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.

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.”

    they had more employees then to properly run the restaurant. Fewer menu items but better ingredients and quality. Blame "optimization" and cutting every corner to squeeze just a few more pennies of profit out in the short term, at the cost of long term service and quality. I quit eating at McDonalds when half of them installed touch screen order kiosks instead of having an actual cashier available.

    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 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'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”? 🤡😂🤣🤦‍♂️

    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!!

    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

    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.

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.

    This is awesome footage! Thank you! No rude customers, pleasant customer service, friendly cashiers, no hair bonnets, no sagging pants with dirty hair, etc...everything and everybody looked clean and respectable.

    This is how I remember McDonalds. Even though I was born in 1985, my first memory of McDonalds was in 1989, I remember the workers dressed in this attire and they were so wholesome back then. It felt like a trip to go to McDonalds, it made you feel good eating there, even the Happy Meals from the 80s/90s were on a different level. The toys were better quality than today and the happy meal carton box had an elaborate design. Different times, better times, people were calmer, dressed better, little to no tats, etc.
