Video of customer's eating and smoking at a McDonalds location in Florida. Footage of customer's ordering food and employee's preparing orders. This video last around 10 minutes. #mcdonalds
There's easily 3x the staff in a tiny restaurant in this video as a big city mcdonald's today, firstly. Secondly, the customers aren't all obese people with a ruined gut-brain axis and entitlement hasn't taken over. Third... yeah you're right. I can't stand workers today.
Facts! They actually worked! See hw many employees were back there and they were actually moving! Today there 5 employees on break and everybody else standing around. Then have the nerve to want higher pay?
Back in the 80s and even early 90s, highschool students REALLY WANTED to work for McDonalds. It was a logical first job, and kids worked hard to earn money to spend at the malls, arcades, clothes, hanging out, movies etc. Today, teens shun working at McDonalds.....
well, ok I dressed like a metal band person in the 80s and still do, in black with leather and stuff, but I get your point. A lot of people now just go out in pajamas or just don’t dress well in public no matter what style they have, and a lot of employees don’t do their jobs now, Lots of rude people everyone is angry i guess in 2023. I love technology but I’d give up everything we now have in technology the internet, smartphones, streaming TV, VR etc to be back in the 1980s though.
Wow. Nobody yelling, screaming, cussing or throwing. Everyone clean, groomed, well and dressed, well spoken. Everyone carrying their self with dignity. Now society is a toilet.
Japan is still like that though... But yeah, I live in latin america, and is the same though, people are rude, kids are brain dead and zombyfied, and everything beautiful is somehow tried to be destroyed. I truly wish God or something really big happens soon, so everything can just reset itself, this cannot continue any longer like this really. My best.
I was 17 in 1984 and I didn't realize how much more respectful people were then, cause it was the only reality that I knew. But living today, I see the difference
Come to Germany, the Most grocery stores or even the most Fastfood Restaurants like McDonald's or Burger King are stil places with Peace, yelling karens or criminal violence is pretty low in comparsion to the USA. Germany and USA are two complete different worlds
@@ekop1778 *Gross* times you mean ... I did not like dealing with smokers while eating. That goodness that is not allowed today! Everything is subjective!
I was a young kid during this era. This is when having a birthday party at McDonalds was every kids dream. A Happy Meal was a big deal. It was actually something to look forward to. I enjoy aspects of technology but I do miss how people interacted before the smart phone era. I got to experience childhood in the 80s and teens in the 90s. I miss those days.
Very true. My dad never let me eat fast food unless I was getting a shot at the doctors. After my appointment I would get some McDonald’s fries and I was happy with that. To have your birthday party there was a dream.
@@Smurfyis730happy meal, the kids meal even had the coolest toys for crying out loud!! All it took was one rotten scoundrel raised by crooks looking to catch a case that ruined that forever
@@Smurfyis730 seriously, the aroma filled the entire space. I remember vividly the older folks, it were mostly polish seniors in my area back then, and they'd be the early birds with the freshest brew all sitting together in a row gossiping about everyone and themselves.
I was a manager from 1978 to 1987 and we were SOOO busy back then. The lobby would be packed at lunch and dinner. Quarter pounders and quarter pounders with cheese were 55 and 65 cents respectively when I started. There was a big emphasis on workers being fast and always saying “thank you, come again.”
I worked back, front, and drive-thru 1992. Question, would you be able to drop in any McDs today and work your shift like it was in 1980? I know, it might take me an hour to get used to what's changed, but the processes remain unchanged IMO.
Hard to believe how nicely dressed, well mannered, and overall how nice people look. Nobody is morbidly obese. No rude remarks or comments. Crazy how times have changed.
It is shocking at the high rate of obesity today. I’ll go shopping and we’ll over half of the people(young and old) are overweight or obese. I saw a picture of a high school female bowling team and 90% were obese. What has happened? I have to blame technology on a lot of it
@Brandon The Sigma I was 19 in 1984 and even though I was out of the house, McDonalds was still a 1-2x a month treat. I mostly ate at home and cooked for my roommates. We also walked everywhere.
