I don't go to McDonalds.   :-)

We have far too many more interesting killer-food purveyors down here.
Once you've had a fried [choose one] shrimp/oyster/catfish/softshell
crab po'boy, a Big Mac doesn't seem so big. Were I ever in McDonald's,
though, I would ask for paper napkins. The context would unambiguously
allow for plain old "napkins," but some experiences are too deeply
embedded to forget. In other instances, simple codeswitching would
suffice.
