FINAL PROJECT VIDEO
In Depresso Espresso, immersants are new hires at a coffee shop, experiencing their first closing shift with only one senior worker in the store. As they learn and perform various tasks around the store, immersants witness and experience mistreatment firsthand. Throughout the evening, customers become more demanding and less empathetic, leading immersants to gain awareness of the social underlyings of the dehumanization of low-wage workers.
