Freshii now has virtual cashiers, which consists of person on computer screen wearing a headset who talks to you and helps you as you’re checking out. Similar to how some luxury hotels now have concierges who work from the Philippines, the Freshii Virtual Cashiers are in Nicaragua. By outsourcing their cashier jobs overseas Freshii is able to pay them $3.75 per hour rather than minimum wage.

People in Canada and United States have been complaining about workers wages and rights for a long time. Naturally with Freshii now outsourcing cashier jobs to people overseas the general public sees this as a form of suppressing workers wages and rights. It takes power away from labor unions when a company doesn’t need physical workers anymore. In addition people have noticed more Freshii restaurants opening lately, which may be due to them cutting costs by outsourcing jobs.
