Video of employees taking orders and serving customers from inside a Starbucks store in Seattle. Also featuring the seasonal favorite...Eggnog Latte. This video last around 10 minutes. #starbucks #eggnog
Why does this feel like the cute, cozy local coffee shop that you’d hang out with your friends or your partner in 🥹 and the simple drinks! Nowadays the menu is so complicated and the modern design feels soulless
Ordering Starbucks in 93: “Grande Latte, non fat milk, no foam.” Ordering Starbucks in 22: “Venti strawberry Oreo caramel mocha Frappuccino with 10 scoops of vanilla bean, no ice, 6 scoops of matcha, 1/13th of soy-milk, add cold foam, 23 pumps of praline syrup and blend that shit 5 times. I saw it on a TikTok.”
fair enough, but people back then were making fun of all this 'newfangled complicated coffee' like starbucks -- the woman in the video even mentions it.
The hospitality sector was very busy back then, up until 2001. food courts, hotels, malls etc.. were full of people. Things were great and everyone was making good money.
@@ryanhilliard1620 I don't know about you, but where I lived cell phones weren't really ubiquitous until around 2005. And they wouldn't have high-speed internet access and quality cameras for another several years.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve looked “Starbucks 1999” or “Starbucks 1995” on Google images…I don’t know why seeing how things use to look intrigued me so much. But thanks for the video nonetheless!
Only one iced coffee. Today most people seem to order cold drinks. Starbucks bought the rights to the Frappuccino from a local Boston coffee shop in 1994.
1993: Everyone is ordering hot lattes and paying with cash 2024: Everyone ordering expensive and complicated drinks to look good on TikTok and paying with their iPhone
As a current Starbucks barista (just passed my 3 year anniversary) it’s so crazy to see how a store operated in the 90’s. Everything feels so… primitive.
but that makes your craft amazingly obnoxious. Coffee is coffee and people ain't drinking coffee for coffee anymore. It's for *pleasure*. And now what people pass as coffee is just completely obnoxious imagination, all sugared up.
You might have been able to get almond milk at hippie health food stores back then. I think you pretty much had to make your own. I could be wrong. It wasn’t completely foreign, though.
I still don't remember when the first Starbucks opened in Huntsville. I never really cared much about that place until the early 2010 range. I still occasionally go into Starbucks for a regular coffee, chai tea latte, and of course, the eggnog latte. I actually want one lol I like that girl with the blond hair pulled back with the red lipstick. She's gorgeous.
Ahh back when Starbuck's baristas actually had to have some skill to grind, tamp and pull an espresso shot. Now they just press a button on an automatic espresso machine.
I worked for Starbucks for 14 years and just saw this video. I started back in ‘97. The woman who hired me is in this video!! So funny! It was a great place to work!
1:56, I have to say it, I dislike it when people are so close behind me in a line, especially when I am trying to grab my purchase and/or change. I think it is so disrespectful
Starbucks wasn't as ubiquitous back then as it is now. I think it was more localized to the Pacific Northwest than worldwide. So I wander where this was filmed out?
As a kid I went to Starbucks. This must have been in like 1995 or 1996. I loved the atmosphere and the smells. I thought it was SO cool. I told my dad I wanted to open up a starbucks, and when I got home I told my mom too. That we should totally invest our money (we had no money) into Starbucks. I think my mom laughed it off. Such is life as a 10 year old...
In 1990, there was a place called Coffee Plantation on Mill Ave in Tempe, AZ. Went there with a friend while I was a sophmore in high school during Christmas. Had a mint chocolate mocha coffee. That was my very first introduction to the coffee culture that was becoming increasingly popular at the time. Then, this new coffee place, Starbucks, starting popping up all over soon after. I recently went to a Starbucks and it was not the same. Mediocre and lukewarm coffee. I was very disappointed. I get much better coffee at McDonalds now. Coffee culture is not what it used to be.
I remember being there around 91. Yea it was a funky hippieish place compared to what it’s been the last twenty years. Imagine it in the 70s. Only seen pictures. Looked nice.
