- gruez 6y agoThis question comes up frequently on reddit, and the oft repeated reasoning is: 1. the machines need to be cleaned every n hours 2. there's no failover 3. you're likely to visit the mcdonalds at the same time (eg. getting home from work) so if you're unlucky with timing, the machine would appear to be always broken from your perspective.

The only hard rule he had was "never eat soft serve ice cream". Before technology was all there, the machines back then were apparently nightmares in terms of safety.
