Restaurant in Japan -- real monkeys work as waiters! Amusement or indentured slavery -- you decide. BBC NEWS | Special Reports | Monkeys work in Japanese restaurant |
wow... if it happens here.. lots of unhappy waiters... hot waitresses will have jobs still... lol |
I have been to quite a few restaurants where the staff could easily be replaced by monkeys |
Reminds me of the Monkey butlers from simpsons http://littlelakeview.files.wordpres...ler-monkey.jpg |
so why is it mandatory that we tip waiters / waitresses again? looks like theyre replaceable. |
Pray. for. mojo. |
loll the monkey is enjoying the food !! |
reminds me of the drug dealing monkey in hangover 2 |

its just the ethics of tipping....someone is providing you with a service, running around and getting you food/water and stuff the least you can do is give em a little extra. Most servers are working there way through school, some are working to feed a family. If a server does a really good job then no doubt ill tip them more than 10% but if they do a noticeable shitty job ill toss em a penny. |

In many other countries serving staff is payed better and expected to give better service as a result without the reward system of tips. I tip based on quality of service nothing more and my tip ranges from -%1 to %20 never more. Yes I've shorted on a bill by 25 cents to get my point across but made sure to leave a note on the bill explaining my reasoning. As for the original post look at the floor in that place! |

I hate the idea of tipping. So the idea is, if you're not being tipped, you'll do a shitty job of serving? I wonder if that idea translates to the every other job in the world. |

How come no one tips them? |
if im a regular i just double the tax. 12% seems fair. i mean they remember you and bring you the shit you always ask for automatically, it's like a business transaction. you get a something little extra, they get a something little extra. if the service sucks, i'll under tip, or not tip at all. forgive me if i sound like a prick, but im not poor, my tip is no different than me throwing change into a hobos cardboard coffee cup. the difference is the hobo didn't do anything for me. if i were poor, or that 12% really made a big difference at the end of the day, i wouldn't fucking tip. it's as simple as that. but it doesnt. society expects us to yes. just like they expect us to open the door or say thank you. its no different. i learnt to tip after i worked at a job that had tips. i sometimes wondered why people were so generous. overly generous. the same service, had a tip difference of 10x (lowest vs highest). |
cheap asiannnnnnnnsssssssssssssssssssssssss. anyone can work in the service industry and make tips. But it's not for everyone. |
In HK it is uncommon to tip. Usually a tiny bit of change, like $0.50 or $2 at most (and that converts to like $0.05-$0.30). Thing is, the servers don't get the tips here. The restaurants take it in as part of the income. And the places that do have a 10% mandatory "service charge" also take it in as income. So even when you HAVE to tip, you aren't actually tipping. If you want to actually tip a server, you have to give the money directly to them, like cash in their hand or pocket. You see that a lot when the patrons are going for maximum face gain :D I don't know why I posted an "about HK" post, but I just thought of it when the topic came up and I thought it was interesting :heckno: In Japan they don't tip at all, and if you do leave change or accidentally tip, they'll run after you with it.. I have actually seen this :lol |
I want a pet monkey Seriously, it will fetch me beer and all |

and you have to take in consideration that when you tip your not just tipping the server but your tipping EVERYONE that busts there ass at the restaurant so if the server fucks up everyone in the restaurant gets a shitty tip. |
^ Skinny isn't talking bout here, he said HK |
Watch out, rise of the planet of the apes :troll: |
