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.
My local Shoppers Drug Mart is making it so inconvenient to use the only cashier they ever have on duty that people are walking out in frustration as they can’t or won’t transact their business with the automated tellers.
