    I hope this goes ultra viral because I feel like that's the only way things could change for the better

    Since the video is relatively old now, I googled to see if there are any news on this, and apparently, Kytch has filed a lawsuit against Taylor and McDonald's for defamation. The monopolists filed a motion to dismiss the case, but it was rejected. So, apparently, there is a chance, that something will change.

    I also have news for you. This happens ALL OVER in every industry. I spent 8 years in the Marines and worked on the original F/A-18 Hornets. The body panels of that jet are held in place by flathead fasteners that the heads stripped on all the time. You couldn't use power tools because of the fuel and potential for spark so you had to hand drill them out. Literally any kind of fastener would have lasted longer, allen head, torx, hell even a Phillips head. But somewhere there was a company with a government contract to supply the military with easy stripping fasteners on a regular basis.Thats just one small example.

    I live in Europe. Never been told the ice cream machine is broken. Looks like Taylor don’t want their machines to work because they are earning so much from repairs. This is illegal to do in Europe as it’s extortion.

  • @metoo7557

    I used to clean these in the 80s as well.

    As a McDonald's Employee this makes a MASSIVE amount of sense. I can't tell you how many times I've looked over every inch of this machine, tried to decipher its cryptic messages with the manual like I'm referencing the Rosetta Stone, all while getting the look of death from customers who think I must be the biggest moron to ever work there because I can't get the ice cream machine to work. No matter what we always end up at that infamous conclusion: "Just call the guy..."

    the same business model as John Deer has, when farmers can't even install a new part on their equipment without "calling a guy"

  • @tarajoe07

    Haha. He nailed it with the full hopper being an issue. I worked maintenance and serviced these terrible machines. Managers would always tell workers to keep the hoppers full and would be confused that it fails. No matter how many times I told them to let it drop the level for overnight

    If you think that i'm gonna spend 1/2 hour learning why the ice cream machines of mcdonald's are broken....you're god damn right

    As a retired McDonald’s Owner, the Taylor machines were the bane of my existence. Back in the ‘90s these monsters cost around $18K each and worked (or not) like junk from day one. Great video reporting.

  • @xptechmikie

    This is so typical, with so many companies and corporations that it doesn't surprise me, one bit. Thank you for going through all this work to keep us informed. You are the best!

  • @ahtk9512

    It's very similar with cars:

    I love how even the Wendy's employees don't miss a chance to blast McDonald's

  • @joshkappel6358

    I work at McDonald’s... the number of people in the last few days who have come through the drive thru and told me that we are getting screwed over by Taylor is astronomical 😂

  • @MrMrsregor

    This is exactly the same problem with newer cars, car manufacturers, and dealership strategies