Old videos of fast food restaurants are further proof of the past actually being superior in many ways. Everyone's better dressed and better behaved, and the restaurant's cleaner and more efficient. I'd expect the food _quality_ to be superior as well
Back when I was a kid we went on a school field trip and stopped at McD's for lunch. I remember you could smell McD's blocks away as we approached. And it tasted soooooooo good. The fries were awesome. My most recent trip the burgers just taste like chemicals and the fries turn to plastic after a few minutes.
@@Anarchist86ed Dear God are you right! Another thing I remember from 80s McDonald's is that they would frequently employ genuine clowns to play Ronald and he'd just be walkin' around in the place!
"Hi, can I take your order?" "Yeah, give me about a thousand apple pies, because I need to make up for the lousy baked ones that are coming in the future."
@@anonanon7235 yup! Only time you can actually get them again is at Popeyes but you have to ask for them to not put cinnamon on them. It's the closest to those McDonald's pies, or at pizza hut, ask for no cinnamon, but they are very small.
Last year something interesting happened at my office job: the internet went out for the last hour of the day. The offices slowly came to life and everyone was just chatting and socialising since we couldn’t do any work. It’s also inappropriate to have your phone out at work so nobody whipped them out. I really appreciated it and tried to take the experience in, even walking through the corridor looking into each office everyone was just hanging out, smiling and laughing: just for the sake of it. It was an organic, unplanned social occasion and it reminded me of the good old days like this video. The sound of people being with eachother. Ofcourse the next morning the internet was up and running and it was amazing how stuffy, cold and void of human life the office became again. Extrapolate that one hour without screens and internet into decades and entire lifetimes and that’s where the magic lies.
I worked at McDonald's in 1990, and I can tell you without doubt: The people, registers, environment etc, was just like this! How has McDonald's (and the rest of the world) changed so dramatically for worse?! I'm so glad I experienced life in the 80s. Thank you for uploading this gem!
You probably weren’t aware of it back then but you have made an important historical deed when you recorded this. Giving us a glimpse into a gone past era. Thank you for your work!
The ladies at 7:09 were thinking that maybe they were going to be on the news on TV. They never could have guessed that they were going to be RU-vid famous nearly 40 years later!
Listen to all the "Thank-you's". I grew up in that era. What a wonderful world we had. I really miss those days. I really believe we have de-evolved as a society since the 70's & 80's.
In the 90's another thing really changed. Music. Look how DARK hip hop became, all full of cussing and bad vibes. Early hip hop and electro was actually uplifting - it was meant to be that way, to lift the spirits of those in the ghetto.
I was born in 1983 December to be exact..wish I could enter my screen and revisit my loved ones including myself and look a 1 year old me lol. Would be so cool to do that..I love the old 60s TV show "the twilight zone" for that reason..
@@museonfilm8919early hip hop meaning the 90s for me was speaking truth about what rappers either seen or went through in their lives .people hate the music because either they don't understand or haven't lived or seen that life..I was born in 83 and thank God I was not raised in a terrible place although murders and bad things still happened I really didn't see much or little at all..I still was mature enough to know even at an early age that bad things we're happening in the world..I took a lot of hip hop music for what is was worth which was a lot of story telling, true story telling..you can be upset for an artist speaking what's on their mind or what they been around or worse even witnessed..if you don't like hip hop because of profanity then why even watch movies most movies are riddle with foul language..if you haven't noticed movies are just as dark as music and even more graphic when you can actually see the visual..so what's the difference between hip hop and dark movies?seems hip hop gets a bad name more for the color of their skin then the actual verbal language..you mind explaining this to me sir? if not I understand God Bless you my friend
This is like walking into a time machine. I was a little girl in 1984. This is my memory of McDonald's at that time. Cashiers at each register, lobby full of people eating, enjoying each other's company. I'll be 45 this month. It's almost scary looking back and remembering a world that wasn't cold.
I was in my 20s loved big Macs, Carl's Jr & taco bell, now they don't taste the same. I still do McDonald's every now n then for nostalgic reasons I guess
I'm 45 as well. I remember those times. The first thing that stuck out to me was the ash trays on the tables. I remember loving the playground and going into the Bigmac Policmen's jail thingy. Anyone my age will know what I'm talking about.
