McDonalds does it on purpose to give work to the “technicians” that service the machines. They’re bogus simple issues like overfilling that lock the machine down until they use their service tool to clear it. Great doc by Johnny Harris if you have 30min to kill

I hope her creative resistance doesn’t get incorporated as part of the brand of her workplace.

Yeah, the marketing version of “inclusiveness”.
“We are a great, hip and youthfull place to work: just look at *picture of male model with a hipster beard* Joe from Accounting”
It’s the result of about the same process as their businesswise evaluation of complying with regulations: they usually conclude that the profit maximizing option is to provide the appearence of complying whilst internally and through less explicit methods (usually all in choices that aren’t explicitly justified) acting in a completelly different way.

One a sidenote, I never got the point of e.g. xbox rooms and ping pong tables in offices. Why the hell would I want to relax in a place of work? I want to do my work, then go home (to relax). Playing 30 min video games in the afternoon would mean that happens 30 mins later.
