Guns are also illegal there... It is almost like gangs do not respect regulations...

Did those people graduate from ice cream academy in order to qualify for the job
Some of them actually did graduate from "ice cream academy". Local Ice Cream parlor has reputation to maintain. Sometimes it is even directly operated by ice cream company.
McDonalds just runs automated machine somewhere in corner. They have no reputation to maintain, it is just borrowed franchise.
I think this article is missing the point. State sponsored cinemas should have a high standard. Playing something with shady copyright, would stain their reputation. Americans would not also play cheap porn in Super Imax theater...
Nobody in Russia cares if some local private/municipal theater plays DVD rip of Barbie...
"Qualified" person is not somebody who had evening school, and can hold screwdriver.
There is a chain of custody, paper trail, spare parts certification, logging... For example if there is a heat ex-changer that sometimes does not work, it may cause a lawsuit. McDonald (and insurance companies) wants to be able to sue ice cream machine manufacturer.
I also want to be able to replace any "suitable" parts in my car, but sadly government does not allow that! Remember, when everyone lost their shit with Volkswagen "cheating" in their software?
I would not let typical McDonald worker anywhere near my car.
Meat is cooked just before the use, it does not get poisonous very easily. Ice cream is very different. How would you ensure that managers throw away "good enough" batches of ice cream every evening?
Ice cream machines are not printers with cartridges. If you allow unqualified labor do "refills", there will be food contamination and people will die!
But we let worse things slide, so who cares. Enjoy your ice cream! :)
