They don't break their consistency about shit like this. Yeah, they eat on the floor, they're also highly intelligent, sapient, sentient, have their own language and can even learn to do complex tasks and jobs to help humans in their efforts (Conkeldurr taught humans how to mix concrete and an Oranguru in SM season ran a jungle juice bar Mallow's father trained under befroe opening up his own café).
