I heard they gotta clean them a certain way and sht very time they get an order and they don’t want to go through the hassle so they just say it’s broke

I guarantee it’s just the employees that don’t want to deal with it lol I can go to McDonald’s by my house early in the day and can order any ice cream but it never fails around 8pm the ice cream machine is always broken

Is beyond on me why a private company is being investigated for this reason...If people think that the broken machines is inconvenient for them, then you take your money elsewhere. How is Mc'donalds allowing for this investigation to go on? They got expensive lawyers to file motions to stop this.Our tax dollars hard at work
This should be a comedy sketch
just saw this comment
On MCD machines it will say a number 1-14 that's how many days left until it goes into freeze lock because it needs to be cleaned. So if you see 4. That means no one's cleaned it in 10 days and they just refill it.

I thought I read somewhere that they need to clean the machines daily and in order to do that the machine needs to be off. Could be wrong though 
Worked at McDonald's in high school. Its broken after 9 because they don't want to clean it.
