Helpful Chimpanzee at Chinese Zoo Goes Above and Beyond in Customer Service
In a world where customer service is increasingly lacking, one chimpanzee at a Chinese zoo has gone above and beyond to provide a level of service that puts many human employees to shame.
Footage captured at the Shiyanhu Ecological Tourism Park shows the chimp, who goes by the name of “Champ,” leaping up to catch a shoe that had accidentally fallen into the enclosure, before proceeding to return the footwear to its rightful owner.
“It was truly remarkable,” said park employee Zhang Wei. “I’ve seen plenty of chimps perform impressive feats like sign language or trading stocks, but Champ’s customer service skills really blew me away.”
Many are hailing Champ as a hero, and some are even calling for him to be given a promotion to head of park operations.
“I would love to see Champ in a position of power,” said park visitor Li Mei. “If he can handle the delicate task of returning a shoe, imagine what he could do with something like managing the park’s finances!”
However, not everyone is impressed with Champ’s impressive display of helpfulness.
“I think it’s great that Champ returned the shoe, but let’s not get carried away,” said a skeptical parkgoer who wished to remain anonymous. “I mean, it’s not like he did anything truly remarkable, like solving a Rubik’s Cube or performing open-heart surgery.”
Nonetheless, the video of Champ’s act of kindness has gone viral, with many praising the chimp’s behavior as a positive example of what we can all strive to be in our daily lives.
“I think Champ is a role model for all of us,” said Zhang Wei. “We can all learn something from his willingness to go the extra mile and provide excellent customer service.”
The Shiyanhu Ecological Tourism Park has announced that it will be launching a new training program for all of its animal employees, with a focus on customer service skills.
“We want to empower all of our animals to provide the same level of service that Champ has demonstrated,” said a spokesperson for the park. “Who knows, maybe someday we’ll even be able to offer a satisfaction guarantee to all of our visitors!”
Whether or not Champ’s act of helpfulness will spark a trend among zoo animals remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: in a world that sometimes seems to be lacking in basic human decency, it’s heartening to see a chimp step up and show us all how it’s done.