I'll never understand how ppl back then were able to wait in line without a device to past the time. Like I can't just stand and stare straight on for 1 min without looking at my phone. 😐
I have a video project I am currently working on and was wanting to see if it was okay for me to use some of your footage (credit will be given to you of course).
Nowadays it’s like “I want a cookie Frappuccino …add raspberry syrup and some vanilla syrup …with almond milk and caramel all in the cup and cold foam on top and bottom “
I had never heard of Starbucks until I joined Microsoft in late 90’s. I was staying in Redmond and a local recommended the Starbucks in Redmond Town Square. It was awesome and I enjoyed Starbucks for years until the TikTok clowns turned it into a freak drink show. It’s also funny how they claim to be so “green” (ya know, the “crisis”), yet hundreds of thousands of cars are queuing (and idling) weekly at their drive throughs. Enjoy real coffee at your local roastery.
the greenwashing was crazy back in the 90s! For some reason we thought we could recycle our way out of the ozone hole I think was the big concern back then
3 years till internet and email 10 years to cellphone 15 to smartphone These people used landlines and pay phones or more often interacted with people directly to buy sell and acquire information. Oh microfilm in libraries too.
0:23 Ohhhhwwweee! Double-breasted suit jackets. Such a horrible piece of 90s men's finer clothing fashion. Not everyone who wore one was a funeral director. But everyone who wore one looked like a funeral director. But, not to be outdone, 3:32 women's early 90s fashion counter punched with those ridiculously huge shoulder pads making every woman in the office look like a NCAA D1 inside linebacker.
Sounds like a complete chaos to me. They haven't started writing the orders down, nor the names, which concluded to "what did you get again? Double tall?" Not to mention the mess😄 And the ice box is pretty funny. But I admit, it's quite nice to see it from today's perspective, simple times, it's somewhat soothing.
In all of this...I was left wondering...at the 7:36 mark, who is the politician going by in the limo escorted by NYPD with lights flashing or is it a funeral procession...talk about observant.
Natural hair color. No excessive piercings. Normal looking people.. job applications didnt ask what pronouns do you use...bring back those days...and prices. Pls!
This video makes me sad. I'm a gen Z'er but I still try to read a book rather than stare at my phone in public. Although my career is in the tech industry, I do whatever I can to break away from all the static. Might just have to put this video on loop when I'm working for some kind of sanity, since no one want's to actually talk to each other anymore.
I was born in the 80s, and, knowing both pre and post smart phone eras, I have to say that the pre-phone era was superior for too many reasons to count
Born mid-80s here, so like @Flute Basket I lived through both the pre/post internet and smartphone era. I also work in tech. I love these old videos because it's a reminder of what it was like to be out in society without everyone's neck craned down looking at a phone. When sometimes you were just *bored* with nothing to do. I hate how things are now, I hate how people treat each other. If I could be my age now and just live through ~1991-1996 in perpetuity until I died I would.
@@pacadet Agreed. Although, it might be more bizarre and interesting to go and live through the 80s as an adult, as opposed to the 90s which I remember pretty well
Lol when the Grande Nonfat No Foam Latte customer ordered, barista calls it out to bar barista, bar barista repeats it back. It usually meant the bar barista acknowledged the order and wrote down the drink codes. Anyways my point was how the customer repeats ‘nonfat no foam’ as if to clarify right, had I been the bar barista I would’ve said ‘YEAHHH I KNOW, THATS WHAT I JUST REPEATED BACK TO YOU, DID I NOT?’ 🤣
I love how all the baristas pictured were all well dressed (no obnoxious hair color, no obnoxious piercings or tattoos and they all have excellent attitudes and very polite)
You ain't never lied.. And there's no rainbow flags flying around in this Starbucks either. I quit going years ago because the CEO is Godless and hates Christians.
Employers held employees to higher standards back then and working in the coffee biz was no exception. If we wanted a job we made sure to present well, smile, and were calm and polite. The way some people look and act today, they would have had a hard time finding work back then. Work and social standards are not as high and respected today as they used to be.
