Shopping at a mall in 1983

C'mon man

We could just move to Russia, which seems to be having a renaissance. They still have some values over there.

No one wearing those ugly slide slippers with socks

Fashion changes and so do its arbitrary and subjective "rules"

I think some of the women must have gone to the mall after work. I was a teenager in the 1980s and i dont remember anyone putting on dresses and pantyhose just to do shopping.

No one wearing crocs

​@@ellemjayI was 26 in 83 and I remember it just the opposite from you. We did dress nicely to go shopping, or to go anywhere publicly for that matter.

Mindless shopping is so Buddhist and awesome.

That was when people actually looked forward to socializing face to face. If I didn't answer the phone when you called me I wasn't home.

Funny because people like you all say the exact same thing in these kinds of videos. Maybe y'all are the ones that are mindless.

Do you even go to the malls anymore? No one does this wtf

Much better than the 90's/

@@bobwreck3775No, the 90’s were way better. Then murika ruined the world with 9/11.

I remember working retail in the late 80’s where you had to manually enter in bar codes and stamp the charge cards and everything was gobs of paperwork! Lol! It was a pain in the neck but times were a lot more easier and people were more kind than people today!

True 80s❤

No lol

Yes they definitely are❤ would love to find one to own today and put it in my living room!!

These registers are actually more hi-tech than what I was use to seeing in my town mall. I remember them pressing and sliding a carbon copy receipt for credit card purchases. LOL

I was a teenager, then young adult during the 1980s. I'm sorry for the people who didn't get to experience it. The 80s weren't perfect, but pop culture was slot better then, I think. People's standards were higher.

Class of 85 also, so many great memories!

We used to go to the arcades at lunch time in high school,pockets full of quarters and always late getting back to class☺️

Class of ‘84 here and I agree, it was a wonderful time to come of age.

The ripped jeans come about 4 or 5 years later at least for myself as I sought to look like my favorite band at the time: Def Leppard. Also take note that it’s mostly women shopping. For the most part men worked and women were wives and moms and homemakers. Great time to be a kid. I was 11 in ‘83

@@innocente7795 ummmm…ripped jeans was a hippie era thing, the 60s and 70s.

Started with the loser bum grunge and hiphop in 93.

@@johnsmith-ug5tp Sorry. You’re late for the party. Waaay late. It started in the 60s. “Transitions Through The 60s, 70s, and 80s With the ’60s and the hippie culture, we had a new evolution, the ripped jeans stabilized their idea everywhere and became, “officially”, a status symbol. With the ’70s and the change of generations, this trend became more and more popular, especially among the younger generations. The ’80s witnessed a huge number of subcultures embracing this trend after which, its acceptance increased year after year arriving at the peak with the grunge culture at the end of the 80’s/beginning of the ’90s”.

1. This was shot inside a Bloomingdale’s store in 1983. At that time they were a higher-end department store that attracted older and generally more affluent shoppers who would be more likely to dress conservatively. 2. Pink/green/purple hair, Mohawks, tattoos, ripped jeans, army jackets, combat boots, and piercings very much existed then. In the early 80’s if you were walking around malls and other public spaces (mostly in large cities), you would see young people wearing this style. They were usually called punkers from the punk rock style popularized in Western Europe in the late 70’s. Admittedly, the look was not as widespread as it is today, but it did exist along with the preps, the jocks, the geeks, etc… I was alive and well at that time. There were plenty of older people from the 50’s and 60’s griping about what “the kids were wearing” back then, as well.

That was the year I married too 😊. I sure miss those times!

Yes the contrast of how women dress and act today and comparing it to back then is sickening and disturbing. Guys like me dressed nicely too and took pride in our appearance. We didn't look like bums and slobs that just crawled out of a goodwill box the night before. Back then, maybe 1 out of 500 young women were s**ts. Now it's 499 out of 500. Back then, Women had class, self respect and took pride in their appearance and acted like a lady and expected to be treated like a lady. I tell the young guys this all the time when they tell me how these young women behave these days.

Crack cocaine and AIDS?

