Look at automotive and agriculture industries...."Franchises" are
buying OEM vehicles, implements, parts, tools, etc from corporate.

Corporations are not "non-profits," they make a buck from all sales.

Mac likely profited from the sale of these machines, but unknown about
servicing them.  Regardless, this shows Mac was not concerned with the
maintenance requirement, but they were fully aware only the OEM could
fix them...and that stinks.

"As of 2023, there were approximately 41,800 McDonald's restaurants
around the world."  Mr Mac had the power to tell the OEM maker,  "we
will fix them."  Local McDonalds around here have their own service
techs, and Mr Mac would have been aware of this tidbit.
