Trips down memory lane, via YT

[PGen98]

I really like watching peoples' old videos of going to a restaurant or visiting a store from the 90s or 80s or even before. It's a reminder of how things used to be, so figured we might as well share a few here that we found on YouTube, just in case anyone else likes to watch them, too. Maybe it's an old training video, or maybe it's just someone's old home movie that they've uploaded. Let's see those yesteryears!

Here's another trip down memory lane. Remember those menu boards...ah...good times.

Another one. Just need to see how things have changed or not changed in the years since these were filmed. Also the awkwardness of having a camera around then versus now where they're everywhere

Yeah, but I do have to say that we have nicer restaurants nowadays, some of those were looking pretty ghetto back then.

I like the modern aesthetic more than fake laminate wood everywhere and cracked tiles they had back then.

Oh absolutely, we have moved forward quite a ways from the faux wood paneling and brown menu boards galore. I miss the prices, though!!

Yes! Prices were way cheaper back then. Adjusted for inflation we are still paying way too much nowadays.

Yep, when fast food was fast food, not trying to be gourmet with $12 burgers and $5 fries. The prices just now are ludicrous. Watching those old videos, I saw one customer paying less than $5 for three double cheeseburgers. Today? That's $15 easily!

Yes. You should see California prices, double everything you just said

It's only slightly "better" in AZ, honestly.

I used to work for the west coast version of Hardees (Carls Jr)
....only for a very brief period of time when I was a teenager. That job sucked.

 

[PGen98]

Ah, the terrible British version of Match Game...

...and since I've started on the old game show thing...
