police over an alleged altercation with another man.
In the videos, the OP accused the other man of entering the shop to “cause trouble”, impersonating a police officer, and using vulgarities.
The officers then requested a form of identification from him, which the man refused.
After some back and forth and multiple warnings, the man finally acquiesced.
Shortly after, on Monday (2 Jan), Cheers publicly apologised for the incident via Facebook.
They confirmed that they had counselled and put the employee on administrative leave pending further investigation.
The next day, SPF released a statement addressing the situation. According to preliminary investigations, the men exchanged verbal threats and comments on race and nationality before their arrival.
Two men aged 29 and 64 are now assisting with ongoing police investigations. There were no injuries reported.
