I spoke with the staff at this McDonald's today. It turns out the sign was put there by a night shift manager who suddenly quit, and it was left up over night.

Below is how the internet reacted.

Wait, did they seriously have a shift of ONE PERSON at an entire mcdonalds such that one person quitting mid-shift shut it all down?

I'm willing to believe that, but my goodness, the sheer amount of neglectful staffing involved…!

Whoever walked off from that crap is great!

They should start making drive thrus like ATMs, you pull up to that shit and punch your own order in. Then all they really need is the cooking staff

Why don’t they save us all the trouble and put up a sign saying their milkshake machine isn’t working

This is the kind of thinking of somebody who has never worked at McDonald's or any customer service job where you are underpaid and understaffed 24/7 but also expected to keep up with the hundreds of people a shift, who also tells said people to get another job if they complain.
