People shopping for Christmas gifts in 2000 at Wal-Mart. Footage of people buying various items. Toys and electronics, cards and such. This video is 21 minutes. #walmart
Who remembers when the Walmart greeters actually greeted you instead of accusing you of stealing or demanding to show the receipt? Good times good times.
My parents hadn’t divorced yet, 9/11 was never thought possible, and my dad was still alive in 2000. To say that my heart aches for this year is an understatement.
Every time my mom took me to Walmart, I always told her "I'll be at electronics" because I wanted to see all the video games they had . Man I miss the early 2000s 😢
Yup, me and my brother would always ask our mom to let us go to the video game section to look at all the games, and play the demos on those TV's that were so high you had to crane your neck up to look at them.
This was my favorite thing to do as a child, although at Kmart since we didn't have Walmart in our small town. We didn't realize it then, but we were all watching the literal evolution of technology every time we caroused through the electronics isles. What a time to live through
Me and my siblings always went to electronics for the same reason. We'd be immersed in playing some of the games they had on the TV screen with the controller attached😂
This kind of walmart and its’ people from the year 2000 still look exactly the same as some walmarts in small town America, no difference and even the style of clothes people are wearing is the same. It’s really all about where you go and look
Yep. I was born in 1982 and everybody in the 80's thought that we'd magically wake up to flying cars and time travel and the ones that didn't think that were stockpiling Campbell's Soup and batteries because "YK2" was gonna destroy the world. LOL! I love your avatar by the way and this is a video of me playing guitar to a song I GUARANTEE you'll recognize! I was a HUGE My Pet Monster fan and still have a massive toy collection to this day! ru-vid.com5fncg9u_qyU
l agree. Me too. Yeah it was the whole family during the party, but often to create conflicts 😂 I worked often during the Christmas night and I was happy with that "sorry I can't go to your (shitty) party" 🤣
15:39 "I'm gonna be on the news tonight" So def B-roll. Still super cool, but maybe good that someone didnt wake up and decide to film random isles for minutes at a time lol
MY EXACT THOUGHTS! after like the fifth zoom-in on some specific detail that is wildly different today, the hair stood up on the back of my neck because I thought "ok this is TOO perfect" 😂
Not necessarily. Waiting patiently for 21 years to drink alcohol was a great idea for our country (US). If everyone can live their lives through 20 years, they can wait for anything else for 20 years because "it's not-so-distant" future.
And yet, the Bible in which Democrats hate, is coming true right before their eyes, but because of the demonic spirit living within them, they're too blind to see it. Perilous times are here and only going to get worse. Lawlessness has taken over.
yup. best time of our lifes. now a days when i go walmart. i see lot of ppl on there phones. ppl can.t even go without internet of data on there phones. life was so much easyer back in the 2000s. no socia media. no game console updates or game updates every few weeks. just buy your N64 and put the game in and your good to go.
Time marches on my friend. How convenient is it though when you can’t make it to the store or the store you go to doesn’t have what you want and you can go online and “click, click click” it will be delivered tomorrow.
I can’t believe 2000 was almost 25 years ago! Insane. It feels like yesterday I was a kid looking at all the action figures and game consoles and computer games.
And Walmart was always a letdown looking for computer games back then from what i remember. The selection was terrible. It was still awesome as a 10 year old kid though lol
Is it just me or do people look so much more relaxed, grounded, taking their time ? Also I Love the timecode, I work in TV and its not only a reference but also helps to set the mood in what time of the day it was, may sound ridiculous but its a detail that I really enjoy :)
People WERE more relaxed and grounded back then. Also, more polite. Notice no one is screaming...not even children. No one is pushing or shoving. Everyone became a narassistic when social media was created. Also, everyone used to WANT to fit in with society. Today people want to stand out and be different. The world has just changed for the worse.
@@terri639 i agree with everything except the last part, yes people became self absorbed narcissists and individualists, true, but they still rely on affirmation to do so, so deep inside they want to belong ( by acting indépendant and strong) .also, if anything that the last 3 years jave shown me, its that the people in power love to play around with these feelings, giving people fake causes, all the while deviding everyone and everything, and its working wonders... woth the right psyOPS and the blind obedient, most people would rat on or kill their neighbours, its scary as hell
Because people didn‘t have to take on 3 jobs to make a living. Either you work your Ass of for barely nothing, of sell your Soul on Onlyfans. I feel so hopeless, I don‘t have any Special degrees because i had a really traumatic childhood.
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!
Wow now that you mentioned the plastic around the groceries I remember that. I remember thinking why is plastic everyone and would not go near any of the food, it was strange to see it. Good one
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.
