But it comes to them naturally.

Two Japanese Macaques have been trained to bring patrons hot towels to clean their hands and one can even bring out drinks.

The monkeys only work two hours a day due to animal rights regulations.

The simian waiters give great service, but they don't expect a cash tip. They prefer soybeans.
