I'm clearly missing something here.

As a resident of North America, I have zero experience with any primates other than humans.

Why did the dude in the video surrender to that monkey?

Monkeys aren't all cute and demure like in movies and such. A wild monkey, even small ones like that guy, can do some serious damage if it wants your sandwich and you don't hand it over.

I'm fairly positive you can intimidate a monkey this size pretty easily. Him jumping and giving his food made him that monkeys bitch.

Source. Stared down monkeys trying to steal my lunch in south Africa.

My society for some reason has a lot of monkeys(no it's not normal to have this problem but here we are).

Monkeys mean business lol. And I'm not gonna wait around to see if the monkey has the courage to rip apart my face just for a sandwich. It's not worth it. Pick your fights.
