NEW YORK, Feb. 10 (Xinhua) -- McDonald's U.S. store sales and earnings fell as the burger chain dealt with the fallout of an E. coli outbreak hitting its domestic business last year, according to its latest release.
The company said its U.S. same-store sales declined 1.4 percent in the three months ending on Dec. 31, driven in part by customers spending less money per visit. A slowdown in the pace of price increases across restaurants also contributed.
