Actually it was the intersection of the PA Turnpike exit and 81. And that meant trucks and people from the entire west were stopping there on their way to NYC and the northeast. And it was not generally well-managed, because it was hard to get people to care. So it was poorly cleaned, didn't smell exactly right, etc.

Nevertheless, because of its location, you had a large number of people coming in from their home bases and winding up at our stupid little McD, generally to find disappointment.

That summer they first came out with Chicken McNuggets, in Pittsburgh only, in a test marketing. So there were good numbers of people who would come in and ask for McNuggets, and we had to tell them that they couldn't have them, at which point they would become very sad.