I kinda cried a bit watching this. In 1984 I was 14 and I used to work at McDonalds from 1983-1987. I actually really liked working there! I made my way into making $5.75 an hour (not bad back then!). I even remember the manager making a real good living too; I want to say about $45,000 a year. Back then that was a lot! I had to go to high school and the company respected when I could and couldn't work! Imagine that! This was my favorite high school job! Thank you Vampire Robot for putting this on YT!
Hi Stephanie, I was also thinking about how genuine people were in those days and I miss them. I’m in my mid 40s but I am old enough to remember those days and wish that we could see some of that same kind of human spirit these days. A lot of those young workers there are now at retirement age which is hard to imagine. Time is so precious and yet so fleeting makes you think about the bigger picture or at least it does for me!
Notice how everyone is friendly, smiling and having a good time. The 80's and 90's was such a simpler and happy time to be alive. Social media, smart phones and reality television ruined society IMO. I would literally give ANYTHING to go back in time to being younger in this era 😢😢
I feel homesick now for a bygone era. People dressed nicely and treated each other with respect. Real conversations without a screen in everyones face.
@@gilson1982 bro I'm 34 and while I like the convenience, our society has gone to dog shit. People are rude, dress like whores or trailer trash and have zero shame. I see zero land whales or screaming kids. I'd give up all my tech so my daughter could live in the 90s society I experienced.
Bro I miss when everybody had personality. Not hearing what media tells you to or how to look/ dress. All unique individuals that aren’t sensitive to gender/ roles.
I was a Crew trainer back then. I don’t miss the smoking section, but miss the flavor of actually searing and seasoning the 1/10 patties. Also the soft serve machine always worked, because at least 3 people on any given shift were qualified to strip it down and rebuild it. There was real pride in the work we did there. We were serving guests who deserved our best efforts. Every time.
Aren't clogged arteries just as much to blame for strokes and heart attacks as cigarettes are. Self righteous hypocrites are always great for a good laugh 😂😆...keep em entertained
@MaryjaneSmith-dm8co The difference is that French fries smell fantastic and cigarettes smell like shit but you guys can’t smell it because you’re addicted and you never get away from the foul stench. Good luck with your health. 😉
I lived and worked in that year but it’s fascinating to see it. No phones, no screens, no overweight people. Everyone is nicely dressed and the apple pies were still fried! I miss it.
What gets me is that people nowadays can't even say "Excuse me" when walking in front of someone. No proper upbringing So yes complete and utter shit with no common decency.
Those days months years is when America was still great. Reaganomics going strong, $5,000 brand new cars, $1.25 a gallon gasoline. $1.50 for a real Big Mac that was bigger than today's. You could still live good and make it in that America that's long gone and never to return again. 40 years later and it's all gone to crap.
I would totally go back!! Life was fun back then and it didn't cost a fortune to have a good time. Now days you have to worry about guns, undiagnosed people with mental issues, and prejudice political people!
Me too, there was a better spirit and more hope back then. People didn't have a impatient sound to their voice. I would even say that people had a more innocent look back then, its hard to explain but you know it when you see it.
Ah back in high school, 84 I was 15. It was a different time back then, people spoke differently, had different attitudes. It was a different atmosphere. Way of living back then was different, this takes me back.
I was born in 1979 so i have memories. I’m guessing this is in Florida. I hear English and Spanish, people of different races and cultures. Yet everyone is so civil and respectful! No yelling, insults, physical fights, etc. Just pure civility and respect !!! 🙄
@@typop I noticed that also. Makes you wonder about the cell phones and the internet, computers. The more technology the more stupid and silly people become
@@kaiser1963 How? People were eating McDonald's in the 1970s and people were not overweight, and eating at other fast food chains. I have seen others that are overweight that never eat out
I was 12 in 1984.. I remember going to McDonalds with friends on a Saturday.. It makes me feel kind of sad to think back that long ago.. Life passes by so quickly.
Remember the decent toy giveaways? Some of those things were better than collectibles in Toys R Us!! Nowadays, it's just some crappy rainbow colouring book!
No self-service machines, no customers (or workers for that matter) shouting or making noise that no one wants to hear, nobody in pajamas, paper on trays, man I miss these days
@@texaswunderkind Wow. Somebody having a bad day? Or are they mad they voted for Biden? I can eat at McD's anytime, I just miss the way it was. Am I not allowed to have memories?
