In October 2022, [executives were boasting](https://www.cnbc.com/2022/10/27/mcdonalds-mcd-earnings-q3-2022.html) that they’d been raising prices without crimping traffic, even as competitors began to warn that some customers were closing their wallets after inflation peaked above 9% that summer. Still, the U.S. had repeatedly dodged a much-forecast recession, and [Americans kept spending on nonessentials](https://www.nbcnews.com/business/economy/year-peak-inflation-travel-leisure-mostly-cost-less-rcna92760) like travel and dining out — despite regularly relaying to pollsters their dismal views of an otherwise solid economy. Even so, 64% of consumers said they noticed price increases at quick-service restaurants in September, more than at any other type of venue, according to a survey by Datassential, a food and beverage market researcher. Politicians are still drawing attention to fast-food costs, too, as the election season barrels toward a tumultuous finish. A group of Democratic senators this month [denounced McDonald’s for menu prices](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/democratic-senators-slam-mcdonalds-menu-price-hikes-rcna176380) that they said outstripped inflation, accusing the company of looking to profit “at the expense of people’s ability to put food on the table.” The financial results come toward the end of a humbling year for the nearly $213 billion restaurant chain, whose shares remained steady on the heels of its latest earnings. Kempczinski [sought to reassure investors](https://www.cnbc.com/2024/10/29/mcdonalds-e-coli-outbreak-ceo-comments.html) that [the E. coli outbreak](https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/illnesses-linked-mcdonalds-e-coli-outbreak-rise-75-cdc-says-rcna177260), linked to Quarter Pounder burgers, was under control after the health crisis temporarily dented the company’s stock and caused U.S. foot traffic to drop nearly 10% in the days afterward, according to estimates by Gordon Haskett financial researchers. The fast-food giant [reported Tuesday](https://www.cnbc.com/2024/10/29/mcdonalds-mcd-earnings-q3-2024.html) that it had reversed its recent U.S. sales drop, posting a 0.3% uptick in the third quarter. Foot traffic was still down slightly, but the company said its summer of discounts was paying off. But by early this year, [photos of eye-watering menu prices](https://x.com/sam_learner/status/1681367351143301129) at some McDonald’s locations — including an $18 Big Mac combo at a Connecticut rest stop from July 2023 — went viral, bringing diners’ long-simmering frustrations to a boiling point that the company couldn’t ignore. On an earnings call in April, Kempczinski acknowledged that foot traffic had fallen. “We will stay laser-focused on providing an unparalleled experience with simple, everyday value and affordability that our consumers can count on as they continue to be mindful about their spending,” CEO Chris Kempczinski [said in a statement](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/mcdonalds-reports-third-quarter-2024-results-302289216.html?Fds-Load-Behavior=force-external) alongside the earnings report.'}, {'index': 3, 'tags': ['food_&_dining', 'news_&_social_concern'], 'content': '![mcdonalds drive-thru economy fast food](https://media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com/image/upload/t_fit-760w,f_auto,q_auto:best/rockcms/2024-10/241024-los-angeles-mcdonalds-drive-thru-ac-1059p-cfc311.jpg)McDonald’s has had some success leaning into discounts this year.

Despite a difficult quarter, McDonald’s looks resilient in the face of various pressures, analysts say — something the company shares with U.S. consumers overall. “Consumers continue to be even more discriminating with every dollar that they spend,” he said at the time. Going forward, McDonald’s would be “laser-focused” on affordability. “McDonald’s has also done a good job of embedding the brand in popular culture to enhance its relevance and meaning around fun and family. But it also needed to modify the product line to meet the expectations of a consumer who is on a tight budget,” he said. “The thing that McDonald’s had struggled with, and why I think we’re seeing kind of an inflection point, is a value proposition,” Senatore said. “McDonald’s menu price increases had run ahead of a lot of its restaurant peers. … Consumers are savvy enough to know that.” For many consumers, the fast-food giant’s menus serve as an informal gauge of the economy overall, said Sara Senatore, a Bank of America analyst covering restaurants. “The spotlight is always on McDonald’s because it’s so big” and something of a “bellwether,” she said.
