What I don't understand is, this (broken McFlurry machines) hurts McDonald's reputation. Why one Earth do they put up with this? They are large enough they should not have to.
- abfan1127 5y agoI've seen this once before. A company was using a travel agency to book corporate travel. Only, the "special pricing" was 2x that of Expedia. With only some basic digging, one of the Exec VPs was married to the owner of the travel agency. I wonder who in the McDonalds corporate tree is related to Taylor or the parent company.

- ncmncm 5y agoYou imagine that people working for McDonalds act in the interest of McDonalds as a company. But instead, within a big corporation there are fiefdoms and factions. People at McD mostly act within those. Higher management plays favorites. McD's "reputation" generates no revenue, so has no voice unless the CEO worries about it. But the CEO is probably focused on revenue targets and personal bonuses instead. In this case, somebody influential at corporate seems to feel they are not getting enough tax revenue from franchisees, and that the kickbacks they get from Taylor are worth the damage to McD's reputation.
