The most annoying thing EVER: Going to McDonald's for their soft serve cones and finding out their ice cream machines are down. It happens A LOT. So often, their official Twitter account is making jokes.
But the people who run McDonald's franchises don't see it as a joke . . . they're losing money when people can't buy ice cream from the broken machines. And they've decided to take matters into their own hands.
So a bunch of independent franchise owners have formed a team to find new machines that don't break as often. And once they find a more reliable machine, they'll present it to McDonald's corporate to have it approved.
