You're assuming fleetwide homogeneity. It's possible that there's a disproportionate number of machines in minority areas misconfigured. It's possible that there's a disproportionate number of machines in minority areas that are old-style manual-clean. It's possible that there's a disproportionate number of machines in minority areas disabled for some other reason (ingredient supply disruption? Demand not worth the c…
If they're automatically reporting via API to the online store, so the author can check the status in his script, they're all the same model with auto-sanitize. The old manual clean models always report online, then the customer gets rejected and refunded when they actually go pick up their order, as mentioned elsewhere in the thread about some NYC locations. Nice try, but you know, burden of proof on the accuser and…

The machines still get taken apart and washed by hand, along with some maintenance, every 14 days. So every machine will additionally be off for an afternoon every two weeks.
So it's basically a perpetual stew ice cream for 14 days? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perpetual_stew
Basically, yeah. They get refilled multiple times a day, and it's continually stirred, but only completely emptied during maintenance.

That adds doubt on one possibility (though I don't know if those devices are reporting their up/down status via a voltage checker for manual cleaning units), but there are other possibilities.

#245I don't have much sympathy for a huge corporation like McDonalds, but isn't this is kind of an asshole move by the developer?

are you equating buying beef to the holocaust? And since I buy beef, are you equating me buying beef with the halocaust. And because I buy beef, should I also get thrown in prison?
Would it be more reasonable if everyone who bought beef be thrown in prison?

Not the same, but plastic-y chemicals have been used in fast food before. https://www.eater.com/2016/8/8/12403338/subway-yoga-mat-chem... https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2014/03/06/286886095/al...
Yeah! Whatever you do, never eat pretzels! They dip them in oven cleaner before baking, then they sprinkle them with those crystals they use for removing ice from roads!
And dihydrogen-monixide figures heavily in their production. Nearly everyone that's ever died had consumed DHMO in the 24 hours leading up to their death!

Lye dipped pretzels are a thing! I didn’t know that thanks!

You are small potatoes so no. As always, context matters. You don't really cause enough damage to be considered a threat to the entire human species.
How much meat do you need to buy to be thrown in jail?
I don't know. It's your fantasy. What number would you find most tittilating? Let's pick something that would really light your brain up.
How about 1 quarter pound, life in solitary confinement? Are you entertained yet? Do you feel something?

#250Interesting, there's a location off the coast of San Francisco in the pacific ocean called "Morocco Mole Lab Pacific Ocean, Pune"
Anyone know what that's supposed to be? Maybe a dummy location for test data?
