By the way, the reason the McDonald's ice cream machine is always down is because one company essentially provides all of the machines. As a result, they control the maintenance of it by having vague error codes and not providing a proper manual so that McDonald's employees wind up having to call their technicians to come and service it. Either that or the employees try running it through a clean cycle to try to fix the error which takes FOUR HOURS to complete and can't be interrupted.