@@jasonvoigt We all miss the way it was. The food was real, smell and tasted better.. Politics has nothing to do with people being mean. People are going to become more mean, selfish as the years go by. Yes, it doesn't matter who is elected
Ha! I was six! Im older and therefore superior to both of you 1979ers! 1978 ftw!!! ..... oh wait.... that just means im old. My back hurts. Im going to sleep now...
I spent 5 minutes at a kiosk today only to find out the payment thing didn't work, so I had to pay at the counter anyway. And then wait 10 minutes for a simple order.
I was born in 1963, and feel so blessed to have such great memories of living in the 70’s and 80’s. Technology has its advantages, but knowing how much it has changed our overall way of life, I’d vote to go back to ‘the good old days’ every single time.
I also was born in 1963. I miss taking the old trolly to go shopping in downtown Pittsburgh. The variety of stores was amazing and always a trip to McDonald's afterwards.🥰🍔
They actually get their food in a couple of minutes. McDonald’s in Uk used to be like this until Uber eats and every McDonald’s now seemingly having a drive through. Now you order and have to wait 30 minutes for them to finish prioritizing the Uber eats and drive through orders before remembering their other customers exist
Lmao, another nostalgic simp. I say this as a 90’s kid who loved my childhood.. Nostalgia is such a cheap emotion that clouds critical thinking. I'm not saying I don't fall into the trap, but but it is easy to take a past situation where you have fully made it through to the other side, and conclude that since all the variables in play have played out, and since it's familiar territory now, it must have been some less complicated, wholesome time, in the same way people are susceptible to thinking that history wasn't complicated, messy, or nuanced for the people living through it at the time. Every generation becomes nostalgic. So, just because we entered the 21st century everyone suddenly became “less nice”? 🤡😂🤣🤦♂️
@@cbgg1585 “so, just because we entered the 21st century, everyone suddenly became “less nice”? 🤡 “Another nostalgic simp” You said it. After reading through your boring drivel it’s not difficult to conclude that people were nicer back then. And not as boring. 😁
Does anyone my age (45) or older remember this time period, but it just feels and seems like a different lifetime, or like it is hard to relate to because you've seen the changes in cars, styles, prices, etc. and you are used to the modern times? It just seems surreal. I was recently going through pictures from my early twenties in the late nineties, and I was like, "wow, look how young I looked". Time has moved so swiftly that it's not like you notice the change as much until you look back through pictures or video.
It's called evolution, and the changes you notice now are relative, the RELATIVITY paradigm: There is no change until or unless you have a previous element to compare to
I am 52 years old, and honest to God, 1984 it feels like yesterday, even though it was 39 years ago now. And I agree with you, that it feels like it was another world, and not the same world we are in now. Very strange!
@@22lilacsky It's a strange feeling. Must also have felt even more strange for people living from 1900 to the 1970s, seeing going from horse drawn carriages to early automobiles to changes in style to even rockets.
Everyone looked like they cared about themselves. Everyone dressed nicely. Employees look great. No rudeness just a lovely din of a busy store!!! I miss this way of life so much. 😢
Most employees were latins, I am, and in those days they were immigrants who took pride in what they did, they feed their family sometimes in another country because of that work!! But still, people simply had their feet on the ground and there wasn't this "brainwash" done by the media, everyone had a different opinion as it should be, but no one killed each other because of it, unlike today, with this pathetic weak generation.
Look! Evidence that their ice cream machine worked at one time! I love watching footage like this. I'm so glad people thought to even document just "everyday" life at a fast food restaurant like this.
I worked at McDonalds in 1984. The ice cream mix came in a big bag with a tube and was easy to put in and take out. Every evening you took the machine apart and sanitized it then the morning shift is supposed to assemble it . And THAT'S where the problem started . Poorly managed crews would put it off during breakfast , get busy and never assemble it or maybe didn't know how. We used to call out sundaes by "male" or "female" , with or without nuts. Pretty sure that wouldn't go over today , ha ha
@@MrByaeger Haha, we had a code for when a good looking woman came in, for example if there was someone worth checking out waiting at register 8, we'd say "McChicken on 8." I think the girls used "Big Mac".
