McDonald's and Yum Brands, which owns KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut, missed analyst estimates in their 2024 first-quarter earnings. The limited-service restaurant category saw prices rise more than 46% over the course of the past decade, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Experts say that increasing labor costs are the primary driver.

Fast food has become increasingly expensive — and some consumers are changing their spending habits because of it. Fast-food chains such as Chick-Fil-A and Taco Bell are included in the limited-service meals and snacks category in the consumer price index report, which shows prices are up nearly 28% from 2019 to 2023. The full-service meals and snacks category, which covers sit-down restaurants with servers, meanwhile, has increased about 24% and overall CPI was up by about 19% in the same time period. "There were increased commodity costs. "But what continues to be ahead of historical averages is the increase in labor costs that restaurants are seeing."

While the industry has grown more popular, it has come under fire, as owners often struggle to exit their contracts. "I could have retired if I had my money back from this, but I can't retire right now because of this situation that I'm in," said timeshare owner Sheila Wagner. The timeshare industry is valued at more than $10 billion. Some timeshare companies will take back the deed once a buyer has paid off their entire contract, but that is not always an option. Even after the timeshare is fully paid off, the owner is accountable for rising annual maintenance costs.

However, lounges have become so popular that some face overcrowding, and companies such as Delta are making it harder to get airline status.

Garver, a backup catcher who hadn't played yet in the 2023 playoffs, hit his grand slam for a 9-2 lead. Garver was in the lineup because it was “just time to get him out there” — to quote Bochy pregame. Corey Seager became the first player to walk five times in a postseason game and scored twice.

☆ How Wonder Bread has survived competition and the fall of white bread

With an increasingly health-conscious U.S. population and a bread industry that looks immensely different from what it was just a few decades ago, it may come as a surprise that Wonder Bread is still around. In fact, it makes up a sizable portion of its parent company Flowers Foods' overall portfolio, alongside Nature's Own and Dave's Killer Bread, Flowers Foods' two most popular brands. In the first half of the 20th century, white bread accounted for as much as 30% of the American diet. The rise of industrial white bread mirrored World War II-era fears of immigrants, many of whom owned small bakeries at the time. While Wonder Bread has somewhat fallen out of favor, people do still eat white bread, and Wonder Bread remains a profitable part of the Flowers Foods portfolio.
