Throughout my entire life I've rarely seen so many Walmart checkouts open at the same time. I suspect the reason the video has so many open is because of it being Thanksgiving week. The last 2 months of the year were typically when Walmart tried to keep as many checkouts open as possible. The rest of the time my local stores only had 2 checkouts open during the day with a max of 6 open in the evening.

This Wal-Mart looks very modern for 2005. It already has flatscreen TV monitors, the modern black signage you still tend to see in Wal-Marts nowadays, no more blue bags, etc... Actually looks a lot like most Wal-Marts today minus the "WAL-MART" signage on the outside as well as the red number signs at the checkout lanes, both being older remnants that were probably already there before the remodel. My Wal-Mart in 2005 still had late 90s/early 2000s signage + overall aesthetic, CRT TV monitors, and blue bags but with no rollback smiley on them at that point.

2005 in Walmart such a magical time, you truly could find it all and there were far more brands and variety and the quality truly far exceeded the price. Back when they had probably almost as much as Amazon and they still had lots of services like same day photo development of 35mm film and the like. and who will ever forget the blessing and nostalgia of 24 hours shopping. Although this doesn't appear to be a supercenter. I'm 33 now

By looking at the cash registers, the date read 11/21/05. So this footage was from Monday, November 21, 2005.

This brings memories to me going to Walmart with my mom and dad after they dropped of my sister and brother at school I’m 22 now and I was 4 back then

I was 21 then. Older people would talk about "the good old days" and "how things used to be". Seems like not that long ago for me, in 2005. But one day, people will look back on today, yes today, and say " those were the good old days." Life is a funny thing. Im almost 40, and old enough to realize that now. It's in our nature to remember the good times, and not so much the bad times. I think thats a good thing. Our brains are designed to forget anything that isn't necessary to remember. I suspect, that's why we remember the good times. I've had relationships that as soon as they ended I had so much animosity for that woman, yet when look back now, even with them, I only remember the good times that we had together. In 2004, I drove a 96 Ford Escort with a top speed of around 90mph (the speedometer didn't work, so you were just guessing) on a 900 mile trip to Orlando Florida. No cruise control, using paper maps, no gps, with my then girlfriend and a group of friends. We had two cars, and communicated with walkie talkies. We stopped at a Wal-Mart in Kissimmee, in the middle of the night, to stalk up on food for our rented condo and week long adventure. While their, we had the misfortune of being stuck in the middle of hurricane Charlie. But even a hurricane couldn't stop our fun. Is there a point to this rambling? Yes, there is. What I'm saying is this. Times are always going to be hard for people, regardless of what year it is. But the best thing a person can do, is to make some good memories along the way. When you get older, you'll forget about all of the bad times, and only remember the good ones. The important thing is that you have some good memories to reflect upon. I see so many young people today glued to their phones, not socializing, hell not even dating. Worried about insignificant things. Acting like they're living in the worst time in history. Afraid to do something adventurous. And not making any memories for their future. Once you get old enough, then your memories will be one of the most valuable and precious things that you have. So make make some good ones.

These videos are great, keep them coming! Especially the videos from the 80's. I keep watching these, hoping to see the Fruit of the Loom logo that I remember...

this is what walmart supercenters used to look like, before the new yellow flower logo that is used today.

I was born and raised in Arkansas and we got the new Walmart layouts first. I remember our town getting the Supercenter with a McDonald's and for a while they had cup holders on the shopping carts. It was hilarious because there was a real McDonald's right next door.

The good old days when people weren't casually pushing carts full of unpaid merchandise out the door and attacking the clerks who would try to stop them.

Yep. Last time I went to Walmart the only checkout lane open closed early and everyone had to use the self checkouts while the employees stood there and watched. If the employees would have just been the ones checking people out, it wouldn't have taken so long for all the customers to do it themselves and leave the store, and the employees looked annoyed the whole time too.

Look at the prices. At my job in 2005 i made $5.65 per hour. 50 cents above minimum wage. Takehome after taxes was right at $5 an hour. My company didnt want to make me full time and give me healthcare so i was scheduled to work 39 hours a week. $195 take home per week! A 1 bedroom apartment was $400 a month!

I remember when Walmart had signs everywhere “Made in the USA”, never see that anymore.

