That's how tightly controlled franchises work. They knew couldn't buy non corporate approved products when they bought a franchise and signed the agreement.
while Taylor and McDonalds profit off of red tape and buraucracy.
Please try to explain how McDonalds corporate profits from their franchises losing revenue and having to pay techs.
while McDonalds Corporate isn't on the hook for any of it.
You do realize that McDonalds corporate takes a percentage of a franchises sales?
Because McDonalds has a quid pro quo with Taylor. Theres a contract document that allows Taylor to to profit and scratch corporates back, which replaces lost sales revenue from ice cream sales, which is marginal in the McDonalds franchise. The issue is the owners are on the hook for repair costs, that dont factor into McDonalds sales commission, so from corporates eyes they see it as marginal at best. However, for the franchise owner, the costs have to be weighed with revenue, and therefore many stores have refused to clean or maintain their ice cream machines due to the extra costs, becoming a health hazard for the general public from unsanitary ice cream machines. Theres a domino effect here thats being completely ignored by only focusing on the McDs corporate bottom line.
Ive probably mentioned it before, but in case I havent (either on this thread, or in general) but I dont believe its the monetary value thats the primary problem here. Its the principle of the matter. Price fixing and monopolistic contracts are bad for the private sector, as well as the franchise owners and the general public. If I were a franchise owner, Id be pissed off that I wasnt given informed consent on this problem that clearly exists to benefit a few at the expense of others.

That's mere conjecture, but maybe its possible.

What do you propose then? Banning franchise agreements?

If you were a franchise owner you would have signed an agreement with McDonalds corporate that says you must do things their way. That's the cost of being a franchisee instead of an independent business.
Frankly I don't care that much about the woes of a Mcdonalds franchisees ice cream machine. They are adults and they signed the contract. They aren't going to starve to death because their ice cream machine breaks a lot. If its that bad they could have opened a Wendys. Kind of like you could go to a Wendys to get a frostee instead of McDonalds.
