Multinational fast food chain McDonald opened its first entirely automated store in Texas, which doesn’t have even a single human in flesh to run it. Everything, right from accepting orders to delivering the stuff is being done by robots.

A comprehensive video in this regard has been shared on Twitter where entire exercise has been shown. “A first-of-its-kind McDonald’s has opened in White Settlement, TX, a suburb of Ft. Worth. The location is almost entirely automated, with machines handling every aspect of the consumer experience — including the drive-thru window,” the caption reads.
The order is placed using a touchscreen settled in the store while robots could be seen deliver orders.
However, netizens seem to be irked over the introduction of new concept as they believe it would take away many jobs.
