Gather around because I've got some seriously cool news for you. Imagine strolling into a McDonald's, and instead of the usual hustle and bustle, you're greeted by a futuristic wonderland of technology. Well, that's exactly what's happening in Forth Worth, Texas – home to America's first fully automated McDonald's!

It's been almost 1 year since the facility was opened in Texas and the news caught the momentum. But, here is my take on it:
As someone who's always been a bit of a tech nerd and a lover of all things fast food, this caught my attention big time (even if I've been on a diet since March 2023 because of c0vid macro biome/gut issues....) So, I decided to dig deep and find out what this high-tech McDonald's is all about. And trust me, it's not your ordinary Mickey D's experience.

Picture this: you walk in, and there's no cashier waiting to take your order. Instead, you're welcomed by these sleek touch-screen kiosks. Want to customize your burger or go wild with extra pickles? The touch-screen is your playground.
And the best part? You can pay without even talking to a human – it's like the future just handed you a French fry.

Now, I know what you're thinking – what about the kitchen? Well, my friends, that's where the real magic happens. Forget about chefs in white hats – enter the robotic kitchen!
These high-tech culinary bots are like the Avengers of fast food, assembling burgers, toasting buns, and adding just the right amount of ketchup. It's like a symphony of efficiency back there, and the result?
Your order is being served up in record time.
But hold on, don't panic about the human touch just yet. This McDonald's still has a team of friendly faces to make sure everything runs smoothly. They're not flipping burgers, but they're keeping an eye on those robots, making sure your experience is as awesome as ever.

Hehe! Now, here's a juicy thought – what about jobs?
Well, according to the big golden arches, they say what they usually say: this isn't about replacing people, they just want to make things better, by using robotics and automation.
By letting the robots handle the routine stuff, the human crew can focus on what they do best ... making sure you leave with a smile and a satisfied stomach.

As I bounced around this automated wonderland, I couldn't help but wonder about the bigger picture. Is this the future of fast food, with other joints jumping on the automation bandwagon? Will we see more places embracing the tech side to keep up with our on-the-go lifestyles?

And here's where it gets really interesting – imagine paying for your Big Mac with Hive or HBD. As a Hive enthusiast, that got me buzzing with excitement. The idea of a decentralized currency sliding into our daily transactions, especially at a place like this, just feels right.

So, Hive crew, what are your thoughts on swapping your cash for some digital currency at McDonald's? And if you've swung by the Forth Worth joint, spill the fries – how was the experience? Did the robots live up to the hype, or do you miss the chit-chat with the cashier?

Let's dish on the future of fast food, the rise of robots, and whether we're ready to slide into a crypto-powered world of transactions. For our Texan pals, especially those who've had a taste of Forth Worth's automated McDonald's, we're all ears. Your insights might just flavor the future of how we chow down on our favorite fast food!

Thanks for reading! Are you in Texas? Have you seen this place yet?

With respect,
Zpek
