3. The Kayabukiya Tavern, Utsunomiya, Japan
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzuhbA-syCE A Japanese restaurant has changed the face of customer service by employing two monkeys to help with the table service. Thats right. Monkey waiters. The Kayabukiya tavern, a traditional 'sake house' north of Tokyo has employed a pair of uniformed Japanese macaque called Yat-chan and Fuku-chan to serve patrons. Twelve-year-old Yat-chan is the crowd-pleaser as he moves quickly between tables taking customer drink orders. The younger of the two, Fuku-chan is quick to give the diners a hot towel to help them clean their hands before they order their drinks, as is the custom in Japan. Yat-chan and Fuku-chan, who are both certified by the local authorities to work in the tavern, are well appreciated by customers, who tip them with soya beans. The monkeys' environment has been inspected to ensure proper treatment of the animals, and due to Japanese animal rights regulations, they are each only allowed to work for two hours a day. The owner is currently training new monkeys to be part of the staff. The Monkeys usually work form 7-9pm and during this time you are required to order a set menu at a price of around 4000 yen ($40) per person. Most diners agree that you certainly get value for money with the massive quantities of food, but warn you to be prepared that the restaurant does at times smell a little strange.
