This is a conspiracy that needs to be resolved.

Life of the machine
caughtyoulookin
I lived 3 blocks away from a McDonald’s for 20 years and never had this problem when I went I never understood the joke
Daneasaur
I've lived 4 blocks from a McDonalds for 27 years. The machine was broke when we got here and was never fixed.

I don't know if it's in the rule book but they treat people with coupons like crap as well. God forbid they do a job they get paid for.
Sauroctonus
But is it that plain, not vanilla, crap?
13thDiablo
Understandable.
ChinMusic
I don't evenbother trying to order ice cream at mcdonalds anymore. Every time it's either broken or being cleaned. EVERY time.
OPmakesOC
Understandable, have a nice day
BlackIC
Where the hell are all these McD's with busted ice cream machines? I have never had that problem.
Silvercypher
I'm guessing-in the cities and towns just outside of yours. lol jk
RVME
You would think that with all the bad press (including me), that McDonalds would do something about it, like redundancy.

Understandable, have a nice day.
Cgyachilles
I don't understand. I've never once been told the machine is broken
DamianWinters
Its probably just at the really busy Mcdonalds, which is why alot of people complain.
Silvercypher
More people have been told "It's down or broken" than not. Trust me. -Random Internet Guy
ProbablyNotAnActualElephant
The people who got the contract for the machines knew what job security was. So they designed them to break down from normal use, often.
madjackwastaken
The people who made the machines aren't those who come to fix it - in the UK at least.
afartnSpartan
That's...that's not it at all. The only time it's "broke" is when it's being cleaned at any decent location.
JeffSmurthers
lerzz
"ice cream"
motoalchemist
thats not ice cream
lizthearchitect
Free ice cream always at Dickey's BBQ, but machine is alwaysssss broken!
BritishBatman
I have never once encountered a broken ice cream machine at McDonalds
shinagami091
Imma tell you a secret. Its hardly ever actually broken. They just dont want to make it.
afartnSpartan
That just means you never go to the ghetto McDonald's
Freeflare
If you show up late night all the time you might run into it being cleaned, but it's not typically broken unless the store sucks.
dustwindbun
I worked for McDonald's in HS, full time 2 summers in college. Out of all that time, I think our ice cream was down a total of a dozen hours
ikazejin
Dude I know this is a meme, but no joke the two McDonalds that I visit have their ice cream machine not working half the time.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhno
Went to McDonald's- out of ice cream. Went to Checkers- out of coke, ice cream and slushies. Drove for nothing.
NotAHugeSpider
Got stuck on the side of the road- out of gas.
IAmAHollow
BROKEN MCDONALD'S MACHINE EXPLAINED! WOW! CLICK FOR MORE INFORMATION!
IAmAHollow
Management never invests in the resources to train more than just one person to clean and maintain the Saft serve machine. An employee 1
IAmAHollow
can only work so many hours. Soon as the slightest problem occurs, machine is down until that person is on staff, even if the problem 2
IAmAHollow
can be solved by a literal push of a button. 3
shinyalpaca
I've worked at mcdons for a couple of years and I can say during the day the machine just can't keep up, 10 cones, the mix comes out liquid
idontevenknowsillymonkey
The soft serve ice cream at McDonald's in the US doesn't taste nearly as good as the McDonald's soft serve here in Australia.
idontevenknowsillymonkey
I'd enter that competition here, I wouldn't even fucking bother in the US.
BadgerBadgerBadgerBadgerBadgerBadgerMushroomMushroom
right i work and maccies and that machine is a piece of shit its always fucking up in some way or another
BadgerBadgerBadgerBadgerBadgerBadgerMushroomMushroom
if its not spilling shakes all over the floor its not freezing the ice cream AND you know how much one of those costs? 13k pounds so 15k$

A show about horribly obese people
IJustWantToSetMyBoobsFree
It's probably a fat getting thing
thundershocknow
Plot twist, its not actually broken. Its in heat mode for cleaning. Its just easier to say it's broken.
madjackwastaken
Every goddam time. People don't seem to get it goes into heat mode every day at the same time.
Serrahfina
What is heat mode and why can't you use it during that/ schedule it for 3am?
madjackwastaken
It's the cleaning mode and it is scheduled for 2am - at least where I work. Some machines might not be 24/7 and need it earlier.
Brizzly1146
I never want a mcflurry. I was looking forward to said mcflurry. I ordered at drive thru. Drove around, paid. Last window... machine is down
AndreKroon
I hope you got your money back atleast
Paroxzyme
I wanted a burger, the Mrs wanted a milkshake; "sorry, we're out of buns and the milkshake machine is broken".
IsuckAsthis
I wanted ice cream, went to nearby maccas machine was broken. One just down the road machine was being cleaned. Went to servo, freezer broke
Rogahar
Why the fuck did they let you order and pay for it then? Assholes.
HighlySexualLobster
Didnt know because they were in other state? http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/11/technology/the-longdistance-journey-of-a-fastfood-order.html
Brizzly1146
Because they had a bunch of teenagers working the drive thru not paying attention. It pissed me off.
Brizzly1146
You people downvote me but this is the same mcdonalds that forgot to put the actual meat on a burger I got from there before.....
SmartererThanYou
No, I simply find it exhausting seeing people use a group of teenagers as a scapegoat for every minor inconvenience.
Brizzly1146
Well when it's actually true.... it's not a scapegoat anymore, just a fact.
PreciousPotato
Because it probably only just happened and the guy in the window didn't know about it, yet. Especially in summer - those machine are the /1
PreciousPotato
shit and often can't keep up with the orders. 6 McFlurrys in a row and you have to wait for 20 minutes or so for it to cool down enough /2
BrettHereth15
Dairy queen doesn't seem to have a problem making 6 blizzards in a row.
PreciousPotato
So what? Just telling you how it is from the perspective of an employee. I don't build or buy those things.
PreciousPotato
mix so it won't come out liquid. I would usually start my shift asking whether we got icecream or not.
ZOMGNO
Those machines are shit, or they are THE shit?
InfiniteSynapse
How hot does your place have to get? I'm in a tropical country our softserves are fine.
Kavatika
I worked in a small ice cream shop for 14 months, even after making about 12 flurries and multiple conesin a row we didn't have a broken 1/2
Pegussu
Orders are generally taken by the person in back booth which is miles away from front counter where ice cream is made.
uplord
That's not an excuse, specially for a company like McD. And you know they have intercoms right?
Fraggleish
I thought lemonade was made round the front
Brizzly1146
It's 15 paces apart from the 2.
Pegussu
Which in terms of actually working in the store is miles away.
CthulhusGreasyBallsack
"HEY JERRY IS THE ICE CREAM MACHINE BROKEN?" how fucking hard is that?
Brizzly1146
Miles away ? The whole store can be walked in 30 seconds. A mile is 5,280 ft
