So every time I go to pretty much any McDonald's after 8:00pm, the employees invariably claim the shake machine is broken. In fact, just this weekend, my boyfriend and I were craving McFlurries. I decided to take a chance. Our local McDonald's was closed for remodeling, so we ended up having to drive 20 minutes to the next one. On the way there, I told him I bet the shake machine was broken. Sure enough, we hardly got the request out at the drive thru before the employee said the machine was broken. My boyfriend cursed up a storm.

I'm sure they DO break down from time to time, but be honest...more often than not, is it because you already cleaned the thing for the night and don't want to have to do it again?? Are you being lazy? Do the machines just suck and break down every day? Is there some maintenance routine they happen to run only in the evenings at exactly the time I want a shake?? Give me the inside scoop!
