Outsourcing entirely being gone isn't realistic... But there's a huge difference between moving an entire team of say developers to India and having a worker teleconference in to be a cashier. Anyone directly interacting with a customer or end user in any capacity should be paid the same as a local employee in the location they're "working".

A Telecashier is fucking stupid and ridiculous.