That's because McDonald's wasn't all over the place like it's Today... Back in the 1970s the Ice Cream makers were always working because it was Real Ice Cream.... Than the 1980s was when McDonald's and Burger King went to War and the Vendors supplying these machines couldn't keep up.. at that time the average radius of a McDonald's was 30 miles... Grand population Radius.... Today the grand population Radius is 3.07 miles.... It was easier to get a Polish sausage in Chicago than a Big Mac in the 1970s. But the expanse of fast food was Soo great... That the Ice Cream makers today is more Artificial... Than Real Ice Cream. If you notice the majority of the employees are young.... The Manager was mostly the only one above 25 years.... Nowadays the Employees are Upto Elderly.... That's a result of sending jobs overseas to take advantage of the cheap Labor.... The American people are mostly Service Sector and the really good paying jobs disappeared overseas. Back then you could work 4 days and pay the Rent... Car... Food.. utilities... And go to the ballgame.... Today you work 48 hours and never get above water.... Lower wages and less benefits. That's what happened in the last 40 years.... Corporations stripped themselves of the Highly Qualified and Skilled American worker.... To a Highly Qualified and Skilled foreign worker... With No Benefits.... No Union... No Environmental Regulations.... And very Cheap Labor Costs.... Cheap Wages. I loved the 1970s and 1980s.
@@ricardosoto5512 Well, no... the ice cream machines just did the ice cream cones and shakes. Today they have McFlurries and THOSE are the machines that are always out of order.
@@MrByaeger Me too, twice 1978, and 1984. Way different back then. We made the food constantly. After 11 minutes under the heat lamps, and into the trash it went. No old pre made crap sitting around half the day.
No, you are not. You ever have to carry a map in your backpack or car 24/7 anywhere you traveled somewhere you didn't know? Ever try and find a payphone that worked because you needed to contact someone last minute and hope they were at home? The amount of times this "minor inconvenience" could ruin a day is insane, and cell phones only became mainstream. Then you have the phone camera which has made life sooo much more convenient for record keeping and capturing memories. Remember when you had to carry a giant boombox/camcorder/camera? Disposable cameras were so expensive. Batteries didn't last for shit either on those type of equipment. Also, medicine wasn't as advanced as today...sooo...I don't miss the 80's/90's too much.
Notice how differently everyone dressed back then. They took pride in their appearance. And look at all of the employees! All lines open, everyone working fast and courteous. What a different time. I was 21. I miss those days so much.
For the person that recorded this, you’re an amazing human being for having done this back in the 80s. How I long for the 80s 90s again. People were real and genuine.
sure if u think being hyper transphobic, homophobic, racist, etc is “real and genuine”. oh, and having no consideration for smoking in a lobby full of people and food
The last time I went inside a Macdonalds I couldn't believe what a dismal, dark, cold, unfriendly, and impersonal place it was. I felt as if I were in a mausoleum. I actually ended up leaving. The remodeled Macdonalds' feel like asylums not restaurants. This was a year ago. Ive only gone to Macdonalds twice since for breakfast through the Drive-thru. I heard a man say about the 50s that he wished he would have realized he was living through The Good Old Days. I feel the same way about the 80s. I was 20 years old for the most part of 1984. It was a grand time! Life today seems so angry and miserable. Everyone wants to be on their devices, they dont want to go out to shop, eat or work. They dont want to speak to people in person. All they want to do is be on tiktok making very stupid videos or sell themselves on Only Fans. Its really an ugly time!!
Thank you to whoever decided to film this back in 1984, not realizing how many people in 2023 and beyond would watch it and what it would mean, for those of us in our mid 40s who can barely remember these times it brings back memories
Back when you could eat decent food at a decent price in a decent restaurant ... my god how things have changed for the worse.. McDonalds needs to take a good look at this and take some serous notes.
Back when Conservatives were in charge of the nation. Ever since liberals have gotten hold of this country, its gotten significantly worse for everyone.
we still talk to each other just no one likes talking to an old person always saying back in my dad after all did you love it when old people told you about the hill they had to go up to get to school when you were younger
A different world back then. People are relaxed, aware and communicate without distraction. That vibe - it will never be the same. No kids making brainless TikTok’s. Clean, the lighting is calming, the whole picture is not what it is today, it’s a shame, but I won’t forget these years. Things were simpler and appreciated.
