Believe it or not, a restaurant in Japan actually hired monkeys as waiters. And what did they get as salaries? The monkeys did their job and would receive bananas in return. Dressed in chequered shirts and black skirts, the adorable Macaque monkeys would fetch beer and other delectable dishes to the table at the Japanese restaurant Kayabukiya Tavern. And sometimes, happy guests would tip them with boiled soya beans.
