Grocery shopping at a Hy-Vee store in 2000 

I was 19 in the year 2000. It doesn't seem like that long ago. These videos really make me realize that life really is just a vapor

I’m 42 and I was 18 in 2000 and it didn’t seem that long ago until watching videos like this. The videos look older than the way I remembered it being. 😂

It breaks my heart to know some of the older folks in this time capsule are no longer with us.

I like looking at all the old logos. And also the much cheaper prices. $40 worth of food back then got you about 2/3 of a cart full. Today $40 gets you about 6 items.

everyone today is just in a rush all the time, mad to think how much has changed in a short time

Please don't stop posting. I love love love watching these and going back feeling as if I'm in 2000 or 1978 or 1998. Great channel

Hard to believe this was 23 years ago...

Wish we could all go back.

Why does it feel like everything was calmer and more peaceful back then.

Oh man, I lived in Iowa and went to a Hyvee in 2000 😮 would be crazy if I saw my parents randomly show up in one of these videos

Just think how much cheaper everything was at that time!

I remember those coupon dispensers 😂. At 0:31 right behind the woman in the blue jacket to the left on the shelf

Very much enjoyed this video from 2000! It was enjoyable seeing what both the employees and customers are doing, hearing the music in the background, and still no smartphones yet in sight and as a result no one is phubbing another still. I also enjoyed recognizing the artists and their songs as well such as Mariah Carey's One Sweet Day, Bruce Hornsbys and Range Roll on, Elton John's Long Long Time, A Backstreet Boys Song, A Rod Stewart Song, etc...Pleasure to watch this. On a note: Phubbing is definition for one ignoring another for their smartphone over the person that is talking to him, her, them etc...

the lack of knee-pads and box cutters is really affecting me in a way i didn't know was possible

Watching this reminds me of my depressing days working in a grocery in my early-20s. From about 2010 to 2012, I was a cashier. Got the carts in the parking lot. Cleaned. Stocked. Some coworkers, who were mostly female, were awesome, whereas others were catty and perpetually started drama. I had to listen to the same music 6 days a week, which never left my head. I was perpetually hit on by female and male customers; couples would even attempt to sway me. Never got paid more than $7.25. Ate at the Chinese Buffet, Subway, Taco Bell, and KFC for lunch breaks. Idk why... but seeing these men attend to the aisles whilst the music is playing makes me suicidal and sad. Happy I do not have to work anymore.

"Videos". Back when there weren't just video rental places, you could even find them in grocery stores.

January, 2000. A calm settles over the world as the electricity of the past holiday season, punctuated by fears that the Y2K Bug was going to end the world as you knew it, wanes. And there's one question on your mind: What now? "What now" indeed.

Thanks much for these. Have enjoyed these videos for a few months now and don't think I've commented previously. As someone who was pretty much born in a state of nostalgic reverie, these videos are like little nourishing vignettes for the soul....feeling like quite a few others watching here, rather bittersweet. Quite comforted, though disheartened in much of the way things have changed. Yet we can still bring the best examples of the past with us to extend and spread in our day to day lives. Thanks again! 🙂

I'm guessing that the dialogue accompanying this footage was "Steve Driscoll, store manager, dutifully examines his inventory sheets to determine just how many delicious boxes of WARNERS CRUNCH TIME have been stolen.

So close and yet so far! Time perception is weird like that I guess.

I would do anything to go back to Jan 2000 better times.

“Warners Crunchtime” probably right after the Super Bowl against the Titans.

We need a Hy-Vee playlist.

Back when all the shelves were fully stocked and everything was affordable. I’d give one of my limbs to be able to go back and live in this time again.

This is the absolute coolest channel! Nostalgia

I worked at a HyVee in 2000. I was 18. Good times.

Back before Hy-Vee was trying to be Whole Foods Jr and started bringing in that Wahlburger nonsense.

I love watching your video's, they bring back great memories of the good days. In 1978 I worked at Burger King after school, while in High School and seeing the video's of stores, McDonald's and Burger King is cool to go back in time.Thanks for sharing these..

4:20 all the frozen juices! Do they even sell it anymore?

Some great shots of the Bounty! You can see the changes in the logos. They were phasing out the old logo there's a mixture of the two of them

I wasn’t even alive in 2000, but this perfectly captures the energy of a quiet afternoon in the Midwest. I remember when my local Hyvee looked like that.

Looks like the one I used to go to in the early 2000s. Same signage, colors & everything. This is also back when they still had a VHS rental department, and commercials with the red arrow mascot telling you about low prices.

PLEASE DO H-E-B GROCERY STORE NEXT

wow I didn’t even know HyVee existed until 2 years ago I started noticing it and shopping there in Minneapolis. I was 25 in 2000, both my parents died that year too. but I want to go back to 2000, with us crazy because when it WAS 2000 I hated it and my life was horrible. I always hate time when it’s happening and never realize it will be something I miss after the fact. I wish I could just enjoy now like that in the moment.

0:46 "Who is that? Why the heck are they filming me? I wonder if I should get the manager?" 🛒 💭

Love HyVee. Trying to figure out which location this is. Definitely somewhere in Iowa, looks urban, but I don’t recognize it as a Des Moines store.

