But when a lifeless vendo takes your order in japan, everybody is amazed...
Which is very rare you may find there is only a handful in the whole of Japan if lucky. And those are designed for people with anxieties so they can order without speaking to someone real which would kick them off. In other words in Japan they do that to adapt to customers, not to save money.
Restaurants need to do what they have to in order to stay open. I say it is innovative and resourceful.
And the remote worker is probably working other jobs IN addition to this restaurant gig lol they are probably making MORE than in person hosts.
Time for Americans to order food from other countries. Outsource their business and make it hurt them right in the wallet.
You do realise 99% of everything you own whether its clothes or electronics has been outsourced from other countries? If you wanna get mad at this dont be a hypocrite and get mad at the fact borderline everything you own wasnt made in america.
@@FakeEgirlyour logic is incongruous, for example a sweatshop in Bangladesh operates in Bangladesh and sells their commodities to a US retailer who sells them to you, these Zoom cashiers are effectively working in the US and should be entitled to US labour rights and entitlements.
The services provided in that restaurant are not being provided in the Philippines for Filipino Pesos, they are being provided in the US in USD where the customer is paying for and receiving their service in situ.
Well more job loses and they tell us the economy is doing good .
This is inevitable wages go up and that incentivizes innovation. If we had tackled multiple of the current problems maybe people wouldn’t be demanding higher wages to cover increased living expenses.
@@lv7603what innovation is this? This hasn't saved any human labour like a robot in a factory does, this is just exploitation.
I'm all for automation making human labour redundant and obsolete but this is not that.
The rich are doing good enough for the both of us
@@giansiderosresult of bidenomics, be thankful
Human-race needs a restart. They shouldn’t never gave us technology
They are paying them atleast $6-9 an hour which is good in their country.
Nope, $5
Please 3 they get paid by the day not the hour
As someone who lived in the Philippines and has friends there, $2 an hour would be considered VERY good for an entry level waitress in a small city, or about right if you add computer & Zoom skills.
I'd be honest, $9/hr would be fair considering that they're not covered by any Philippine law benefits for working remotely and having a facecam all the time. People say that's $3-4/hr but nobody will ever take that.
This is ridiculous.
That’s really smart, people don’t want to work for 15$ and you don’t want to pay more for food. That’s life
restaurants can't anymore afford to pay $16 an hour to their employees, that's why they just outsource people or else they will just close their business.
No, it's not, you're just upset people across the world are taking away your jobs.
$4 an hour wage here in the Philippines is already godsend... If you compare that to our minimum wage of $10-$12 per day (capital rate)
😂They complaining about 16 an hr. Meanwhile in NY thats not even a livable wage. For anyone To support bills & responsibilities
F it move to the Philippines and work remotely lol😅
I actually love this, just like when tech support was outsourced to India, the consumer is 100% to blame, they want champaign on a beer budget well the market will deliver because at the end of the day paying $10.00 for a bowl of ramen with remote Filipino is better than paying $23.00 for the same bowl from a pissy American server that is going to expect a $15.00 dollar tip on top of it.
That tip is higher than my daily salary
yohoo 😭😭 😅@@boartank
Minimum wage does not help.
Slight error from the reporter regarding the minimum wage in the Philippines. They pay us per day here so minimum wage is $10/day, divide that up and it’s atleast $1/hour.
Right… Not 4 dollars.
640 pesos is like 11 usd per day which is 1.40 or so per hour
@@CalvinCarlo my man, 640 is for the more developed cities and provinces. You go to less developed ones and the minimum wage drops to PHP 400 💀
It's not to save money. Restaurants are doing it to SURVIVE.
So just don’t order from there and they will lose more money than they are saving without in person workers.
If she's nice and friendly and the food is good I'm all about it! New York 🗽 is a shit hole now so this is certainly welcome
The problem is the technology that enables this, and its cheaper. If you're an owner of a restaurant would you choose to pay $140 for a full shift over the $24 one? if you're a restaurant owner you could have spent it to somewhere else to improve your service and maybe make the food cheaper or make it better
It’s actually a win win cause the remote workers can do multiple jobs at THE SAME TIME making more than what they can work doing one in person job at a time
It only works if the prices drop
Boycott all businesses that do this!!!
Maybe it's time to re-evaluate your value and think if you really deserve that much wage, when a person across the world can do it just like you for *much less* money.
To be fare here in the Philippines has cheaper standard of living.
the saying they are taking our jobs to a whole new meaning, I wonder who they will chastise now
Soon managers and cashiers will be replace by remote worker oversea. They will just appeared digitally.
and super intelligent AI.
GOOD
I see no problem with this they can stack jobs and make more money this way via remote over employment
"still waiting to hear back" you'll be waiting for a long time.... NY Daily news did a similar story on interpreters in Latin America being paid $4 per hour. they did work for NYC hospitals and schools... local rates would be over $30 per hour
Ai will replace them.
Probably get someone with better attitude and service.
I hate it. I wouldn't go to the restaurant.
what if because the restaurant doesn't have to pay an expensive employee, the food normally cost $20. It's now $4.
@@tgo007 prices for customers will not reflect whatever savings the business might get by using these remote worker services.
@@LastWerd98 They would though. Part of the reason fast food cost so much these days is directly related to the increase in local wages for these workers.
😂how does she seat them. So odd. Cheaper labor. Cell phones company do it. Outsource
Let's be honest, each zoom cashier should require a work visa for the country they are working in, also be subject to minimum wage laws of where they are working in.
Cause this is the same as illegal immigrants working in usa.
now you get it!, you outsource the shit you dont want and then complain that theres no Americans doing the job, this is the convenience that you wanted, if an undocumented migrant takes your job with no studies and does it better what do you think happens. This is your own cultural doing, being in a call center is degrading, send it to another country, then complain about the accent barriers. you are here because of your own country. dont complain when you got your convenience in return.
Wish people would stop using that term it shows ignorance, all immigrants are legal because they have a visa to work or study in the country of choice, they don't receive benefits and pay for everything and pay taxes in 2 countries. There is no such thing as illegal immigrants it is an oxymoron you cannot be legal and illegal at the same time. Those come in over borders and boats etc are refuges or asylum seekers, they are NOT immigrants.
outsourcing american jobs 2 china
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
❤
"I prefer face-to-face" except when that increases the cost of your meal.
newsflash... the cost of meals has been rapidly increasing with our without cashiers.... McDonalds is now charging as much as $18 for one of their crappy burgers.... now why people still buy that crap is beyond me
