Fully-Automated McDonald's Here In Texas Sparks Debate

McDonald's has a new test concept up and running just outside Fort Worth. It's the chain's first fully-automated restaurant. The kitchen is still staffed by people, but the front of the restaurant and drive-thru are completely run by machines...no human employees behind the counter. TikTok user Foodie Munster visited the new location and captured the whole "zero human interaction" fast food experience. He also posted a longer, more in-depth video on his Instagram account.

Check out the original video below and a couple of tweets to give you just a little taste of the debate that's got "Texas is $7.25" trending on Twitter.
