This one’s for the primate contingent: “A restaurant in Japan has some unusual waiting staff on its books – two macaque monkeys. Yatchan and Fukuchan serve customers hot towels and drinks, and are given soya beans as tips.”

Before anyone gets all up in arms about this, just remember: these monkeys are doing the low-paid jobs that able-bodied humans refuse to do. Although given the state of the economy, we’re probably all gonna be working for soya beans soon enough. [Via Jezebel]
