@@ndssguy going to Blockbusters, getting your movie, pizza, candy, and popcorn. Go all the way home, get comfortable, just to rewind the movie first? I will pass.
im so fucking confused i watched this video before and i see that i liked this comment and it makes no sense why did my past self like it. where is that quote from am i going insane
Greg Delia- Well the car was a gift from his parents you see, and one day Johnny went to Dad and said, "Hey I need a cat converter for my car." to which his Dad said, " Go get a job and buy it yourself." So here's Johnny working at Micky D's.
joe Costello heres an interesting fact Greg Delia.... Min. Wage $1.60 in 1972 $2,726 new 1969 camaro base model Min. wage $7.25 in 2017 $26,305 new 2017 camaro base model Currently a 353.125% increase in wage from 1972 to 2017 864.96698459281% in cost of base model camaro from 1969 to current 15.44 should be minimum wage to keep up with increase of camaro humm...
d8154 That's a HUGE disparity! Here in Arizona voters passed a minimum wage increase that from today $10 to $12 by 2020. Already many businesses are increasing their prices stating that the minimum wage even at $10 is too much. I personally thing businesses have gotten greedier over the years.
This is the most accurate training video I've ever watched. Whining customers? Check. Kid who doesn't want to be there? Check. Actual problems that you encounter in food service? Check.
How did they have videos? What kind of machine did they use? Wasn't this pre-VCR? I was in school in the 70s and they were still using movie projectors and film reels.
LisaAnn915 RADIO SHACK store at 4:57! Now we know why they finally went out of business. I'm actually surprised that some franchisee allowed them to use their store because it was instantly recognizable to me!
MrSmmou812 I thought the same thing. Minimum wage 1972 was $1.65. 1968 cam new off the lot was 2800 starting package, let's nock that down to 1400 with depreciation, could be less or more. That's 848 hours of labor (before taxes) to buy in cash without financing. Today, buying the CHEAPEST CAR (hyundai accent) and that's not even in the same realm as a camarro or stang, it'd be a 7400 car or about 925 hours at $8 an hour. So....yeah, the kid in the video could have theoretically bought a car that cheap with a shit job at mcdonalds and was restoring it. But kid today couldn't get the same kind of car for anywhere close to that (and good luck repairing it, they aren't making cars for gear heads anymore).
My father and his 3 brothers were able to buy homes by the age of 25. In the city of miami, at median wage, you will be saving for at least 15 years for a down payment with current market trends. 15 FUCKING YEARS. So after college (assuming no debt from that) you might ow be able to buy a house in Miami by the age of 37! woo hoo...... Seriously, fuck the system.
But that better attitude in most cases doesn't have to mean that you are grinning from ear to ear 24/7... Who does that, anyway? The Joker? Its almost like a backhanded insult to many mistreated workers as it is...
The most amazing thing is that kid is now in his 60s, easily. That's kinda wild to think that. Most of the older people n this video are either dead or in a nursing home.
@Stephen Anthony America is still great. You probably spend too much time watching TV or reading the Internet. Most of America is still decent. Trust me.
@Stephen Anthony I know, and I understand where yer comin' from.. but I still have faith. Life has a way of kickin' young punks in the ass sooner or later. Let's keep the faith.
Wow it must've sucked ordering back then. Customer: "hey I didn't order nuggets." Employee: "that sounds to me like a whole lotta not my fucking problem". (Lights up cigarette)
4:26 Instead of using a giant paper catalog, it would have been much more efficient if this young man had simply used his hand-held mobile device to google which distributor his car needed.
The thing is, as cheesy and dated as this video is, it really focuses on training the one thing that actually really truly does make a difference--not just in customer service situations but in most life situations. It seems silly but, I really feel like so much of this video is true if we could just get over the saccharine quality and our own cynicism.
Proves courtesy is one thing dead among Millennials and the IT generation. The manager's delineation of courtesy was welcome, and glaring in its absence these days.
If any young employee focused on the things shown and taught in this video, that person would go far in work and life. Whoever put this together did a great job - and McDonalds was pushing some good values.
This is actually a pretty good video for the fast food industry. Being courteous goes a long way when you are working fast food and in life in general really.
That little kid in todays time if he was like “I want a cheeseburger” employee: ... His mom: *TURNS INTO KAREN AND FILMS VERTICALLY AND SENDS TO INSIDE EDITION AND THREATENS TO SUES COMAPNY*
I like how he called his four year old Camaro "an old car." But he did only have a two-barrel carburetor. At least if it was a small-block V8 he could theoretically upgrade the manifold and put a four-barrel in.
@@georgeprendergast8305Yeah and? I see White, Black, Asian, Hispanic, Native, and other kids still drive heavily modded cars or nice cars to school in today's Middle America. Why do people like need to bring in race into this?
Courtesy is what makes it all run smoothly. Smiles are contagious too. After a while, you find it's easier to smile than not to smile. You've discovered how good you feel when you discover how good you make others feel.
McDonald's had diversity in their training videos without having to Virtue Signal it out to the world back in 1972. Society is regressing, not progressing.
No. McDonalds was always an entry level job unless you were management. Now you see 40 year olds making hamburgers. Those people failed somewhere in life.
I worked at McD's 30 years ago and I remember hearing that. I still have the hat I wore back then - a paper one like in the video - and one of the old uniform shirts. lol
I mean honestly this video is very true. I worked at mcdonalds starting when I was 17 and hated my job for the first few months and was one of the worst workers there. After a while I learned that if you try your best at your job you can take pride and satisfaction in a job well done, and I enjoyed my job much more after that. I don't really miss working there but I learned alot of important lessons about work ethic and stuff.
