their ice cream machines are always broken. What's up with that?

Was lazy, went for lunch, wanted to use my free McFlurry coupon... NOPE









$15 an hour and too lazy to clean the damn machines is more like it.

I eat at McDonalds once a year to remind myself why I only eat there once a year.

Call the GM and ask why their ice cream machine never works. Bet it is magically fixed next time.

If you think those machines are really broken then I don't know what to tell you. Hell, I wouldn't be shocked if those machines weren't ever turned on.

Fast food industry secret: The ice cream machine is always working at Chick-fil-A.

ETA: And I've never been told "we're out of spicy."

They don't want to clean them. Or the GM is too stupid and never orders enough so they run out.

Bypass the GM and call their District Manager and post something about it on the Valluzzo's Company FB page.

That gets their attention REAL quick.

They give out those coupons to suck you in but they keep the machines off deliberately, so you have to buy other shite. It's one of their sleazy marketing gimmicks, and I heard this from a guy who owned a couple of those shitholes in Spokane, WA.

And in the greatest irony in history, Ray Kroc met the McDonald Brothers because he sold milk shake machines

I know this man.

I fricking hate McDonalds but I have a bunch of coupons that expire on the 15th and kids like the nuggets.

I cannot wait for the Chick fil A to open in October by me.

They just don't like you, bro. It's never broken when I go in there.

The one on Loyola is never ever working. I should have gone by the mall.

They pay a third party to clean them, rather than that being a duty of the employees...that is normally the real issue, they are waiting to be cleaned.

You should organize a picket in front of McDonald's until the problem is fixed.

On second thought, maybe having a bunch fatties out in the heat all day is a bad idea.

Write a letter all in caps to emphasize your anger.

Having worked at a Sonic during school, I can attest that those types of ice cream machines do have consistent issues.

Although I have known some employees to lie to customers to avoid having to do extra work.

For whatever reason, McD doesn't operate those machines. They contract it out to a third party.

Went to get an Oreo McFlurry and they gave me back soft serve with the Oreo poured on top. Asked her why it wasn't mixed and she said they don't do that anymore because it gets everywhere.
Bitch, don't lie to me.
