A thirty minute video about broken ice cream machines. Really? You have too much time on your hands for such inane drivel.
I can save you some time. Blue collar jobs went to china. Now we have a lack of people who can use a screwdriver or wrench. Now we’re supposed to “Learn to Code” so that some guy from India can take our job when we start making too much money at it.
The machines are complicated, have to be disassembled to clean and people arent really trained how to put them back together. And the company charges an arm and a leg to send out a rep. And he’s busy at another McDonald’s doing a 3 hour job a nightshifter was supposed to do right last night.
30 minute video....
I think he took some time to edit the original 92 minute version. I feel like it’s so rushed, now, though.
Kidding. I felt this way about a woman who posted a video of a front view car camera story of her trip to work over the shamefully bad potholes near my neighborhood. I didn’t watch but a poster said “I’ll never have that time back in my life that I lost by watching it.” I had better things to do like sorting canned goods in the cupboards by date or ironing all my underwear. Important stuff.
It says the machines are deliberately defective because the real way they make money isn’t from ice cream - it’s from overcharging for repairs.
I'll never in a million years understand FReepers who take the time to post on a thread, "why are you posting this drivel?" thereby ensuring the thread gets bumped back to the top for increased exposure.
Personally, I just ignore threads that I don't really care about.
I do care about the fact that every McDonalds shake machine seems to be not working EVERY time I go to McDonalds.
I like milkshakes and these machines always worked just fine up until a few years ago.
