Our economy is faltering and unemployment is rising at an alarming rate. But what’s really alarming is this following video which depicts a restaurant in Japan that employs MONKEY WAITERS. Watch.

Now, there are a few ethical quandaries here:
1) Cute though this uniform may be, shouldn’t the monkey be allowed to wear what he wants to work?
2) What if American employers think this idea is great, and start outsourcing all service industry jobs to monkeys?
3) Worse still, what if this happens at Hooters?
4) And finally, should monkeys receive the same percentage of tips as humans? And guess what? That’s the topic of this Tuesday’s BLOGTOWN POLL!

SHOULD MONKEY WAITERS BE TIPPED THE SAME AS HUMAN WAITERS?

Bang bang, choo-choo train, let me see you shake that thang. Wm. Steven Humphrey is the editor-in-chief of the Portland Mercury and has held the job since 2000. (So don’t get any funny ideas.)

  2. Pretty easy to answer the monkey/human tip question – Nobody gets tips in Japan, macaques or not!

    If this happened at Hooters, I would go there.
