iFixit Tears Down McDonald's McFlurry Machine, Petitions Government for Right to Hack Them - Lemmy.world

There’s already a link to the vid talking about the utter bullshit and corruption surrounding the McD’s ice cream machines posted in this thread, but here’s a resource I haven’t seen posted yet: an online tracker to find out if your local McD’s ice cream machine is working or broken right now.

is the mcdonald's ice cream machine broken?

Holy hell! Look at UK.

What I don’t know is whether the UK has to comply with the same BS exclusive service contracts for their ice cream machines as the US does, or if it’s a similar arrangement only with different companies and manufacturers.

The McD closest to my house is almost always unable to sell ice cream products - it’s down more often that it’s working.
