![Fast food has not stayed the same principle of “sit down, order, and get food,” but has turned into a process with multiple layers and complexity. This is largely due to the integration of automation in every aspect of dining. “I'm not that knowledgeable on it, but I've seen videos on TikTok, I'm not really concerned—it doesn’t seem that smart,” senior Dallas Evertt said. “When [some people are just ordering] 18,000 water cups, it sounds really dumb. There was no way [the AI] was gonna put down 18,000 water cups—and that just shows how it’s not going to take anybody’s job soon.”](https://southwestshadow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Dominante-Image-1200x675.png)
