New Robot McDonald's Is Freaking People Out

"The first mostly non-human-run McDonald’s is open for business just outside Fort Worth, Texas.

At just one location so far, customers can drive to the golden arches and expect to be served a Big Mac or a Happy Meal by a food and beverage conveyor instead of an actual, real-life human being.

A spokesperson for McDonald’s told the Guardian that the test concept “is not fully automated”, emphasizing that the restaurant does employ a team comparable to that of a traditional store.

Smaller than a typical McDonald’s, the location is geared towards customers on the go rather than those who plan to dine inside. It limits interactions between team members and customers and uses “enhanced technology that allows the restaurant team to begin preparing customers’ orders when they’re near the restaurant”.

The goal of the test is to improve order speed and accuracy.

Customers can pick up their meals in a drive-through “order ahead lane” or order at the touchscreen kiosk inside the store.

McDonald’s called the concept “more seamless than ever before”.

But the stunt drew the ire of activists, who criticized the fast food corporation for entertaining the idea of a costly automatic restaurant rather than pay its workers a living wage."

Karens are going to have a fun time fighting the Terminator.

Congrats to Texas for having the world's largest vending machine.

They can't even get their ice cream machine to ever work, yet they think they can maintain a whole restaurant of robots?

[jules]

People complained about ATMs, self serve gas stations and grocery store self checkouts yet still using them for years now. Of course this is the next step!

[weerobot]

Ice Cream machine will Still be Broken 😅

[Max]

Is there a robot to fix the broken icecream robot?

On the bright side, employees won't have to deal with abuse from customers.

[ProtectChildrenNotGuns]

Too many people getting shot up at their workplaces by angry customers or disgruntled ex-employees. No one wants to go to work anymore.

[americanmademerica]

$20 an hour just to get my order wrong. will take the robotics over a human who can't read the screen to get my order right.

Everything benefits McDonald’s here. No dining means a smaller store, smaller carpark for staff only, etc.

[FoOtFoOt]

As an introvert, I find this a little appealing

[smith]

I live less than 10 miles from this McDonald's & that place stays busy. I dont blame stores doing this, alot of customers can be rude & mean for small things, especially when someone new works at the register & mistakenly mess up a order.

[JackFrost-nefv]

So this means the prices must drop. No employees to pay

[jenniferknight]

I think this is the wave of the future. There's pizza vending machines that make pizza right on front of you. The concept isn't out everywhere. I like this idea. All restaurants should go robo 100 percent

[pbr]

4/1/2024 minimum wage fast food in Cali $20.00 an hour. These will be everywhere. Bought 100 shares of MCD at $90.00 a share. Now they are at $282.00 with a dividend of $1.67 each quarter. Looking good to me.

[gggg-mthe]

They probably shouldn't have asked for the 15 dollar an hour raise lol

[ninjarmy]

at least workers don't have to worry about having drinks thrown at them through the drive through window

[jasonluther]

Wait till internet quits working and the whole system crashes😂😂😂😂

[jesse_cole]

If they create a robot Ronald, I'm calling on Biden to consider military intervention.
