IIRC this is the reason McDonald's ice cream machines were always down, because the Taylor company that made them had this exact same contract, but they finally reversed that policy a few years ago. Now Terumo Cardiovascular is doing the exact same shitty practice, likely with the exact same outcome: broken machines that don't work when you need them to. One step forward two steps back in this fucking dystopia
Even worse, the McD ice cream machine issue was caused my McD themselves, by having requirements around cleaning cycles that were tighter than the machine could do.
The same machines worked fine at other companies.