2005, the year my first kid was born. I had a plan for life back then and 18 years later none of it has gone to that plan, in my case it's been a good thing. 2005 was before smartphones were really mainstream but I remember my bosses having company blackberries back then and I remember being annoyed at how they were on them during meetings using that scroll key on the side of the phone. Now people are like zombies with smartphones.

17 years later and they still don't have screens where you can see what the cashier is doing.

My childhood has no right looking this old 😭 I remember going to Walmart in the early 00’s and begging my parents to buy me a GameCube game every time we went shopping

7:24 those old ibm regestier computers are still used in my walmart

Watching people over flow their carts is surprisingly nostalgic, not sure how I feel about that.

Those IBM cash registers were about 10 years old at the time. They're still in use at World Market as of today.

Wow, the register says 11/21/05 which was 7 days before my 12th bday:) Gosh I remember 2005 Walmart.

I was born a year after in 2006 and I wish I lived in this time! My favorite part of this video is when that guy bought that huge Batman Begins tumbler! I have something like that in my room! Love this video!❤

Back when they had more than 1 employee per store

I cannot remember the last time I had the cashier experience at Walmart. It was nice.

I would just like to at least go back there and live. Looking back now 2005 was not all that bad and life was still normal. We had the right balance of everything then. We had flip phones and we were still humble and the crazy people were still in kindergarten and not adults yet.

2005 looked like the 90s still lol.

I enjoy this video. The first wal-mart we had turned into a flea market. It looked just like this one. It was also right by the U.S. and Mexico border. Nearby, there was a Circuit City, which is now a party events center, and a Toys R Us, which is now just an abandoned building, and a mall which the community college bought and shared with the Mexico Consulate in Brownsville.

man, i remember stores back in the day use to be more packed with people at the check out lines. look at @5:04. Amazon really changed everything by enabling people to buy stuff from home.

I can still remember what my old Walmart looked like, the jewelry and electronics and hunting equipment were close together and sat near the main entrance, the textiles were near the automotive section and the indoor McDonald’s was in the grocery aisle. The bakery section was smaller and the cases wrapped around in an L shape.

I can’t believe it: people are actually nostalgic for 2005!

The thing i miss the most about 2005 was cashiers at the checkouts

We shopped at a SuperWalmart back in 2008-2009 in WPB by the airport. This takes me back.

I was born in 1995.. my whole childhood feels like a dram now.🥺

Sirens are fitting, some things never change 😂

Yeah, this is how I remember the look of Walmart back then. There was something about Walmart in my youth that made it feel more tolerable to go in. It feels so degrading to go in there today for some reason.

You know what's sad? This video could easily be mistaken for today because styles have really not changed much at all in the last 20 years. In the last century it seemed like each decade had it's own distinct style with clothes and hair and you could call out which decade it was just by looking at the people in the video. This could be any year from 2005 to today because I see people in Walmart with the same clothes and hair as in this video from almost 20 years ago!

Mid '00's had very different style trends than today. Pullover sweaters, polo shirts, fitted hats, straightened hair, tight jeans, studded belts, chained wallets, durags, etc. Things didn't become so homogenized until it got closer to 2010.

@@paratext All the things you mentioned were just things rehashed from previous decades. I'm talking about new styles that define a decade like in the 50's you had the poodle skirts, the 60's had mini skirts, the 70's had bell bottoms, the 80's had neon, the 90's had the grunge look. That's what I mean. If you look at people from 2000 and forward, they're all wearing things from those previous 5 decades. It's just a mishmash of old styles and there's nothing new and it's been that way for 20+ years now. The one thing I will give that was new were those unattractive, hideous, emasculating skinny jeans worn on men. When I see them I have the urge to hurl lol. It's as if they tucked their junk up into their insides just to get into them and look like a woman. Yuck.

Technology is the giveaway though. Today it is all self check-out and the store is much more focused on surveillance and tracking than it used to be.

This footage is great. I miss this era of Wal-Mart. Is there any way I could go about potentially licensing some of the footage?

Pretty soon, we will be showing this to our grandchildren and they'll be shocked to see that people used to actually do things in person.

2005 to me seems like kind of the doorstep between today and the past that I knew.