I was 10 years old during Christmas of 2000. I always went to Walmart with my dad, to buy simple things like dog & cat food, groceries etc. He would always buy me a candy, but toys had to wait for my birthday or Christmas. My best childhood memories are when I was 8-10 years old. Those were good times. My dad passed away in September 2021 so watching this video I was kinda hoping to see him and I in those aisles 😅 ❤
then im gone, cuz i dont give my money to pdfile bankers and when everything becomes digital and ur all censored and ur bank accounts are taken away, time to move to charity, food and sleeping in a tent, have fun with ur death cult
The emergence of the smart phone was a sea change in our culture. Flip phones prepared us with convenience, but still highly limited. We were no longer "tied" to the payphone or landline. Unfortunately technology doesn't stand still & the I phone was born. 📱
Still, there were enough people carrying cellular phones and the primary complaint about them was that they were talking on them all the time. That said, I hold a phone while in the store now to shop, find stuff, and take pictures.
@@bernieudo4399 It was the ubiquitous social media access that came with smart phones , then came a new sort of generic homogenized Internet and social media 2.0 starting with the first iphone era In 2007 and rise of Facebook to #1 the same year (start of the generic too big to fail purposely addictive dopamine designed social media platforms). 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.
For some reason this was actually calming to watch. Crazy how different the world was back then. I remember these times as a kid . Little did I know we were living in the last days of Any sense of normalcy in the world.
@@Tranceplant82I DO! 🙋🏻♀️ Particularly when u dont have the means to give people big or expensive gifts. You add a nice lil card with a nice message and those socks you gave them will be their favorite gift of the year lol
Good lord...can we go back to this time? Notice how calm it is and how polite and civil people seem to be...and just imagine if one day everything relies on using cell phones and no physical stores even exist. X.x
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.
You realize they all know they’re being filmed by a dude with a huge camera on his shoulder for news b-roll right? I’m sure the criminals would be on their best behavior.
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.
@@ryderhoustonxThat’s not true; some criminals are still brazen in front of cameras. Just look at the news today - there are countless of teens and young adults who literally film themselves committing extreme crimes
I swear these people are the time travelers that knew about RU-vid and how people would love to have footage of things in the past, went back to the past, and recorded these things for us.
@@Tajstah What's more likely? Silly local news channels trying to get b-roll for the 5 and 10 o'clock news.. Or the more obvious and logical answer.. That Vampire Robot has invented time travel and used "News station B roll" as a cover story so the rest of us never learn his secrets!
@@eXiteVideoMagazineI was over here thinking this is either a time traveler or a weirdo, but nope it was just a guy doing his job and you were smart enough to put two and two together. Not me tho.
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.
I'm going to be doing my Christmas Shopping Online, I've been doing it ever since the Pandemic Started, because I think that doing Christmas Shopping Online is way better, you don't have to wait in line at the Layaway counter to put stuff in Layaway, then a week later having to wait at the Layaway counter, I have Five Children, one girl and four boys, and each of them loves different toys, I have a 3-year-old daughter named Zoey, she just loves Baby Dolls, Barbie Dolls, Disney Princess, and Pixar, my 5-year-old son named Tyler, loves Marvel, my 7-year-old son named Drake loves Remote Control Cars, my 9-year-old son named Derek loves Jurassic Park and Star Wars, and my 11-year-old son named Wesley loves Modal Cars and Trucks, and X-Box Video Games.
I went to Walmart today on a normal Friday, it was awful and everyone around me seemed miserable. i kind of hate that i got to experience how nice peaceful life used to feel back then and have to live in this reality. I feel like we have never been more connected but so separated at the same time, I'm sad my kids will never experience this. Shit was far from perfect but day to day life quality was more peaceful.
They still make CD's today, but these days they are a lot more expensive than what they used to be and more considered to be for like collectors now than just general audiences like in these days when CD's were a lot more affordable.
To be fair the majority of shoes sold at Walmart or still in boxes. It’s really only the like super cheap stuff and like summer flip-flops that I’ve ever seen that are just hanging up on a rack. The majority of their boots and tennis shoes are in boxes still.
as a gen z im just glad my parents got to enjoy when everything looked like this. My brother was born in 2000, and I can see them now, excitedly going through all the baby and toy aisles for him and my older sister (‘93). Buying all the gift wraps and bows. Just enjoying the season.
I would love to buy this Vampire Robot dinner one day for all of the nostalgia that he gives us. I lost my Mom and Grandma several years ago. They raised me, absolute best parents ever. Watching your videos of Walmart, K-Mart, the mall etc around Thanksgiving and Christmas just takes me back to to sweet memories that I had with them growing up. I cherish that. Innocent, happier times. Thank you. ❤
I wanna go back and do it again, the 90's were fantastic for water gun/balloon battles, sleepovers, nintendo, sega, arcades, I'm just glad I got to live it!!!