Heres the thing tho, with the customer waiting while you smile and talk to them, they just get angry like "IM HUNGRYYY COMEONNNNNNN" and your there like ":) yes sir yes "
Yeah, I'm sure every normal teenager is dying to hear about your spark plug sale. Don't forget to tell him about that AM radio tuner knob clearance sale that's coming up next month.
Either one of two places....🤔 they are dead. Or they are still working at McDonald's. Because they are senior citizens collecting Social Security. And working at McDonalds it's helping them with their bills....🤔
That theme song really tears me up inside. "The greatest gift you can give to your brother is a smile". Man, if we could just realize this along with courtesy then we could sell hamburgers and fries all across the world.
@@Nakhla_Dog he's referring to a specific group that points the finger at everything calling it sexist, the sheep being programmed by the sick society they live in
Not only is your comment show that you're stupid, but clearly u see in my personal avatar I'm white. Which makes you a human fucking idiot walking among us....
Man, this is a legit training video. If you have a few asshole customers, it's the customers. If you have a bunch of asshole customers, it's the workers. Plus if everyone tries to be a little nicer, it would make the majority of people be a little nicer
problem is nowadays people be-little mc d's workers because it's a minimum wage job. I love working and causing a smile on my customer's face. I'm not doing my job because I love the fast food, but because it's a needed experience in order to find a job/career. I'll do my best to accommodate/ensure a pleasurable service but there are times where a customer will waltz in a rage over having no pickles on their burger or drive-thru is in a terrible wrap for hours on in and staff is shorthanded- yet employees are expected to wave a magic wand. I could be attentive as possible, and the order could still get incorrect, or I'll be a mere messenger, having no clue as to their order and get yelled at for not knowing that they asked for such and such sauce. There are plenty of people that make the job experience pleasant, then you get the ones you simply can't please and threat to get you fired over X Y and Z. I can't understand how folks on Minimum wage work with environment like this for years and almost their entire lives.
+Doug Thompson - Because notice that here there's no one over 25 working behind the counter, this was not a full time job back then and people did not look upon these jobs as careers and the main source of income for their families or themselves. That's all changed now.
Aug Steyr I bet the food tasted better. The French fries were probably cooked with animal fat and just lightly salted. The hamburgers probably were a higher standard too. I got an upset stomach after eating a Big Mac and basket of fries at McDonalds about three years ago. I wasn’t alive in the 1970s so I can only imagine what the quality was like back then.
They still taste the same today in my opinion as they did in the 70s, the 60s still had the more natural cut fries though, but the burgers were always flat and flimsy at mcds
I really have to admit that in all the years I've been going to McDonald's, I've never seen an employee with a bad attitude. They are ALWAYS friendly and polite and seem to want to go the extra mile. By far they are the best with their service overall.
Yes, video, because someone trying to select and buy a car-part is exactly the same as someone being indecisive about what to buy at a restaurant that has sold the exact same things for 50 years. Sorry, I run into this a lot in my own job and sometimes it really is a question of, "How hard is to select something to eat?" Buying food isn't like buying some car-part. Buy the wrong food item? You have a slightly unpleasant experience. Buy the wrong car-part? You spend a good chunk of money for something that won't work for your needs and may potentially cost you more money.
The guy who wrote Fast Times at Ridgemont High (now an antique in itself) must have seen this, when he came up with that Judge Reinhold All-American Burger scene with the disgruntled customer: Customer: "It says one hundred percent guaranteed, you moron!" Brad Hamilton: "Mister, if you don't shut up I'm gonna kick one hundred percent of your ass!"
Pretty accurate. In 1976 I wore a dark blue skirt, white pressed blouse with blue matching neck tie decoration under my collar. White nurses shoes with panty hose. I loved that first job and yes I remember the training videos we were made to watch. Had to know math. No computers to tell you how much change to count back to the customers. That would eliminate most behind the counters today.
Last time I went to a McDonalds (on the road and desperate) a large cashier women, who smelled of perfume and lotion, asked 'What do you want!" in a stern manner while staring at the register screen. It was as if I was annoying her. She then supper sized my meal without permission. I try not to eat fast food anymore period. The quality is crap, never looks like the picture, and they hire societies workforce rejects. It used to be mostly decent working high school kids. Now it's a career.
The year of my birth. By the look of the video, I am getting old. When they reflected back to how it used to be, their negative attitudes were just like today's. I sure wish that I could just grab one of the fresh and hot apple pies right out of the screen. That would be swell.
What most people don’t know is, if you are reasonably intelligent, got a job at McDonald’s tomorrow and absolutely busted your ass and gave it your all, you could be pulling 6 figures in 5 years.
Huh? A lot of them would be between 60s and 90s. So, not necessarily all of them are dead. Wtf? You act like this was 1920. And even then, some could still be alive. Idiot.
it was actually fun....most of the counter crew could add up the customer's bill in their head and even calculate the sales tax while they were getting the food....then we'd go to the cash register and ring up the order, collect the money, and make the change.....people could actually do math back then
@@jimrahn5569 Yes, the kids had to know how to do math, and back then, most of them did!....no calculators, no telephones....it was actually interesting work
It sure was hard to do this. People that had no power in their own lives, thought they could come in to McDonalds and act like big shots. They think spending $4 gives them the right to Lord it over the poor kids trying to learn their first job.
