As warmer weather hits, the Biden administration is taking the problem of broken down ice cream machines at McDonald's seriously.
Regulars to the fast food chain may notice how frequently malfunctions seem to occur with the soft-serve machines leaving customers screaming for ice cream but forced to head elsewhere.
The reason for such icy service is because only one company of technicians are authorized by the machine's manufacturer to perform repairs.
It means McDonald's franchises that need machine maintenance have to join the queue, rather than simply summoning a local engineer to fix the problem.
The government is pushing for easier repair options for soft serve ice cream machines in McDonald’s
Federal agencies have requested exemptions to allow franchise owners more freedom in repairs as current restrictions limit repairs to authorized technicians
The broken machines cost franchises $650 a day in lost sales
But the U.S. government is now urged for reforms to be made that would make the soft serve ice cream machine
