Kempczinski reportedly admitted that the company's sales had dipped in the wake of increased menu prices.

The fast-food chain noted reduced transactions among lower-income customers making under $45K a year, one of the company's core consumers.

Eating at home has become more affordable.

The battleground is certainly with that low-income consumer, Chris Kempczinski, McDonald's CEO, via ABC.

We are set up well to go after that, Chris Kempczinski, McDonald's CEO, via ABC.
