My God the years of Sears and JC Penney

Dial strikes first, strikes hard, and has no mercy.

Young people won't have a clue what the guy marking prices in the grocery store is doing. Been a long time for that method.

@@travisrogers5790 Check this out. At Sears Christmas '87 the toys had price stickers. Sometimes the toy had none. Usually you had the same one that did. Problem solved. At times there was a box or boxes of the same toy without a sticker. Now combine that with seven days to X Mas + long lines w/marching orders to ring up those purchases. Our default was the "MISC" button (miscellaneous) which "overrode" the lack of code & price or "no read" when you waved the wand over the barcode. (faintly recall doing this)Result? We put in the price we thought the product was. "Sir, this looks like $20."The long lines were worked through & Sears cash registers kept on merrily ringing & bringing in profits. 😇💵

The best people in the world were born in 1982. Don't fight me, just take my word for it. lol

Miss the 80"'s

I miss the 80’s when things was so normal

3:07 im sure Wrigleys Spearament gum had cocaine in it.

I have missed 😢 these old commercials. They were the best.They don't make them like they used too.farhana

I love these ads I was born in 1982 man those were great days

I get depressed watching these commercials. Its this weird nostalgia its exciting and also depressing. My father was murdered in 83. Also i left a private school to go to public schools and was bullied really bad! Also as a teen in the 80's i started drinking and using drugs at age 12 in 82! I really remember most of these but really love wrigleys gum commercial!💋❤😃😁

Damn girl, I sincerely hope you are ok now, and I understand how reminiscing can be joyful and sad at the same time. Every time I see commercials from the 70's and 80's it's a rollercoaster of emotions for me