@@KL-tz3cm thats what i was about to say, but there actually was a time that wasn't that crazy. anytime before internet, smartphones and social media was better whether its 1970 or 2000
I worked at Walmart from 1997-1999. I was always a friendly cashier, but I remember people as not being that friendly back. Most would barely say hello to me after I spoke to them, and the worst were the people talking on their cellphones throughout the entire transaction, especially when you needed to ask them a question.
Wow, I just turned 22 in November in 2000. I loved the early Y2K so much!! Lots of clubbing and the clothes this time were amazing!! I wish I was 22 all over again!!
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.
Sad that now in this day and age, security & loss prevention are not allowed to catch or stop shoplifters. And they wonder why stores are closing left and right.
A Walmart not too far from where I live still looks like the old Wal-Mart. I RARELY go there bc I hate Walmart but when I do, it's a nostalgia trip. They even have the fishes.
Wow! I was 12... As nostalgic as these videos are, it also gives me a sense of melancholy because I miss these days so much, makes me think about how young my parents were seeing them now get in to their 60's and the amazing childhood I had and everything I experienced that I am now so grateful for. Brings back so many great memories of what life was like all the way around back then, wish I could go back and stop and think about how it's not gonna last and soak it up even more. It just doesn't feel the same these days, that's life.
When there was social credibility and humility among normal everyday people. Nowadays everyone wants to be a celebrity and influencer smh. I sound like a baby boomer typing this comment right now at 10:45 PM. 🙄
13:03 Just beautiful how every single TV there on the wall are all synced up to each other. Modern TVs have different levels of delay so the same signal will change sooner on one TV compared to another. All old analog CRTs have 0ms of lag. Beautiful to see this again.
Crazy to think that I was 10 years old and I was in 5th grade when this was filmed. I remember getting 3 N64 games for Christmas that year and being so happy. Now I am 33, I miss the 90s and even the early to mid 00s were good too! How time flys man, now I just feel old but good that I grew up in the 90s as a kid, and the 00s as a teenager.
I'm a little bit younger than you and agreed completely. I remember playing StarCraft 64, and at least the first Pokemon Stadium that year, good times.
This could have been written by me brother!! I was 10 when this filmed and I'm 33 now. I'm watching for a look back at what was, when we knew it as kids
I love this video. I was born in January of 2000 so it's amazing getting to see a video of normal life from the year I was born. This video is a time machine. I remember Walmart looking like this until around 07/08 before they rebranded.
Oh... sorry you never got to experience this era. It was a better time. I was 16 years old in 2000 and things were...calmer. Just like you see in this video. People were polite, relaxed and just life in general was less stressful.
This is One Year before 9/11, this video was filmed on September 9, 2000…, It’s shocking that we do not know a world before 9/11. The world felt a bit cozy and nostalgic. Even though, I wasn’t alive when this video was filmed and taken, I was born 5 years later after this RU-vid clip, makes me feel a sense of normalcy and optimism. I am enjoying the overall quality of this video. I understand how it feels to be nostalgic about your childhood, and it especially feels like you grew up in a world that was so different 23 years ago. The world was so different only 23 years ago. I know it is hard to process and cope within the society we live nowadays, but your not alone 😢.
Even the crime has dropped down and declined when this video was filmed. Nowadays there is so much crime rates across many inner cities, lawlessness and woke extremism being rampant across this country and democratic cities. We definitely live in uncertain and unprecedented times guys. Unprecedented times is what is making us anxious and nervous about the fault and state of the world nowadays.
I was 21 in 2000. Watching videos from this time period now looks like the 70s or 80s did to me in 2000. Crazy to think because this really feels like only last week.
How so? I’m curious because I thought the opposite. I feel like this is the first generation that can look at 20 year old videos, and really not be able to notice anything different or distinct about the people in the video, style wise, than how people look today. 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. I find that pretty weird, but I think the death of the monoculture has a lot to do with it.
@@mcsmoothie7052 You should be able to date it from the clothes and products alone...I can. But even so, you think people are acting the same as they do today? Really? Notice how everyone there is pretty relaxed. No one is yelling or being overly dramatic. No one has a phone out. No one is drawing attention to themselves in any way. Everyone seems to "fit in" with society rather than standing out. Just the way everyone's vibe is calm rather than stressed and rushed is different. How can you not see it?
The new Walmarts seem like they are designed to give you depression. I thought I was exaggerating remembering them being a bit more colorful back then until I saw the video.
yeah everything back then was vibrant and even try to be loud in terms of style, but then a group took over and replace everything with grey and brown structures and dull aesthetics, even our tv shows now feel so generic and soulless.
My goodness..... we don't even see prices like those anymore especially when everything is so expensive and how everyone is so cash strapped nowadays. The late 90s and early 2000s seem like truly the distant past
80's kid here, and this brings back instany nostalgia! Only people that lived through this time will know exactly how it felt. I miss the café's where they served, not so bad food, lol.