What a surprise, another Karen clutching pearls about TikTok teens. Do you know what we did in the 80's as teenagers? We got wasted on drugs and alcohol, we scammed on intoxicated girls, and we crashed our cars. Teens today are far more responsible, but oh no TikTok!!!
@@texaswunderkind Yeah but we didn't bitch about our feelings, being offended at everything, Whinging self entitled people everywhere, mass psychosis of the commies and LGBT wiggling their todgers in kids faces at drag queen story hour. Social Media and Marxism has destroyed society. They've flooded our countries with mass immigration which has increased crime and drugs exponentially and destroyed industries and businesses. Yeah. We had drugs but no where near the levels it is today. The difference is we enforced drug laws back then. Now we just give them it and include a paraphernalia kit to go along with it. You know nothing about what it was like back then compared to now. Today, society, culture, businesses and family values have all been vapourised. We are a shameful shell of what was once great. Let's face facts here, The small hat tribe of so called "chosen" people have killed our countries. VERMIN!
@@texaswunderkind slow down superstar and act your age . The teenagers are doing what you did as well with drugs and crashing cars and scamming etc but also even more ridiculous stuff on tik tok and instagram reels. I was partying and bar hopping in the 80s and early 90s and it is totally more stupid in 2023 than ever before. Big diff in dumbing down of society. I've lived enough before social media and during it to see the difference
It was best to a young child in the 60's and 70's . I remember going there on Sunday nights after church . No inside dining . You ordered at the outside window and ate in your car . Hamburgers , cheeseburgers, French fries , sodas and shakes that was all they had . Watched all the changes over the years . New food items introduced like Big Mac , fish filet, breakfast items etc . Changes to the decor of the stores . My wife and I had a few of our children's birthday parties at McDonald's in the 80's . Anyone remember the bag of hamburger/ cheeseburger days ?
@@nocturnalrecluse1216 L O L yes I remember those ashtrays too and if we could only realize how this world was slowly go to the dump level it is now and could find someway to stay back in the 80s I think we would but you never know how things are gonna turn out when you’re just a little child years ago
In 1984 I was 11-years-old. Seeing this video was like hoping into a time machine to a by gone era! Feeling nostalgic for the 80’s almost hurts. I miss this era so much. If I could I would go back in a heart beat and wouldn’t even miss having a smart phone. Look at how nice and cozy this McDonald’s restaurant was compared to how they look today. Look at their uniforms back then, how every staff covered each register, everyone polite, and no fighting.
They look like doctors offices these days.. I think there are maybe a handful or less in my area that haven't been remodeled yet.. I'm born in 1978 and the one I use to live near with my mother growing up (who deceased in 2016 from cancer) is still there and looks the same with the same floors, and it was around 1984 when my mother would take me there.. I'm sure it's going to be replaced at some point in the near future.. Some of them were completely torn down and replaced while others were gutted to the 4 outer walls..
I worked at a few of them during that decade as a teen. Some of the co-workers that I worked with were so nice and treated me as if I were part of the family. Nowadays when going to some of them they have that funeral home look and feel with mostly computerized kiosks that takes your orders now. One time this cashier just stood there for a long time not letting us know what the heck the hold up is with a blank zombie stare staring into space before finally taking my order. And my food was so badly made that I was thinking was this actually a cook or a monkey that made my meal?
The biggest difference between now and then is everyone is actually present . There is no way to see or reason to worry what your friend is doing across town, or something political to get mad about online, or people calling and texting you constantly. You just lived your life in the moment.
100% spot on, there is so much and too much social pressure on people from a very very young age these days and its causing so much stress amongst many other issues because of it ... Life is too fast paced now
I still remember my senior year in HS in 1996, a medium double quarter pounder meal was $3.18. Now the same meal with smaller portion sizes plus worse tasting food is $11.25. Ain’t that some shit?
I was just mentioning that. I could get a quarter pounder with cheese value meal in 1994 when I was in my teens (I graduated 1995) for $3.14 and that includes the tax. The fries definitely are not as fresh or as thick as they used to be. The burgers don't taste as good. The Big Mac has shrunk in size and become mostly bread with super thin beef patties. With a family of four, you're spending over 40 dollars for ONE fast food meal. It's no wonder that people are struggling when food costs so much and everything else keeps going up, yet salaries have barely nudged, comparatively speaking.
I'm just old enough to remember when restaurants still had smoking and non-smoking sections. Even today the smell of certain cigarettes takes me back to my childhood.
Awww 1984 was a great year l was 11 years old and in the 5th grade. People smiling, laughing, and talking to each and having a great time. We don't see that in today's society unfortunately. The nastalgia of the early 80's will never ever be duplicated. Life was simple and family oriented back then. Awww after watching this video l thought about my childhood memories. Thanks for posting.
@@doloresbeam8022 And they don't smoke cigarettes today? Plenty of fat and obese people smoke. Not to mention these people are already at MCDONALDS! They don't seem to have a problem with appetite.
Everyone was so attentive at the register…no cell phones, Apple Pay, etc. Cashiers knew how to count cash lol. Everything was so clean and organized 🤩😬
@@LarkpawOfForestClan Gotcha👍, there has and will always be drama, but it wasn't so rampant back then! Ask your dad which environment he would prefer, back then or now?!🤔
It's a crying shame today ,all it is today people flipping out over something stupid like ketchup,burgers cold ,etc in which today fast food and the outrageous prices isn't worth it 😕😕😕
It was 1989 when two redneck mama's at Walmart fought over a doll on black friday. It made national news and the world of retail changed forever. . It marked the beginning of the end.
I feel like the person who recorded this is a time traveller. It's uncanny to want to capture such mundane occurrences, let alone the prices on the menu. He/she could not have known how this would have been viewed 40 years later.
There are tons of fast food restaurants where the employees care about their jobs. Go to any Chick-Fil A. It also depends on the region, pay, and culture. Has nothing to do with "good old days."
if customers cussing, spitting, and throwing food is a normal occurrence, then you either live in a dump or youre confusing your local mcdonalds for a pre-school lunch table
People were either christian or atheist but had assimilated christian values What ever you think of the whole bible story. You had to admit it did help a lot in creating a nice pleasant respectful kind society overall And also in creating a healthy family that stick together for life The total abandonement of christianity and its values. Really did not do families and society any good
I’m amazed by how far we’ve fallen as a society… 1980s was not that long ago, yet everyone dressed up in modest manners, were polite, respectful etc. These days everything has gone down into the toilet.
It was definitely the start of children becoming more disobedient. Boomers were psyoped and told by academics not to spank their children. Not to say no one in gen x and z were spanked. Schools today are mad houses in which kids run the show, and they know it. All by design. A family member of mine taught first grade. Everyday she would break up fights. Rarely is there a father at home. Many are raised by their mothers or grandparents. Many of the kids cannot read. Students are taught to be victims by their own teachers.
I was at a Micky Ds recently and it was pretty sad. Most people were ordering from the self help menus. They had tons of orders coming in from what must have been from their app and delivery services like Uber Eats. The one guy that was waiting at the register was ignored even though he said excuse me several times and eventually left. They could just not handle the amount of orders. They weren't even slacking off they were all working as fast as they could. Technology can be a blessing but it can also really take away from the human experience. Eventually they really will need robots to work at the fast pace that's being demanded from the workers. People don't want to experience anything anymore they just want convenience. I really miss these days. I was a kid in the 80s/90s and I remember you'd wait at the register for them to go get your food. Things still hadn't gotten messed up yet. It really does suck that the newer generations really never got the chance to experience life offline. Everyday life was pretty great. We just didn't know it at the time.
The online delivery services have really screwed everything up. Instead of sitting on their backside ordering everything through their phones people should take the time to leave the sofa now and again.
You've hit the nail on the head. The last time I was in Maccas in London I popped in just for an order of fries to tied me over till I got home. I waited over 15 minutes just for the order and kept getting shoved around at the counter as I was getting in the way of delivery riders in dirty overalls collecting food orders to take out - food orders being delivered in dirty filthy looking carrier boxes. Is this progress?
