McDonald's has opened up a fully-automated restaurant in Texas, which is completely run by machines so you don't have to speak to anyone, and it has left people on the internet divided.
The brand-new eatery, located just outside Fort Worth, uses advanced technology so that customers can order their food and receive their meal without having to interact with any humans, and while some people are excited about the idea, others find it a little creepy.
A TikToker who goes by the username @foodiemunster online recently visited the restaurant and documented the entire thing on the video-sharing app, and it launched a major debate among viewers.
The video featured a McDonald's with no employees behind the counter. Near the entrance, stood large touch screens for people to place their orders on.
'If you go inside, you’ll see that it’s like no other McDonald’s you’ve been to before. There’s one kiosk to order your food,' the TikToker explained.

I think Steve Martin was right about McDonald’s...
“I have a theory about McDonald’s, that is, everything they make is all one thing, and in the back they have this big vat full of this stuff, these little molds combining, like SPLURT ‘Hamburger!’ SPLURT ‘Malt!’ SPLURT ‘Paper box!’ SPLURT ‘Here’s your change, thank you!’”
I like the comment:
“I think it’s a good idea not to eat there.”
Couldn’t agree more.
I’m beginning to prefer to use the kiosks when possible. Number 1 you don’t have to deal with clueless employees...not all of them of course. But you don’t have to deal with attitude or ignorance when you want a specialized order. PLUS I KNOW if the order doesn’t go in correctly I’m the one to blame.
LOL. Simple, direct, and to the point.
This a real thing and there's a fascinating investigative report by a guy on youtube that figured out why.
