[@onlySHAIMA]

Wow. With all these years of vlogging you decided to make a dedicated video about McDonald's! It's so fascinating how Americans prove time after time that they are living in their own bubble or THEY create their own bubble to do anything they want regardless of what happening around them and because of them. I salute the few polite comments but I can't. Eat and buy from these companies as much as you can but at least don't post a video about it. Boycotting is a statement, it is an objection of geno~cide. A statement that people are not falling for bad politics.

Unfortunately, you have to watch McDonald’s like a hawk. I only go through the drive-through and use the mobile order to app to get the deals. I’m usually ordering quite a bit of food so when I come out of the drive-through, I always have to pull over and double check that I have everything Nine times out of 10. I’m missing fries or a sandwich.

The Ice cream Machine is probably really getting serviced. It actually takes a couple hours because they’re dealing with a mess to take out the old left over ice cream.

I dont mind the self serve machines! The location I go to by my moms house, theres like a few self serves and then the regular counter with people, especially if you have cash or just want to order it with a person. But that location was always busy, lots of people sitting down eating, lots of staffs (young teenagers as well) but they would be cleaning the floor, the tables, etc. Drive thru was popular. I think it just depends on time of day, the day, and location wise. But the mcdonalds ive seen here in ontario canada, always has the self serve pop station with condiments, napkins etc! also i think judy was just ordering individual items, there is a button that says "make it a meal" and ask you what size drink/fries. I don't eat mcdonalds often, but from what I remember, I do remember those buttons :) as per the ice cream machine, There is a video where you can watch about it. Basically mcdonalds ice cream machine brand is paired with this company, and it "breaks down" often, so then they will need to call the company to come in and fix the machine, and because this happens often, that company that fixes it makes a lot of money for constantly repairing it. Also I did hear the machines does a cleaning cycle, but i don't think it takes that long!
