As kid growing up in the 2000's i remember that if my grandma was in walmart she would always take me i remember walking through those golden Arches, those were the good old days. That's when my grandma was alive.I wish I could go back in time 😢😢😢😢
I grew up in the early 2000’s I remember when I was little and I saw the McDonald’s in the back of one of the stores it was one of my favorite Walmart locations to go to.
Yes I did first super Walmart I ever went to it had groceries the Walmart part and McDonald's I was so impressed and facinated. We both had like $50 to spend each we thought we were rich back then that was tons of money or seemed like it
I remembered my Walmart Supercenter in a city where i used to live used to have a McDonald's in the back when it was first built in around the late 90s, the McDonald's unfortunately didn't stay open there for long as it at some point closed like a year later, I however wasn't born yet at that time as i was born in the early 2000s, but that's what i learned, This brings back memories
These came along around the same time as the Wal Mart Supercenters which were amazing at the time because the idea of a grocery store inside of a Wal Mart was huge. Not to mention they expanded their selection, stayed open 24 hours a day, had demos for video games etc. Then DVD's became a thing not long after, the Playstation 1 came out... good times. My mom used to just drop me off at the Wal Mart down the street and I'd go to McDonalds, get a triple cheeseburger for $0.99 cents and just hang out in the electronics section for hours and bug the employees, following them around and talking to them. I actually had the manager eventually tell me to leave the employees alone, lol.
The grilled stuffed burritos like the image featured on the window of the old TB building in the video were amazing. They were basically a deluxe version of the current grilled cheese burrito, as they also came with beans and pico de gallon. Hard to imagine those are 20-30 years old at this point
My local Walmart had a Mcdonalds until around 2015. Once it shut down it turned into a furniture store for a while. The thing is, they never got rid on the red and white Mcdonald walls so it was just a furniture store in an empty Mcdonalds. Weird times.
My Walmarts McDonald’s had a whole vintage painted mural of this depiction of a 1950s McDonald’s with people in it. Sucks that minimalism became a thing and McDonald’s made every one to look the exact same
1:00 yeah sure things were cheaper then, but wages were lower the minimum wage was like $3-$5.15 an hour. Although, if you were middle class in the 90s and early 2000s then the cost of living is the American dream, but not for minimum wage workers and poor disabled people.
Taco Bell at least still has a real value menu. My favorite item on it now is the chicken enchilada burrito. I like the cheesy roll ups too. I can get 2 of the chicken enchilada burritos for $5, that’s not bad. The cheesy roll up was 99 cents, recently bumped to 1.19.
The 80's to the late 2000's era, right before 2012, was the period in modern marketing that anyone with a business model or lick of creativity ever created anything simply for the customer (Not consumer). Nowadays it is no longer about bringing fresh new ideas that are memorable because of their creativity and style. These "Fresh new ideas" they want now only involve the flow of money. And with with the progressive nature of technology and everyone's face in a screen, they see no point in putting in that extra effort. And it's not just McDonalds, Walmart, etc. It's EVERYTHING now. Easiest change is this minimalist mindset with logos, or the video game industry where these "Triple A" games are barely made or not even sold as a whole game. It all boils down to the greed man.
my local taco bell still has that older design on the exterior (somewhat) but the interior has been fully updated with the flat screen ordering panels and everything
My local Walmart took their McDonald's out around 2012. The drink section that replaced it smelled like McDonald's for a few years afterwards. I wish it was still there.
