Federal trade commission opens inquiry into why McD’s flurry machines are always broken

Enter the United States Federal Trade Commission. The FTC reached out to McDonald’s franchisees this summer seeking information on what, exactly, is going on with the broken ice cream machine problem, according to a letter it sent, viewed by The Wall Street Journal, and people familiar with the matter. The FTC declined to comment.
For McDonald’s devotees, not to mention the company itself, a dysfunctional ice cream dispenser is no small matter. The shiny metal machines crank out concoctions that account for about 60% of the chain’s dessert sales in the U.S., according to a consumer survey by research firm Technomic Inc. Repeated breakdowns have led customers to draw up petitions demanding that something be done.

True, but this is kinda awesome. Tell me you don't fantasize about some over-the-top shite like this every time one of those a-holes proudly proclaims that the shake machine is "broken".

Imagine fricking up something so simple for so long that US Federal Government has to investigate your situation.

McD’s flurry
Possible unpopular opinion: the McFlurry sucks

There is a really good youtube video that explains the way the manufacturer makes these machines and parts 100% proprietary as to create an additional revenue stream. The manufacturer is the only company authorized to work on the machine.

On the face of it, yeah, we’ve got much bigger fish to fry, but McD is a publicly traded company that is doing some shady under the table shite to fraudulently manipulate profits.

Boss: Ahh, Johnson! Good to have you on the team. We’re really doing some important work here at the FTC. You should take pride in your new assignment
Johnson: Glad to be here! What will I be spending our hard earned tax dollars on for the next 6 months.
Boss:You’ll be seeking information on what, exactly, is going on with the broken ice cream machine problem at Mc Donald’s.

Finally my tax dollars going to something productive

Why is the government involved in this?
If a fast food establishment wants to slack isn’t that a right of theirs?
And if the machine is a dud, isn’t that a private contract matter?
Muhhhh mommy and daddy….I mean government.

It’s absolutely on McDonald’s, they’re complicit, even coconspirators, in the situation.
