Are the shake machines ever actually broken?

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?

They're breaking them down to clean them so they're not there all fricking night closing up the store.

That is a logical argument, then why don't they say that instead of broken?

What's wrong with that?

You shouldn't be eating ice cream that late anyway, fatass.

I don't think anyone there is smart enough to take the machine apart to clean it.

My BIL worked at McD's in HS. He told me that "the machine is down" is code for "nobody wants to clean it".

Why wouldn't you be out looking for shakes at 10pm?

They had to watch a training video and there is a picture guide next to the machine.

Next time you get milkshakes will you call me so we can hang out

Apparently it has a timer and a cleaning cycle that is automated and manually cleaning the thing for one shake is just too much of a hassle.

Because they have to clean it before they can go home for the night. So when they've already cleaned it and fatasses like the OP come around asking for a milkshake, they can either:
A. Make him his super special milkshake and then clean the machine again
B. Tell him it's broken and not GAF about his shake
C. Tell him he doesn't want to clean it again, which 9/10 people will throw a shitfit about.

At McDonald's, the machines supposedly clean themselves, and shut off for a certain amount of time when they do. The employees are only supposed to clean them once a week
