McDonalds posted its weakest monthly sales results in over a decade, with global same-store sales falling 3.7% this August, The Wall Street Journal reported. The fast-food behemoth was still reeling from a supplier scandal involving the sale of spoiled meat in China last month as sales at existing locations in the Asia/Pacific, Middle East and Africa regions slid 14.5%. McDonald’s shares, which already had fallen more than 6% through Monday from their level before the supplier scandal surfaced in July, continued declining Tuesday. McDonald’s also continues to struggle in its home market, where same-store sales declined 2.8%.
