The company has faced criticism as prices soared in recent years, Mary Walrath-Holdridge reports, reducing revenue from lower-income consumers and thinning foot traffic in stores. As a result, Chief Executive Officer Chris Kempczinski said in a recent earnings call that McDonald's has to be “laser-focused on affordability."
