Reply to comment by cjeam in A McDonald’s location has opened in White Settlement, TX, that is almost entirely automated. Since it opened in December 2022, public opinion is mixed. Many are excited but many others are concerned about the impact this could have on millions of low-wage service workers. by Callitaloss

Lol, well that's not really even that close to fully automated then. There's a Dunkin by my house that has an AI taking orders at the Drive Thru. You pull up, tell the AI what you want, and then humans inside make it for you while you're working your way around to the Drive Thru window. The biggest difference here seems to be that they have conveyor belts delivering the food to people at the McDonalds.
