1950s Women In Business - Yikes! 

I suppose one of the universal constants is that the younger generation doesn't think the older generation knows or understands what there going thru so when someone says "I remember when" it just exhausts them because they can't possibly "remember when." not to mention customer service jobs just aren't like they used to be. quite frankly they're worse with more labor, less chance of upward mobility and poor pay. They weren't trained with the same standards as people where in your time. When you tell some cashier you "remember when" they've probably heard that over a dozen times that day and most of them are only functioning the best they can in a society that doesn't reward hard work that much anyway.

@@FritzMonorail This is a good point. Another aspect to consider is that billion dollar corporations downsize their workforce to maximize their profits, so you have 3 cashiers and 12 empty cash registers. And the customers get mad at the long lines and cashiers who have to pull double duty stocking and cashiering, but it's the corporate greed that is causing the issue, not the overworked employees.

It is also because people like you want the person you're demeaning to break a rule or violate a policy they can't change.

Well, the 1950's preceded the 60's, so it makes sense to me.

It's says 1950's

The date of this film is 1953. Remember in the 1940s, up until 1946 at least, we were in a war or early postwar period this was not appropriate during that time. David Hoffman - filmmaker

No. The fashions echo the 40s but the hair is clearly in the 50s and the cuts are more feminine.

@@DavidHoffmanFilmmaker I have watched wartime training films introducing women to the workplace in the 1940's. Both my grandmothers worked in factories and knew each other, before my parents met. Let's not forget the women's suffrage movement and how we got the right to vote in 1920, a few years after WW1. All of these things led up to the 60's.