​@@thingserik7269 I think in 1983 most people didn't know what crack was. Most people had probably heard of AIDS, but it was not something an average person worried much about. Those were developing problems, but we didn't know how much of a problem. The 1980s was a good time. Especially the first half of the decade.

@@MaxZomboniyeah, all of the people who didn’t worry about it died in the late 80s-early 90s.

@@FreeportHometown Yes, but we are not talking about late 80s-early 90s. We are talking about 1983. No AIDS deaths were recorded in 1983. Also the vast majority of people who didn't worry about it, didn't die. Like 99.99999999999999999%

I was 20 in 1983. After 20 your life skips by so fast. So yeah live every minute.

Forty years just vanished @@AntipodianMusic

I was 21 in 1983 (turned 22 in October) I remember everything clearly:). It doesn't seem that far back....

That's exactly what I was thinking - how many of these people have since passed on. In one sense, I know it was a long time ago, 40 years. But, in another way, it seems like it was just yesterday😢

Yes sir I was 16 back in 1983 now nocking on 57 boy the time just flys doint it.🤠

Oh yes my too! A striped polo...love it ❤!

It's almost a supernatural notion, today.

Yes, we didn't get an indoor mall in our town until 1991. So, going to any mall in the 80s was kind of a treat. I was a teenager in '83. The things I really liked in the mall were the record store, Radio Shack, and Spencer's Gifts. And, there was a clothing store called The Weathervane I liked.

Noticed that to but the camers back in the day were so big you could not help but see people useing them.🤠

Miss those registers too❤

Same for me! It was so exciting going to the city and to the mall. I can still remember the smell of it - a unique and pleasant mingling of perfume, coffee, and new shoes. The hum and pulse of activity. Everything tangible, sensory, and immediate. It really was a communal experience. The internet and cellphones have given great things with one hand... and stripped us of great things with the other.

We did too. The Sears on Olympic Blvd in LA was within walking distance from our home and we spent al lot of time there. My mom always put stuff on layaway, we went every payday to make a payment. It was always so exciting when we made the last payment and could bring our items home.

And now Sears is gone! It lasted over 100 years and we killed it.

Clearly summer shopping.

You mentioned the ticket master office, and I worked at a retail store that had one in the early 80s. I went to work where I had to open our store. I arrived to see a small group of teens waiting. The more the time passed, the more the kids were showing up. I noticed they had Black Sabbath tee-shirts, and quickly figured out that they were there for concert tickets. The Black Sabbath, BOC show, or if you can remember, the Black and Blue tour. Mostly males, and looking to buy that extra ticket for a girl, or maybe a friend to go with. By the time the store was to open, there were at least a couple hundred kids. The venue was in another city, because the city I lived in was still pretty small to hold a major concert event. I put the key to lower the all glass door, and it was at least a good seventy feet long, and 12 feet high. It was hydraulic, and lowered into the ground. Once I turned the key, the kids pressed forward, and when there was space, started to climb over the wall as it was lowering. I immediately stopped the key, and shouted hold it!!. I told the kids, who were also my age, that I was not lowering the door until everyone climbed back down. Lucky for me they did so. I then proceeded to lower the door again until it was fully down. I then said go for it, and the race was on to get to the ticket office four floors above. Never saw anything like that in my life. It was a very dangerous event, and I always felt security should have been watching that door. They were trained better, and someone could have been crushed by that door, or ran over trying to get upstairs. Of course the store would get sued if that would have happened. That is a lot of responsibility for someone who was severely underpaid, and those who were trained and paid more were drinking coffee somewhere in the security office. But,that is how they did things.

@@avalondreaming1433 But how? Technology? Human error? Economics?

You and me both.

Me too

me too just not with the smoking indoors everywhere. I'm glad weve gotten rid of that at least

Credit cards, aka bank loans were only available to upper class. Working middle class or working poor were not allowed to have Credit cards. Working middle class and working poor could only purchase items by cash or store layaway.

My mom and Grandma had a credit card back then, and they definitely were not upper class

The technology we have today is great. It's the philosophy of 1983 we need to bring back. Everyone wasn't offended by everything. You could fight back in self defense. We did not have school uniform requirements in public schools. Your safe space was your private bedroom. Oh yes and kids bedrooms doors had locks built into them like every other room in a fucking house and you didn't hear anyone scream "kids have too many rights!" Oh and when a kid used a phone in 1983 nobody screamed "kids under 18 should be banned from using phones."

