Right to Repair

Whether it be electronics, automobiles or medical equipment, the manufacturers should not be able to horde “oem” parts, render your stuff useless if you repair it with aftermarket parts, or hide schematics of their products.

I'm guessing it's because McDonald's is getting some sort of kickback from Taylor. They're definitely coming out on top over this, otherwise they would have gotten out of it a while ago. This is McDonald's we're talking about, everything in that restaurant is intentional.
yeah someone is def getting rich with these expensive "repairs" by intentionally designing the hardware to require outside maintenance
likely management at mcd's has someone behind this even though this seems to cost invidual restaurants lot of downtime on products which doesnt really make lot of sense to support
It's depressing when things are purposely shitty for shareholder value.
Tim Hortons in canada used to have in-store bakers that cost about as much per baked good as the frozen pre-made shit they get now. But Tim Hortons corporate makes more by forcing franchisees to buy the frozen donuts, and the bakers were skilled labour they got to get rid of.
