Oftentimes the excuse we hear when trying to order our favorite frozen treat are that the machines are not working. However, according to the former employee of the fast-food chain, this isnt always true.
The tweet read, “Btw, I used to work in McDonalds. The ice cream machine was never broke, it just takes 3 hours to clean so we used to say it was broke so we didn’t have to serve you lot. Cheers x”

Another former worker said, “As an ex McDonald’s employee, the ice cream machine was always working it just took too long to clean it so we used to tell everyone it was broken hahaha.”
