Inflation has been pushing prices higher, and shoppers are feeling the pressure as they pay more for goods like groceries and gas.
CFO John Lawler said this week that delinquencies on car loans are starting to tick up too. Although the increase could signal tough times ahead, he said said it's not yet a worry, since delinquencies had been low.
The restaurant industry is also seeing signs of potential trouble, although how eateries are affected could vary. The cost of food away from home rose 7.4% over the 12 months ended in May, but prices for food at home climbed even faster, shooting up 11.9%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
