The joke in college was that our dorm snackbar icecream machine was always "broken" on the night when my friends worked there. I just assumed McDonald's had the same issue where the manager on that shift just didn't want to deal with cleaning it later and marked it broken.

on reddit, numerous fast food workers have chimed in to say that it's not true, the machines are easy to clean, and it's a normal part of the job and management wouldn't let them get away with not cleaning them
I worked at an ice cream shop and cleaning our soft serve machine was always a miserable chore that no one wanted to do.
i think the fast food chain restaurants have streamlined it, compared to a mom and pop shoppe
