The 1980s and 1990s were the last two good decades. 1. Toy stores, with Christmas catalogs 2. Grocery stores that had shelves filled with food 3. Saturday morning cartoons 4. Laughing and jokes, and no one got offended. 5. Friday night sleepovers 6. Respect for one another 7. Playing outside 8. Riding bikes 9. Blockbuster and Hollywood Video rentals 10. Video arcades, tickets, and prizes I really hate this modern decade!
People got offended all the time in the 80's and 90's. People constantly wanted to ban things they didn't approve of also. Just a different group of people were doing it back then.
@@promytheuz5065 Yes, but I recall one rule I was taught and know most of my peers were taught too: if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. There was a level of common respect that's gone.
@@gregory4154 this is an out right lie. People didn't have respect back then either. There was always shitty people in the world. You just hear about it more because of social media and the internet connecting people together.
Everything but the portion sizing and price gouging. Look at the size of those massive Entenmann's cakes at the beginning! Everything now is smaller, and marked up. Im sure youre familiar with its name: Shrinkflation.
Back then the worst it ever got was, if you had beef with a kid at school, you would fight it out. The fight would be broken up, and at the principal's office you both would shake hands and would even be friends afterwards.
I really hope you’re proud of yourself stuffing me with so many enjoyable nostalgic memories and getting views with me binge watching. I love this channel and highly HIGHLY appreciate your ability to keep these slices of gold captured in time.
I really miss the 1990's. Grocery shopping was fun then with my Mom and siblings, especially on Sundays, because you could try all the food samplers at the store that the people working would put out for the customers. It was fun!!!
Wow, that took me back. I used to work at Lucky's in California in 92 as a bag boy making $6.00/hr regularly but made time and a half for working on Sundays so $9.00/hr and on holidays I would either get the day off with four hours of straight pay or if I worked the holiday I got triple time at $18.00/hr. That was in high school I remember others making fun of me being a bag boy but those clowns thought their s**t didn't stink because they worked at Macy's making minimum wage and getting discounts on clothes. Those were the days.
I remember shopping at lucky s when I was a kid with my mom. There was one in Sacramento ca. in citrus nights , it’s now a bingo hall. That was in 87 88 about
My local *Whole Foods Market* here in Atlanta has fully stocked shelves 🤷🏿♂️ and I’m 51 years old and I remember fully stocked shelves in 1992 and fully stocked shelves in 2023
Another fantastic video you posted for us to enjoy, I, for one love, love and love❤💘 these memories. Look how polite everyone is to each other. I was only 26 years old and had just gotten married in May of 1991. I am still married to my husband this would have been our first Thanksgiving. Such precious times. Thank you for giving me that warm cozy feeling all over again in 2023.
Oh if I had a Time Machine I’d go back to the 80’s - 2000s to shop. With all the mergers the stores sell all the same stuff. I loved going to different stores to buy different store brands. Now one group like Safeway owns everything. I miss the variety and the speed of checkout. Here is how old I am. Super-thrift, Thriftway, Santonis, Valu Food, Super G, Pathmark, Genuardis, SuperFresh, Farm Fresh, Metro, Mars, are some places I use to shop and are gone. Some stores I use to shop at and are still around are not the same. Acme, Safeway, ShopRite, Shoppers Food. Now I have Safeway it’s a dump, Food Lion is ok, Redners is dumpy. Walmart pickup only. Off to Liddl or Aldi I guess.
@James Harden From a physical appearance, I don't think things have changed as much as people believe they have. With the exception of a phone in front of everyone's face. Of course, I grew up thinking the future was going to look like Back to the Future 2.
Not only were supermarkets better stocked back then, around us at least most were open 24 hrs a day! So if you worked swing shift as I did you could do your shopping after work at 1AM. Then all the mergers happened.
Back in the days when food was cheap, plentiful and tasty. Remember when Entenmann was good. It’s absolutely horrible now. Haven’t bought their products in ages. I truly miss the 90s.
Most of the posters miss the 90s because they were young. So was I. Truth be told the 90’s were okay. The economy was good but were had conflict in the Middle East over oil. Heroin was killing our youth, education start its downward spiral and crime was at historic highs, to the point congress passed a historic crime bill that has caused the problems we have today.
Back when the store items came in a generic box like the one in this video "our bakery". A lot of them today would come with the retailers brand. They have gotten that big.
Our Thanksgivings back then were SOOOOO fun! My mom would be preparing the huge meal, keep going back to the store because she forgot something, then the day of, our cousins & Tia would arrive, and the shenanigans would begin. We'd eat around 2ish, then my cousin & I would take a four wheeler ride into our property, smoke out, then go back to the house, fall asleep in my room, then get up and eat again, then later on at night, we'd start a bonfire out in the woods, start drinking, a bunch of friends came over, then we'd finally go back to the house at 2 am, eat again, take a shower to get campfire smell off our hair, then pass out, get up and eat again with hangovers! I'd give anything to go back in time and experience that one more time! After my mom passed in 2016, we never did huge Thanksgivings anymore. It just isn't the same.
Sometimes RU-vid Feels more of a time machine than anything. I remember when the movie Zenon girl of the 21st century came out. We're now in the 21st century and we still can't travel to outer space out for vacation
This is interesting because I often wonder when grocery stores transitioned from elevator style instrumental muzak to popular music. In this 1992 clip there is muzak, and in another video from Vampire showing grocery shopping in 1995, there is pop hits playing. That might answer my question, although it probably depended on the grocery chain and when they made the transition. One thing for certain, nobody uses muzak anymore.
In many ways, the American supermarket experience has changed less in the last 32 years than it did in just the 20, or even just the 10, years that preceded 1992.
Those frozen blue & white wrapper Perdue frozen turkey's were the best. Where did they go? I can't find them anymore..... I search every year. Nothing to be found anywhere.
I love these throwbacks. but the era we were raised in led us to wanting things we can't obtain that we honestly don't need. and these things we require are killing the planet. We need to love our history and understand the time we don't have left to change it. isn't that something we see when we become parents?
@Sebastian Belcher Talk about a blind follower who still can't grasp what's happening or choose not to because you hate to admit that you're wrong. Either way, this country sinking will eventually affect all Americans.
Why somebody would just arbitrarily film people shopping befuddles me😳. It is neat to take a walk down memory lane, tho. I was working night crew at a suburban Chicago store back then.