Oh my goodness, a manager and supervisor actually doing their job at a retail store. Oh Wow

Take me back 🥹

I worked for hyvee from 2014-2022. Working there definitely ruined my views on the company but i miss early 2000s hyvee . I was there alot as a kid

This doesn’t seem too long ago if you’re over 50. The ones from the 1980s do seem very old. I guess it’s true that time speeds up as you get older.

Damn I was hoping to see my child self being from Iowa and my family shopped here every week.

I enjoy your channel vampire robot.

All these shots of "Warner's Crunchtime" cereal was because, at the time, Kurt Warner was really big in Iowa because he was from Iowa and was playing in the Super Bowl that year, plus he had once been a stockboy at an Iowa HyVee store. I remember everytime you went to the store you were inundated with this guy's name and picture.

I don't think we got any Hy-Vee stores here in Alabama. It's more of Food World, Food City, Star Market, Piggly Wiggly, Kroger, Winn-Dixie, and such. Brunos was a chain of grocery stores around when I was growing up, but most of them closed down in the 2000s. I don't think I have ever been in a Brunos. Probably was too expensive.

The decades.dont fully fade out until the first few years

Christmas Shopping at Walmart in 2008 🛒🎄 Video of people shopping at a Walmart store in Central Valley, New York. Footage of some toys and various Christmas related products. Most of it is at the checkout lane. This is from November of 2008.

Puffy coats and red Boboli pizza dough displays..

This is so relaxing

This is like a Time Machine thanks !

God this reminds me of being a child

Lol just shopped there yesterday. Love Hyvee !

5:03 "Don't tell me what to do, Gramps." 💭 📹

1:08 that song. I forget the singer and song but it always played in school days childhood in the early 2000s. Hawaii state citizen here in America but we still had mainland influence with songs like this and especially in stores. Mahalo for somehow getting these videos and archiving it for the world to experience.

In the Midwest and I love Hy Vee

Who was doing these recordings? Customers seem to not be bothered by someone recording them

marking Vampire Robot as one of my fav ch to watch great videos from the past

Working at a grocery store is depressing.

Can you also pls do inside a nightclub in 2007 cus I remember my parents going clubbing at that time

One of .my favorite shows growing up is super market sweep. I loved dave ruprecht as host.. im.not to big on game show hosts but dave ruptecht actually made me enjoy a gameshow

Imagine trying to flim in a store today, you would not be able to film than 10 seconds and you’re gonna be swarmed by employees telling you to turn off the camera or they will call the police and have you arrested for trespassing, or people getting butt hurt that they see one with a Camera

I love Hy-Vee, but the prices are so expensive nowadays!

quite the operation. great staff

Working there and having to listen to that god awful music all day would drive me nuts 🥜

Is there any way that you could post a video of the indoor amusement park, Jeepers in the early 2000's in Methuen, Massachusetts?

5:42: that’s the same announcement chime used in Vallarta Supermarkets

Nice vid

In november of 2000 randy couture age 37 won the ufc hw belt at 37 he was oldest ufc champion. He won back his belt he relinquished due to him leaving ufc due to contract issues.

Life prior to 9/11 were much simpler days

Do you have any footage from any grocery stores or restaurants in Amarillo, TX from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s?

In the year 2000 i recall sega dreamcast being a very hot comodity

I noticed the Kurt Warner cereal. Is this the same grocery store in Iowa that he worked at? My dad was a huge Rams and Kurt Warner fan.

I'm just watching what people is wearing 🤭. I like that fashion of ski jackets along light blue jeans and white sneakers. I'm from Mexico and I was only 2 yr old in 2000 :D. Where do you get all these footages? They're so cool!

which songs they have in this store

Hy-Vee! I wonder if this one is near the Quad Cities? I'm from there, and it seems like they had them all over the place between the Illinois side and the Iowa side.

0:46 if looks could kill lol omg 😂😂

Were most of these day-in-the-life vlogs filmed by the same person? They are distinctively angled. The cameraman or camerawoman is distinctively silent. I'm from the year 1995, so if you were in a Wal-Mart or something when I was out and about as a kid with my parents and my 2 years older brother in New Orleans, Houston, Dallas, Shreveport/Bossier City,... Sup. 👋🏿😆

In the year 2000 we got wwf no mercy n64 argubaly best wwf game of all time

One sweet day by Mariah Carey and B2M playing in the speakers

They had no telxon scanners for inventory management?

Pure anemoia. (nostalgia for times that i havent lived)

It looks better than Redner's does today lol

Warner's Crunchtime was the Flutie Flakes of the Midwest

Best donuts in Iowa at Hy-Vee! (Econo Foods was also great but they aren't in business anymore AFAIK)

I worked at hyvee 1992 to 1995

Got any footage from the video rental section?

3 bucks for off brand cereal can get that cheaper now

One of my favorite NBA games was played in the year 2000 kings at cavaliers january 4 2000 the kings won 111 to 107.😊.

So I assume the guy was writing propose order for the store?

Does anyone have any idea what location this is?

Vampire.robot i.dont request to often to youtubers but what about lucky s supermarket vids it was mu favorite grocery store back in tha.dayz😊😊

Anybody know which location this store is in?

This is actually inventorying, not grocery shopping.

Wonder if Kurt Warner worked there ?

Still the same 23 years lol

Can you find the same kind of videos but in a different country like Canada or China ?

You know what town this is?

Hyvee is a Midwest thing

I’d be 5 years old
