This is an interesting article that i read on Reuters that showcase two monkeys that had been trained to become helpers at a restaurant. Even more surprising is these monkeys can serve the customers well!! The monkey can just walk like normal and serve the customers like normal human too. Of course the good thing, the boss don’t have to pay them money but just peanuts.. hehehe

Well, personally I would think this is more acceptable than having the monkeys in the zoo or worse end up in someone dish. At least the monkeys are well protected. But then came the next question, how to ensure the hygiene of these monkeys? Being them for regular check ups?

Monkey waiters in Japan
(00:59) Rough Cut
Oct 6 - Hard pressed to find good helping hands these days? Not bothered that these helping hands may not be human?

Then you may want to try hiring the same workers as used by the owners of the Japanese tavern Kayabukiya.

The local hangout just north of Tokyo employs a pair of Japanese monkeys called Yat-chan and Fuku-chan to serve their customers.

The younger of the two, Fuku-chan, usually begins the first shift and is quick to hand out customers a hot towel to help them clean their hands before they order their first drinks.

Fuku-chan, who is four, has only two years experience under his furry belt and his work load is limited to hot towels.

Both monkeys are well appreciated by customers who tip them with boiled soya-beans to enjoy during their down time.