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.
I miss these days so much, im glad i got to experience the last bits before everything got completely overtaken by technology and so grey. Back then everything was more colorful and exciting
Exactly because I was born in 1977 so 2000 was definitely the halfway point year of my 46 year old self today lol but I do remember that you’re quite vividly
With all the chaos in our world today, watching these videos of yesteryear is comforting and a time i wish i could of appreciated more. You've really got something special here! 😇
It’s crazy how it was less materialistic back in those days. When I go to walmart I’m like bombarded with food stands near the check out aisles. All from chips to more candy, boxes of little Debbie snacks, the deli foods I sh*t you not, popcorn chicken and whole chickens. It’s ridiculous. Too much stuff it gets in the way when I’m just trying to get by.
The year 2000 was one of the BEST years in my life and THE best up to that point. At the end of 1999 I was laid off from my job, but got a severance package. So in Jan. 2000 I started the spring semester at the university and didn’t work any job for the entire year. I was a full time student, unemployed, had money, was completely free! Dated a few college girls, hung out with my friends, took my classes, it was glorious. One friend asked me, “How do you like school?” I told him, “it beats the hell out of working!” Lots a great times and freedom. Not hurting for money. Oh, man! Give me a Time Machine!
Those old colored walmart bags though! Now I remember! Holy, I forgot how everyone was dealing with cash ,even the lady just counting it in the front of the store with everyone around! Id be so anxious and nervous doing that today!
Walmart kept this look at least up until 2004. This store looks exactly like my childhood store located in Mission Bend, TX which was replaced with the nearby Supercenter (still open today) in 2003. The placement of the Vision Center at the front, as well as where the checkouts were located are all identical. Watching this is like taking a huge step back in time. RU-vid is the closest thing we will ever have to time machines.
I remember from the 00s or early 2010s for a few years the vision center being in the front of the store as well so yeah for what it is worth that is also somehting of a nostalgia even just remebering things that were however they were in the past even before our time XD no joke though
Ah, I distinctly remember this.. it’s refreshing but also sad to see that there was a time where people took pride in their jobs and that things seemed so much calmer. The world is much too fast these days
I remember when they used to call it red lining when you'd walk up to that line and flag customers down for speedy checkouts. Now it's a bunch of self checkouts.
Ah, a time we're people we're actually living and enjoying life. Its all just a faint memory now. I miss those times. Technology truly has done something to the spirit of people.
The people in this video were told what to do by the news crew. Like they told them “pretend to shop look at things in that area while we film you from here”.
When the stores sold what you needed in the store, instead of getting it online 😒Crazy how someone would randomly video this and now it means so much than we thought it would 💯💯
This warms my heart. I wouldn't have been born yet, and my mom is still here memorialized in time somewhere. Wow, I cried a little, thank you so much I love this!
What a breath of fresh air. No self checkouts. That's the biggest thing I miss. I miss seeing the majority of the tills filled with workers happy to ring you through and bag your items. The short friendly conversations were nice too.
@@MatthewNY94This comment section is filled with people deluded by Rose-Colored Glasses. They were young and ignorant to the negatives of the era, like anyone young. All that's left are fuzzy memories.
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.
I also remember strolling through Wal-Mart in the 2000s and it was very chill! Although the location I went to has a McDonalds built in the store, it was still a department store before they added a grocery section in the same way that Target did. LOL
@@ZefTillDeath8878 Plus you don't get stuck behind all the old grandmas still using checks for some dumb reason. Got to love those people using checks who wait until given the total to actually start filling any of it out.
@@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.
Not really; they were big in the 80’s, when you had it up on your shoulder with a VHS tape inside. Most video cameras around this time were much smaller.
@@Scrabbledat right. But back then there was no social media or cellular data internet connections, so people weren’t that concerned with random people filming stuff. Nobody was concerned with being plastered all over the internet at a moments notice.
I was born in '96 and vaguely remember this era. I wish I had been older so I could have a better remembrance of those days. I feel like I missed out even though I was there.
Yup I’ll be 27 in a few days. I remember the old Walmart, Kmart look of department stores. Things seemed smaller and more tight, not as stressful and/or quick pace as it is now. No self checkout back then.
Omg disposable cameras sold in those bags lol! The Gameboy color advertisement 🥺 I was 10 years old so alot of this I still remember, omg I remember how quiet and calm Walmart used to be 😭
I remember when Walmart had aisles where it had 10 different types of music on a display, where you were able to press the song/ album, and it would play some of it. Also remember the greeters handing out yellow smiley face stickers!!
I was a department manager of ladies wear at Walmart in 2000. I totally remember the denim dresses at 5:02 and the fb classic jeans shown right after. Bright red pants. 😂 Thanks for this walk down memory lane.
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.
