Should Australian Federal Government Mandate That All McDonald's Ice Cream Machines Are Operational?

Every time I walk into McDonalds, in particular in the more ethnic parts of Melbourne the stores ice cream machine is either-

  • being cleaned
  • say the machine is "broken"
  • make you wait for the machine to stop being cleaned

With the latter, sometimes the added time is reasonable, other times not so.

Whilst we can all agree that big businesses who pay no or next to tax are detrimental to our economy, so are the steady stream of McDonalds who refuse to do the right thing.

Personally, I'd love to open a cafe, but I know that I would never be able to compete with immoral operators, who live in the cash economy.

What I'm proposing is that federal government make is illegal not to have functioning ice cream machine, that the banks offer the service for a piecemeal amount, say $50 per month and that shops therefore no longer have ice cream machine outages.

    That in time, you will look back on your first post and wish you had said something profound and world changing.

    Username checks out.
    Besides we need McDonalds to have non-functioning ice cream machines for the memes.

    Government should mandate birth control but too late now as we are stuck with you

          One doesn't just "eat" a tide pod…

    What do you think?

    Should have at least updated this line from the original

    I'm not sure if forum posts are becoming more funny or more sad ….eiher way, there seems to be an increase in wasted characters ;)

      judging by this post - more sad.

    I'd be very happy if the government nationalised McDonalds. That way the government could ensure that McDonald's doesn't commit violence against the population, such as for example when they take the McDouble off the menu.

      Then we would have SoftiesToTheNode STTN

  • Nugs on 20/05/2018 - 18:33

    yes, and kfc

    Chocolate soft serve looks like poopy.

    We need to get ASIO involved in this important national security issue.

  • pegaxs on 20/05/2018 - 19:24

    That and coffee machines that have an hourly throughput of “more than one”.

    How about a que system that actually que people in order in drive through, instead of that 2 lane bullshit thing.

    An express lane would be nice. 2 items max/1 value meal max/no order changes or less lane.

      Order in app for drive through pickup.
      Simple.

    while we are at it - let's mandate for fresh fries every time.

  • TransportPosters on 21/05/2018 - 09:02

    I read an insider's article and the worker said that most times the soft serve is not available because it simply needs refilling and the workers are too busy to do it until orders slow down. This would mean employing an extra worker to help the orders and free someone to be able to do that, and that might mean higher prices, so would rather avoid that.

    This is a trick question. McDonald's don't sell ice creams, McDonalds sell soft serve

  • TheSmegger on 21/05/2018 - 12:02
