There's three McD's by my home and every time I visit one, EVERY TIME, EACH ONE, they tell me the milkshake machine isn't working.

That's ironic. The chain was started because Ray Kroc was selling ice cream machines and created the chain as a purchaser of his machines.

Actually Ray Kroc didn’t start it. He was indeed selling multi shake blenders to restaurants and stumbled upon the original McDonalds which had a very simple menu, efficiently designed kitchen and essentially zero service staff other than the counter service. He bought into it (I think he bought the Franchise rights).
