Technology has taken the world by storm. Modern technologies such as artificial intelligence, industrial robots and machine learning are advancing at a rapid pace. While most of us have encountered these things only in a sci-fi movie, have you ever imagined going to a restaurant where there is no staff to take your order? Instead, everything is completely automated and you are the only person there. Now this may sound strange to you, but the first McDonald’s automated restaurant in America is about as real as it gets.

The video of this restaurant without staff was posted on Twitter by ‘Now This News’. The clip shows how once you walk inside, there is no one at the counter, and you have to place your order on the screen. Sometimes, there are robots walking around that bring your food to you. And if you go through the drive-thru, you just order online, and then an automated machine starts delivering the food. The first McDonald’s outlet of its kind opened in White Settlement, a suburb of Fort Worth in Texas. Watch the video here:

For now, McDonald’s is testing the concept at only this location. The company says that this location has been designed for people who are on the go. Customers receive their orders from a conveyor belt and there is an employee on hand to answer their questions. The video instantly grabbed attention and people started commenting on the post. “There’s a town called White Settlement? The irony of advanced technology first appearing there,” wrote one.
Another person said, “Ordering a Big Mac shouldn’t be that hard. Who do I talk to if my order isn’t right? A robot?”
A third comment read, “Anyone want to write this dystopian novel? Anyone want to guess who’s working the Grail?”
“No thanks. I’m not doing anything to encourage jobs being taken away by robots.” Another person wrote.
