I've come to the conclusion that Jack in the Box does not actually serve shakes.

My BIL worked at McD's in HS. He told me that "the machine is down" is code for "nobody wants to clean it".
This. Pisses me off now when I want a cone, but the thing is was beast to clean when I worked there in 1996, so....

McD’s was my first job in HS. You knew your manager hated you when you got the close shift and had to break down the damn shake machine. It would take 2 hours & you had to clean everything, piece by piece, down to the rubber gaskets. Then you had to place all the parts into a tray that had little spaces made just for each individual part…down to those damn gaskets. I remember dozing off in class and having nightmares about the shake machines.

That is a logical argument, then why don't they say that instead of broken?
b/c people bitch less when they think something is broken instead of being cleaned.

I have found its 50/50 that they work around lunch time...a company as big as McDonalds should have more reliable machines. Also the last few excuses I got were "we are out of chocolate...would you like vanilla or strawberry"...how the frick do you run out when the machine is always broken

pretty much this. Worked at McD for 6 mos in college. It wasn't actually that bad of a job for min wage.
I will say that shite was always breaking though. I remember our softserve machine would break every day. Relatively easy to fix.

You want a shake? Then skip the McD's and head on over to Baskin Robbins.
Ask for Randall. He'll take care of you.

Every time I go to a fast-food restaurant, particularly after 10 at night, the shake machine is always broken. Without fail. So what's the deal, are they actually prone to breaking down, or are the people just too lazy to make a milkshake?
I'm sure sometimes they are just being lazy.
However, I worked at a Sonic my freshman year of college and those machines are incredibly unreliable. We had someone in there at least once, if not twice a month doing maintenance on both machines.

Whataburger is your soloution.

No, they have pre-closed it so they don't have to do it after closing time.

CAN I JUST GET ONE CHOCOLATE MILKSHAKE??!? ILL PAY FOR IT!!

The ice cream frosty and shake machines are mysteriously never "broken" in North Dakota or suburban WI and MN.
Only in New Orleans or Chicago propers from my experience.

The illumaniti doesn't allow it. If you consume any shakes in the late hours at night you mind is free of the satellites that control your mind
