TRaining Workshop on avoiding CalOSHA fines is May 8 by candice choi The Associated Press neW YoRK » McDonald's is fighting to hold onto custom- ers in the U.S. The world's biggest ham- burger chain said sales at established U.S. locations fell 1.7 percent in the first three months of the year as guest counts declined. Af - ter a decade of consistent growth, sales also declined last year as McDonald's struggled to roll out an ar - ray of new menu items and fend off competitors. CEO Don Thompson said in call with analysts and in - vestors Tuesday that the company is working to im- prove its operations and marketing in key regions, including the U.S. "It's important to under - score it will take time for consumers to notice the changes and reward us with increased visits," he said. W hile acknowledging that McDonald's contin - ues to face numerous chal- lenges, Thompson stressed that the decline in U.S. guest counts in the latest quarter was largely the result of se - vere weather. Last week, however, Chipotle said its sales rose 13.4 percent on stronger customer traffic. The disappointing per - formance in the U.S. re- f lects the struggles Mc- Donald's is facing as people flock to chains that position themselves as higher-qual- ity alternatives. Thompson has noted that people with more spending money in- creasingly seem to be head- ing to such chains and that McDonald's needs to focus on underscoring value for its more cash-strapped cus - tomers. The focus on keeping prices affordable has pres- sured profit margins, par- ticularly given rising costs for ingredients. In the U.S., McDonald's said its ingre- dient costs rose 3 percent, driven primarily by protein. Inflation is expected to con- tinue at a similar level for the second quarter before easing in the second half of the year. In the meantime, Mc - Donald's is trying to adapt to shifting eating trends in a variety of ways, including the rollout of new prep ta - bles in the U.S. that can hold more sauces and toppings. The idea is to eventually offer greater customization on its menu while keeping orders easy to assemble for workers. Speed and accu - racy have been an issue for McDonald's as it stepped up the pace of new menu items. McDonald's, which has more than 35,000 loca - tions around the world, said global sales for April are ex- pected to be modestly pos- itive with "market dynam- ics" expected to remain sim- ilar to 2013. For the quarter ended March 31, sales rose 1.4 per- cent at established locations in Europe and 0.8 percent in the unit encompassing Asia, the Middle East and Africa, offsetting the decline in the U.S. Overall, global sales edged up 0.5 percent. Profit fell to $1.2 billion, or $1.21 per share. food indusTRY McDonald's 1Q profit slips as U.S. sales see decline by Tom Krisher The Associated Press deTRoiT » General Motors Co. is asking a U.S. bank- ruptcy judge to shield it from legal claims for actions that took place before the compa- ny's 2009 bankruptcy. But the reasons behind a company motion filed late Monday are in dispute. GM says it's only asking the judge to bar claims that some of its cars lost value due to a huge ignition switch re ca ll . Bu t a la wy er w ho i s suing GM says it's part of a broader strategy to force settlement of lawsuits al - leging the faulty switches caused deaths and injuries. GM is recalling 2.6 mil- lion small cars worldwide to replace the defective switches, which the com - pany says have caused at least 13 deaths. The switches can move from the "run" po- sition to "accessory" or "off," shutting down the engine and knocking out power-as- sisted steering and brakes. If that happens, steering can become difficult and drivers can lose control of their cars and crash. If the engine is off, the air bags won't inflate. The company has admit - ted knowing about the faulty switches for at least a de- cade, yet it failed to start re- calling the older-model cars until February of this year. The admission has brought allegations of a cover-up from members of Congress, who earlier this month held hearings on the recall. auTo General Motors seeks more protection from suits the AssoCiAted press Mcdonald's said sales at established united states locations fell 1.7 percent in the first three months of the year as guest counts declined. www.tehamafamilyfitness.com Tehama Family Fitness Center 2498 South Main St. Red Bluff • 528-8656 Pump & Run June 7, 2014 The Tehama Family Fitness Center presents a new unique strength component to the traditional 5k race.