The mall I worked had Ed McMahon showing up. Richard Simmons did a workout there, met him. All the security team got dressed up for him, like it was the Oscars. I was laughing. They never met him. He was snuck in under their noses. lol! His limo driver was interesting. He was an old timer who drove for Gina Lollobrigida. She was telling him to drive faster on the freeway, but in America, they have speed limits. lol! She did not know that. Best place to get high were the fire exits. Nobody used them of course. And all the phone numbers from the countless, and now faceless girls. I can't remember most of them. Just a few who I ended up dating, and breaking up with. Great to be young then. Kids today just try to grow up too fast. Stand in line at Starbucks waiting with their friends, or mom while they spend dad's money. Nothing has changed! Except what you said about screens, and reading reviews.

@@tomodonovan5931 I did see Richard Simmons once in person because my mom worked out at one of his Jazzercise places outside of Denver and he made a public appearance to promote it.

You took the words right out of my mouth, all of it. And I was 13 in 1983 and it definitely was the best time to grow up. My teenage son even wishes he'd grown up when I did. I just wish we had taken more pictures and videos of everyday life back then.

Not a mall. This is Bloomingdale’s in the heart of Manhattan.

​@@chalkloungeYes, but it's the same difference there's still that mellow 80s lighting instead of the interrogation led lighting we have now.

​@@chalkloungeSome old people are famous now.🤭

I think it's because people like keeping it simple nowadays. The past 10 years or so, the whole minimalist movement has taken place, and it emphasizes neutral colors when it comes to clothing. Having neutral or darker tone clothing also makes you look smarter, more classy, etc. Colorful clothing gives off the impression that this person is lower class, has lower intelligence, etc. This goes all the way back in the days, it's not a new thing. The 60s was the start of the rebellion age, where the norms started to break apart. That's when you started to see culture change, women started wearing pants in the 70s, teens rebelled against their parents, rock n roll, so on and so forth.

People are far more lifeless and vibrant now then they were then. It makes sense to me that they would wear more colorful clothing then. Today even people's voices are monotone with little difference inflection. It is unfortunate that drab is the current lifestyle choice.

Color has nothing to so with how classy a person looks. Just look at the Amish! The drab lifeless colors people wear today reflect the times we live in. The vast majority of people now being chronically depressed and morose lines up perfectly with today's style choices. @@jukio02

​@@matthiasheppeyes it was better. It was real food then.

​@@matthiasheppe It's cause everything these days are cooked in seed, and vegetable oils while stuff back then used ingredients such as beef tallow. It's the explicit reason why McDonalds fries and food changed so much in flavor due to their change from the use of tallow to oil. It's likely also why people always feel like shit because any oils other than Avocado, Olive, and Coconut are linked to inflammation of the gut and intestinal tract which can result in higher occurrence of cancer cells developing due to intestinal and stomach cells frequently being damaged through the inflammation process. But, hey, at least you wont have a heart attack eating McDonalds every day while they use oils, as said by Phil Sokolof, who funded the studies that linked oils to being better for consumption than tallow (doubt).

I loved that sound then and now...instantly relaxes me

Yes I love that too,,, and the different indicator lights on the board above her fingers( for bank check info)?would love to have one of those registers today but cannot find one 😢those were real cash registers 💯

Like Sylvie living in the 80s McDonald's in Loki to escape apocalypse. Can't say I haven't had that thought before seeing footage of them. Those skylights! Sure they were typically greasy, but if you worked there you could fix that.

It was a better time things made sense. If I had the ability to go back in time to 1983 empty handed or stay here with all I earned, I’d genuinely leave here empty handed and start over in 1983.

And the kids of today who spend $3 for a plastic bottle of Coke will think back...to the good ole days...when dollars were a thing.

I believe malls allowed smoking throughout the 90s as well. In certain designated areas of course. I know that the Cambridgeside Galleria in Cambridge, Massachusetts did anyway.
