Man, I used to be the guy who just swapped the part and moved on, figured that was the fix and called it done. After reading stuff like this I started actually testing the circuit first before I touch anything, because jumping stuff out is how you end up chasing ghosts for an hour. That nine dollar battery turns into a fried board real quick when somebody gets lazy.

40 minutes in March for fries? That is wild to me. I remember seeing videos where the wait was like 90 minutes and people were just standing in the rain for a paper tray of fries with stuff dumped on top. Now you walked up and got served in 2 minutes? That drop off is crazy fast. Sounds like once the hype got them the money they stopped trying. A place near me did the same thing, huge lines for months, then the owner started buying frozen stuff and the crowd just vanished.
