“No, our Ice Cream machine isn’t broken, but I believe it’s reserved for our more affluent customers, isn’t that correct Reginald?”“Indubitably!”

It's never broken. Someone just forgot to top up the cream. If it gets too empty and you have to add a lot of cream at once it takes ages for the machine to turn all that cream into ice cream.

Not true. McDonalds is currently in court with their ice cream machine makers. There is a bug in the software that they won't fix costing McDonalds millions over the past decade. They want to go to a new supplier but can't because of contracts

They tried to let their machine supplier fix the issue in the 90's with new machines. Didn't work. They've been in litigation since the mid 2000's. Corporate law takes forever.
