How to Tip a Monkey: Double the Tax and Add a Banana

I was out of the office most of this week (eating my way around Austin, Texas) or else this video of monkey waiters would've earned Breaking News status here on the blog. As chronicled by Ed Levine over at Serious Eats, a Japanese tavern has enlisted two macaque monkeys--Fuku-chan and Yat-chan--to wait tables. While it appears they're mostly on bottle service they also bring over the occasional hot towel.

It's all fun and games till one of the monkeys tears someones face off because they didn't like the tip. I'm sure the other waiters will enjoy that.
