What's to defend? I think it's stupid too, they don't need to add vanilla syrup to the milk shake. Like you said, it's already vanilla flavored ice cream.
Here's another thing we do at our McDonald's that's stupid. When we make sweet tea, we use 1lb of sugar per gallon. We put a pot of extremely hot water in first and mix it up to dissolve the sugar. Afterwards, we put ice in the buckets. Our tea brewer already makes hot water, that way it can make the tea. That's not the problem though. See, we do the exact same thing, minus the sugar part into making normal ice tea. I think that is so stupid! We don't need the extra hot water for the normal tea. We can just use more ice.
Oh, that reminds me. If you ever get a drink from McDonald's. Ask for little ice or no ice, especially for the the tea. You get more out of your drink. Also, I'm not allowed to do this, but I do, because I can. I put my soft drinks into the coffee cups. So, when I drink it, it's still cold. You would be surprised how styrofoam keeps it cold/hot.
Oh, one more thing. If you want to be an ass and have your food freshly made. Ask for no seasonings on the meat or not salt on the fries. This makes the crew upset, but fuck them. This gets you freshly made food. The only problem, you'll need patience.
