No I wasn’t born in the 80s or 90s but wow, do I find such familiarity and comfortability with these videos. Thank you for being able to give me inexperienced nostalgia!!
I'm sure this was all used as B-roll footage and little (or none) of this man's personal story made it on the air. He seems like a decent person who was trying to make ends meet for his family. I'd love to know how the ensuing years have been.
@@LINJ638 I watch some of these and laugh how so many people think the people they see are just off doing some other job.. no.. most likely they are …… poop now
I remember the 90s having a totally different "feel" than what life feels like nowadays. It's crazy. I can't really explain it. I do miss the simplicity before smartphones and all this new tech though.
I would leave all this tech if someone with a time machine could bring me back to the early 80's. I was born in 81 but would have loved to experience these decades as an adult.
I used to work at this Albertson store #885 in 1998 Located off Broadway and Alameda In Denver,CO This store was known as the party store in the 90's lots of partying after hours. This video brought back so much memories thank you.
I remember when you could go to an Albertsons and purchase a white produce paperbag of ripe bananas for 25 cents for the bag and hot french bread right out of the oven for 50 cents a loaf Those were goodtimes
Some people are gonna snub their noses because this guy used food stamps. I would say in this case that he is one of the cases who warrants their existence. Life can be expensive, life with children even more so. This guy was working, plus he was going back to school to help his children. He seems like a loving father, and I hope things worked out for him.
New subscriber here. Absolutely LOVE your channel! I am always looking for content just like this. Please continue to share more great videos, especially ones from the 60's or 70's. Thank you!
The Marlboro hat defintely came from the lung dart "miles" catalog. 1995 grocery store not playing the Muzak but instead playing some Jefferson Starship, Elton John, The Bangles, and Wilson Philips or ABBA from earlier decades.
I hope he ended up getting his college degree and stopped struggling before he passed away. As a single mom of 1, i understood everything he was saying. We just want to give our children everything they ask for.❤
I hate to hear how this guy was fallen on hard times having to be on food stamps to feed his family and himself too in the process. Imagine the hardship for him in that situation if it was now in 2024. I was just a child in 1995. Lived through the 2008 recession. I wonder how this guy managed through that. Hopefully he had the chance to have an easier time in life. I miss the 90s cause it's nothing compared to what we deal with today.
I love seeing the old POS equipment. I loved being a cashier as it was busy task work. Kept me busy. I was also the stores official unofficial tech support. Our store manager had a policy that if I was working or scheduled and equipment acted up to have me fix it and only call tech support if I deemed it necessary. I helped at a couple stores setting up new machines or equipment a few times. Pretty cool being given mileage and a room for a night or two at a budget motel at age 18. Thought I was important. Company offered to train me at corporate for onsite support. I turned it down because I’d have to move to a far away location for a year. I now wish I did for experience. Store eventually went belly up and merged. So who knows where I’d be.
No such thing as cheap cereal. If he seen the prices today, he would flip like me. I seen this one cereal at Target that's almost $10 for a regular box of Magic spoon cereal! That's crazy even in this economy!
Back in the early 90s I could get a week's worth of groceries for about $20 if I shopped carefully and used coupons. A lot of items were less than $1 back then. I didn't think the rent on my first apartment was that cheap, but I always thought food at the grocery store was cheap.
$3.99 a pound roast beef. 99 cents a pound potato salad. Darn you inflation. Also I worked at Albertsons age 16 in 1999, I remember the round check stands and the sound of the red line/green line intercoms!
The white and grey floor tiles brings back a lot of childhood memories. Me and my brother would try to stay on the grey tiles and jump to the other grey tiles without hitting the white tiles LOL
I would not know. My family refused food stamps and were poor, so we had to get the big bag of generic chips, lol. That was for school lunches only too.
Not so. People not starring at cell phones, kids not running around screaming, cashiers actually friendly, prices much cheaper, people respected each other.
The camera and film probably where higher quality that what you are seeing on here. A lot of the uploads on here are for broadcast TV news. It is just uploaded at lower quality than the original.
@@mitchell.9632 not to mention the entrance and the store itself looks so dumpy and dated. It absolutely could not pass for 2023/2024 I don't know what kind of crack that guy was smoking.
Anyone else remember how Albertson's had the BEST muffins back in the 90s? Then they changed the recipe, maybe in the 2000s (I forget when exactly) but they just weren't nearly as good.
@@jporter9244 I remember using manic panic in the 90's to color my hair and I love that it's still around and the bottle hasn't changed at all, but yes Kool-aid worked too, lol
I remember buying those as a kid and having a Kool-aid stand. Dumped a bunch of generic sugar and homemade ice cubes and sold it for $15 cents a cup, lol. Some people would give me a dollar for one cup and I would be like, WOW!
I remember in the 90s I could basically shop without looking at prices, and I just worked at a video store (I had a car, rented a place or a room, etc). Now spend too much on groceries and end up homeless. 😅
Just when I was thinking about my favorite meal “Chicken Tonight”, I see this! 14:17. Also 23:26 was that really necessary for her to ask that question when see can obviously see he’s using it? She didn’t have to say it out loud for people to hear.
Back when you did not have outages as he had physical coupons to buy the food with. Not like what happened August 28, 2022 with the outage. Not to mention the analytics beyond just what was sold when these days that go into grocery shopping with the program and with the stores doing it on there end too (and this website too).
Imagine Infrabren following this guy around weirding him out and telling him he looks really good 100x. I know this guy would sample the pickled sphincter.
Eat fresh, eat simple food and you will live longer and be healthier. 90% of the items in a grocery store are detrimental to your health but great for corporate shareholders profit margins. Stop eating like cattle in a feed lot. 😉
"Following a guy around in a grocery store" Seriously? Can't you just leave the poor dude alone? So much for personal space. Unless he said it fine to do so, then I'm OK with that
Troll much? Clearly the guy enjoyed being filmed. Back then we did not piss and moan like Gen Z. No such thing as personal space when in public. You're not entitled to a bubble around you.
