Kayabukiya Tavern: the Japanese tavern with monkey waiters
The Kayabukiya Tavern in Utsunomiya, Japan, employs two waiters with special background: they are both macaque monkeys. If you’re wondering how they are tipped, well they earn boiled soybeans as tips. Though in line with animal regulations, they only work for two hours a day.
Watch them while they’re working in the video below:
