This is when you should realize all those employees, we're raised by terrible parents. Not because they workat McDonald's now but how they treat people, the same goes for the customer's as well.
@@matasa7463I was actually happy for him being the head of the Franchising, however, he's been greedy, though make McDonalds and empire, but, he screw up with the Founders. Even though the founders could not see the big future for being contented, Rey should never abandon them. 😢
@@KingofFray The guy ordering in this scene went back on a handshake deal they made because legally he could get away with it and cut the founders out of the business entirely.
I mean, at the time, fast food wasn't a thing. I'd be hella confused too if the order I literally just ordered came immediately right after I ordered. 😅
@@PhoenixFlight8Dyep! Foley! The paper bags or other props that usually make sounds like plastic etc. are made from quieter materials so the actors’ lines are heard clearly and then foley artists recreate the sound effects in film processing
I like how the guy didn’t judge him, he just explained how it worked since getting food that quickly was such a new concept for a lot of people at the time.
@@DaBellOfDaBeets wow, you hate someone for being kind and explaining to someone how something works instead of being unnecessarily rude and not helping the situation whatsoever? Sounds like you have a horrible personality. Might wanna keep that to yourself. 🗿
@@cathypruente-cole9312wanna know the sad truth? They're not broken, they're just extremely complicated to clean so they just tell you they're broken so they don't have to go through the rigmarole of cleaning it (I don't blame them tbh. In one there's getting paid enough for that)
@@RenaissanceEarCandy here in Finland ice cream and shakes are always available at every McDonald's. I go once/twice a month to get my fix and there has never been an issue with the machine. Honestly, this broken ice cream machine meme has confused me for a while now
Back in the 60s & 70s, I remember my parents throwing all the trash in the car right out the window... They'd dump their ashtray in any parking lot they happened to be... Sad thing, everyone did it. There was litter everywhere. Then a commercial came on TV that changed it all .. an American Native/Indian, in Indian attire, was standing on the side of a highway and a bag of fast food trash came flying out a car window, right at his feet. They then zoom in to his face where they show a tear rolling down his face. A note flashed... Don't Litter Everything changed that day
@@teestjulian I'm 64, living in Canada, close to the U.S. border. I remember that ad. That one ad changed my life too. To this day! Nothing goes out my window. I'm at home every day and at a gas station once a week. There is no need to throw anything on the ground, ever.
I agree. Like he has this sparkle in his eyes, maybe feeling so happy to be in a scene with Michael Keaton, and/or a genuinely good actor. And the freckles are also cute.
Yeah the McDonald’s employees these days aren’t nearly that well spoken, polite, nice, or intelligent. Wonder what happened. Wonder if it has anything to do with you know….the type that typically works in McDonald’s now days? The entitled type? 🤷
@@Tbird_11 you think it might have anything to do with the fact that one person could support an entire family with a minimum wage job back then? Or is it just your stupid racism?
I’m sure he has to explain the way they do things several times to people who are not familiar with it. I think he also likes explaining it which is kind of cute just to see the expressions on their faces :3
@Meteorite Entertainment Yeah, it's very adorable. I think he's almost as amazed as the customers are. Of course nowadays the concept isn't all that revolutionary anymore but back then that was the lightbulb of fast food.
Yeah cause the pay back then was respectable enough hence why he's respectful. You pay your workers well and more often than not they will be nice like him
Employees like him disappear because of how toxic and terrible customers are. I know this because when I got my first job in 2017 at a KFC *I WAS that cashier*. That job gave me depression that i'm still on meds for, my manager was manipulative and lied to me constantly, and the customers were so mean and horrible I would spend some of my breaks crying. I've had food thrown at me, i've been pelted with coins when I reminded someone they didn't hand me enough cash, i've been verbally assaulted and threatened and i've been spat on about three times. People are entitled feral animals when they're hungry and that job killed my faith in humanity.
@@dannybrezelhorner2715 I'm sorry you had to go through that. I know the reality of the fast food industry is very different from what is portrayed in the clip. Even though its hard, don't lose hope in humanity, there are still decent people out there even though they are dwindling. I pray your future job experiences are much better and you are treated with respect
After he retired the chain went to shit. My mom worked at McDonald's for years and left in 2004, for other reasons, but that was definitely the turning point
@@WestenCombsHmmm, haven't they reinvented themselves now, not only in America but all over the world? Their coffees are reasonably good, they do have health options like granola yogurt etc. For insurance in India, McDonald's, KFC, Taco Hell, Chilis, Subway are all positioned deliberately as mid-level restaurants with food much more expensive than the local fare. And much more than American equivalent rates. For instance in San Jose,Ca we get 4:99$ big breakfast combos that have a lot more food than the 4$ (Indian rupee equivalent) medium sized chalupa or 5$ footlong sub in India. Sad, hopefully it will change soon.
@@HanginInSFminimum wage in the 1950s: $1 per hour. Or $40 per week. Or $2,080 per year. Cost of house: $15,000 (721% of annual salary). Cost of new car: $1,510 (72% of annual salary). Cost of college tuition: $600 (28% of annual salary). Minimum wage today: $7.25. Or $290 per week. Or $15,080 per year. Cost of house: $200,000 (1,326% of annual salary). Cost of new car: $14,000 (92% of annual salary). Cost of college tuition: $10,000 (66% of annual salary). It’s way fucking more expensive today than it was back then. To pay off college “as you go” in those days would’ve required 11 hours of minimum wage work per week. To pay off college as you go TODAY would require 190 hours of minimum wage work per week. Think about how absolutely fucking insane that is. Your generation had to work 11 hours per week to get through college (you poor, poor souls). My generation has to work 27 hours per day to get through college (fun fact: there’s only 24 hours in one fucking day. You had it easy. You had it easy. You had it easy. One more time: YOU HAD IT EASY! Shut the fuck up and thank a young person for putting up with your idiotic horsehit. P.s. you entitled assholes only got so many benefits and opportunities because your parents (a better generation) fought in WWII. You paid back your parents’ sacrifices by sitting on your fucking asses, dropping acid, and dodging Vietnam. Pathetic.
@@HanginInSFactually that was the entire point of having a “minimum wage” along with trying to keep children from being used as workers or “entering” the workforce. It just hasn’t kept up consistently since the 80s and now does not do nearly close to what it was originally implemented for. Just FYI :)
I experienced this first hand at an A&W. They gave us free medium root beers for waiting till they opened at 11am, getting everything up and ready, and not screaming at them. It kind of took me aback realizing people will just scream at fast food workers or will rush them for not doing everything instantly.
Can confirm. I needed an employee's help with something. He was in an awful mood. He was real short with me. Out of habit, I call people "boss". I called him boss and his attitude changed completely. I said please or thank you boss. Asked him his opinion. I've noticed with waiters too. I'll call one boss and suddenly it's like I'm the head of the table.
I know it is not the same as fast food, but I stopped and thanked each employee at my local grocery store in the days leading up to Christmas when it was really busy. I told them I appreciate them being there, as some of them are there every time I go, and I am there several times a week. If it were not for them, we customers would not be able to get all the last minute things. They were REALLY appreciative, and said they rarely hear it. I really MEANT it too
You must not have been to a fast food place lately. 90% of the time they either just kind of mumble at you or they’re in a huff from the very start of the interaction. You can try to bring as much positivity to the encounter as you want, but you’re usually dealing with someone who is underpaid, overworked, and operating on a combination of recreational drugs who isn’t developed normal social skills and is perhaps working with a limited iq. I don’t say that to be mean, just that most fast workers today are not kids working their first job, they are full grown adults working at a depressing job because they have no other choice for whatever reason. It’s sort of a filter for people who don’t really have the ability or inclination to have a pleasant conversation with you. Anyone capable of doing that is able to get a better job to pretty quickly.
@@a.yakinderklassiker2760 bro we know that's not why, our culture has been ruined since then anyway, people in the great depression were probably way better
Yeah now days you have the black ghetto girl with the chicken head movement, who’s on 3 different phone calls while taking your order, can’t talk properly and just an asshole for no reason.
This singular moment in history, changed the entire convenience food industry forever. Ray Kroc started what ultimately became a multibillion $ industry worldwide with this being the nucleating point for all his work after.
The part of this scene that shocked me the most wasn’t the old school equipment, or even the price of the food but the politeness of the McDonald’s employee!!! 👌🏽
Actually, this was the norm in 1950's America. Workers, whether in food, retail, etc. were expected to act like this and customers expected it. It was a kinder, gentler more respectful society back then. To some extent, it continued through the early to mid 1980's. Then everything went to hell.
He was really paid a living wage where he could even afford to buy a house. When people's material needs and futures are secure, they're much more likely to be happy and kind. Crazy huh?
What's weird is street food existed long before, was just as fast, you eat it outside etc. it makes it seem like this was more revolutionary than it was
Also, back then, the food was REAL. Real 100% beef burgers. Milkshakes made with real milk. Not like today with their soy burgers and chemical shakes which only taste somewhat like milkshakes.
Bruh you’re holding up the line ray Kroc !!!!!!! O your the reason I can have a 20 piece McNugget anywhere !!!!! Take all the time you need sir !!!! lol 😂
@@nate4703Exactly. There’s no competition amongst workers so there’s very little quality in staff. If these companies paid a wage worth working for, their staff may be a little more motivated to provide good customer service.
Because he probably explained patiently the same thing to his family and friends back then in those days, what his work entails and how the customers ‘are supposed to’ eat… 😂 it’s pretty amusing to explain to bewildered folks new concepts of daily activities, in this case, consumption of food 😂😂😂
I watched that movie for my business foundations class back in like 9th grade and I think that employee in particular would go to become one the founders best business associates, if that's the character I'm thinking of anyway. And it was all just because he was kind
@@that_tall_guy7437if you watched it you know the guy that ordered screwed the original creators of McDonald’s over to the point where they weren’t allowed to use their own last name
I wonder if it tasted like a real hamburger (not McDonald's). People had more comparison materials back then. I doubt they would love a current Mac Burgers chemical tastes.
@@writerconsiderednawh you got it all wrong I used to think this aswell first time I saw it. But he actually tried helping the brothers. And his friends he had originally always made fun of him and never believed him. He had a dream and wanted to work on it with the brothers. The real bad thing he did was cheat on his wife and sort of just pushed her aside as he was getting popular but at least he asked for a divorce.
Wish you were visiting Brazil when BK (or Subway) arrived here (yeah, we have McDonald's since late 70's but BK only got here in the mid 2000's). It was just like that. Now, by the tone of your words, I think we have similar experiences.😅
Nowadays it's like you got some lazy ass at the cash register with an attitude takes 20 minutes to get you food then when you get it it's not even right.
And then the fact that they end the movie with Mike becoming rich from stealing the company is such a bold move. No happy ever after. Nothing. Just the plain truth
Wish they found a way to mass produce the food they use to make back then instead of what they ended up with today….. guaranteed night and day difference
My local spot has a dude that is always extremely cheerful. Puts a smile on my face every time I hear his voice. I try to tip those poor souls a fiver every time I stop by for a burger.
This is the reason why i stopped going. 😂 They always got a attitude like I'M the reason they're working there or some shit. 🤷🏾♂️🤣 Maybe I'll go again when they start getting robot workers. 🤖
It’s only the new employees that’s got their foot in the door after 2 weeks that seem pleasant… Customer: I’d like a burger, med fry…. 5 +yrs vets: sir will that be all??
