I prefer the old logo and colors of Walmart. To me it was more inviting and had more character compared to the drab brown and greys of today. Our Walmart used to look like this throughout the 2000s when we moved into our town in 2004. I remember they had the grocery section masked off in plastic because it was a new concept. I always forget that small Walmarts like this never had a grocery section until the mid-2000s or so. Then they moved to their current design language in the late 2000s-early 2010s. I miss the red stripes on the floors, the old ceiling monitors showing advertisements, the yellow smiley face mascot, the interactive electronics section, and the idea of more than one register open since self-checkout didn't exist yet. This Walmart will be forever missed and lived on in nostalgia!

If you remember back in the 80's and early 90's another thing you would've seen was all the signs plastered around. Proudly saying this item is MADE IN THE USA. Now Walmart actually forces their manufacturing partner's to shut down plants and ship all the jobs along with the plants down to Mexico.

Before this other cellphones were mostly too limited for the general masses to care about mobile online access. The Internet from the late 90's through mid 00's was still very free and worked just well enough (this period was the real "golden age" imo) , people didn't have access unless they were home on their large desktop or at a desktop somewhere else , and most businesses and mainstream corporate Infrastructures hadn't transintioned the way they do things online yet so It wasn't mandatory to use , merely an optional hobby , tech limitations kept Internet usage healthy and non-addictive.

It seems that for the sake of mere 'convenience' humanity has sold our souls somehow (collectively as a society tho some individuals have retained them)... I've realized recently from watching videos of the past, (apart from certain medical advancements)... We really had everything we could ever need by 1980. Every invention sense has just been junk. Making us more hostile, deranged, and estranged from one another. We thought technology was the solution, but it's breaking society apart. People were ironically more 'connected' before. There's even some people literally entirely lost to a VIRTUAL world. It's just another addiction they can't break free from. It's like the majority are under some kind of spell and I keep hoping after the novelty of "Look what this or that can do!" wears off we'll start to reflect on the past more and consider where we went wrong. Is this really the path we wish to continue to take? AI as our overlord???? There's already some who worship it.

It's a short video inside one store on probably a random day in the week. If it was taking place on Black Friday a week before this perhaps, it would have been a whole different story. Back then, people got killed and trampled in Walmart and were fighting over stuff during Black Friday. If you filmed a Black Friday today in Walmart, it's chill as fuck and hardly anyone in the store. If you saw this past Black Friday, you'd be saying how quiet and peaceful people are nowadays compared to Black Fridays in the early 2000s.... just saying take that into perspective. Y'all always think the past was better than it actually was and have selective memories when it comes to these things. Walmart employees were just talking about how they love how Black Fridays are not chaotic anymore like they used to be back in the early 2000s. Yet here you are talking about how much better it used to be back then cause you're not seeing it nor remembering it at its worst but you only think of the present as its worst.

I had been working for Walmart for about 5 years around the time this footage was filmed. Watching this video is so nostalgic for me. I remember having to unload those heavy old school television sets from off the trucks and setting them up on the sale floor for the Christmas holiday season. Back then, we would also get truck loads of vcrs to go along with the CRT televisions. Man I feel so old right now reflecting back on these memories working for Walmart during those days...lol Long story short, I ended up working for Walmart for a total of 25 years, before I decided to leave the company a few years ago. I could write a book on the experiences that I had working for this company for so many years...the good experiences along with the bad and down right crazy unbelievable things that I witnessed first hand working there for over 2 decades. I love the videos V.R.👌🏾 Keep them coming.😊

I worked as an unloader for a year and a half starting in 98, then was on the floor crew for a couple more. It was so fun before the store went 24 hours. Agree...working there was a series of crazy events and people including an assistant manager being arrested for skimming the safe. I learned to play chess in a Walmart break room at 230 in the morning during lunches while southpark was on the TV. Those packaged sandwiches in the machines! 😆. How'd you do on your stock?

I WISH I could have worked at Walmart in the 90s! My uncle did. It was before they had the super-centers everywhere. I finally worked at the same location (upgraded to a super center) 16 years after he did. It was fun working with some of the coworkers he had. The employees from the 90s and earlier always had a sense of pride in their work. I learned so much from them! It’s very rare to see newer associates with that same spark.

Wow, crazy to see this era of Walmart again. I worked loss prevention (security) for Walmart around that time and it was actually a decent place to work at back then. The stores were generally nicer and less crazy than they are today too. We didn’t have a lot of security cameras and those that we did were pretty crappy quality and used old VHS tapes that were even worse quality because they were taped over hundreds of times. Most of our work was old school, out on the floor looking for people theivin’, and policy was old school too, chasing shoplifters across the parking lot and dragging them back for the police. It was crazy compared to how things are now. I was young and dumb back then too, chasing some guy through the parking lot and tackling him for stealing a Jurassic Park VHS was something I viewed as totally normal and even a little fun. You couldn’t pay me enough to do that now. I really don’t want to die bleeding out from a stab wound in a Walmart parking lot.

I would not immediately be able to date this video to a time period like I could a similar video from the 60’s, 70’s 80’, and possibly 90’s, but really not the late 90’s so much.

Ya'll realize camcorders were common back then, right? Seeing someone with a handheld wasn't unusual. It's when a whole news crew showed up with pro gear that people would be interested. Other than that, no one actually gave a shit if you filmed or not. It's only in later years that people were getting lawyer-happy and overly sensitive about being filmed. I filmed a project on a Hi-8 handheld in 2006, because I wanted it to have that late 80's look. It became not worth it to go out filming regular life, because some jackass would be like, "Hey! Shut thing off! Get that damn thing out of my face!" when said douchebag was just in the peripheral of the frame. *eye roll* People were not friendlier, and life was not better. It was actually harder to get basic stuff done, because we didn't have easier ways to do it until later - because those were invented by people fed up with doing things the hard way all the time. Humans always have and always will find different ways to express their shittiness. All the internet and smartphones are (among many good things), are new ways to do it where the world can see them instead of just their hometown.

Definitely long before the "ME" mentality really kicked off... Mid day and it's not overly crowded, everybody going about their days with no drama, not glued to their phones, and they look genuinely happier. Far different than the overcrowded, loud, entitled, rushed, distracted, and rude folks you encounter in the stores these days. Times were much simpler back then.... I miss those days.

@@KingFahtah You aren't paying to do someone else's job. Self checkouts help keep prices low. And I can do a better job than the cashier anyway. I don't have to stand there and wait while they finish a conversation or slowly ring everything up. And I know not to put the eggs on the bottom of the milk unlike many of the idiots demanding unreasonable wages when they can't even do simple tasks.

It’s fascinating to me how so much has changed and yet, how much is still the same. I guess the best way I can describe it is like this: Walmart today doesn’t really look THAT different, you can watch this and see how things transitioned from then to now. But at the same time, the stores today have no soul compared to back then, if that makes any sense. There’s just something more inviting and warm about how it used to look.
