Cool BreezeHi CB. I thought it was McDonalds but I wouldn't really know, I only enter the premises to use the toilets.
After all, I recently posted an extract from an American newspaper in which McDonald's is used as a plural. It sounds perfectly natural (and terribly incorrect) to my ear, so I suppose it sounds equally good to native ears.
