A former McDonald's employee has revealed the real reason why the soft-serve ice cream machine is always "broken".
Will Doyle claims that the machines always appear to be broken because workers can't be bothered to clean them. He wrote on Twitter that a single machine takes three hours to clean
which makes staff reluctant to serve ice cream in the first place.
"Btw, I used to work in McDonald's. 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," Doyle shared on Twitter.
Another former worker replied to Doyle's tweet agreeing with the statement alleging that the machine was always working but "took too long to clean" so workers would tell customers it was broken.
The tweet was shared more than 10,000 times with Twitter users commenting on the McDonald's secret.
