Lol…. I caught that too!

I think she’s saying “ _you’ll_ like these”, continuing an earlier conversation about what type of shoes they wanted.

And no tantrums from the kids😊

​@@HominaHubbadisagree, its at 1:40 or so, I don't hear a contraction, just a pronoun. Granted, it's maybe a distinction with little difference. But Mom said these are the ones on sale, followed closely with an expression on her face which clearly indicated, at least to me, that this wasn't up for debate even a little bit.

My mom said the same thing - LOL

It’s so terrible what had happened to the culture

Seeing SEARS definitely put tears in my eyes. You know how many times my Mom said "Don't touch that." then CRASH! Belt right off the rack, few swipes then put it back. But yeah, as Stevie Wonder said, we'd look back wishing to go back.

Wish I’d never left My mama died two yrs later (34yo) Plus my childhood was pretty carefree even with my parents divorced My teens n young adulthood were ummmm not (widowed at 25yo w/2 littles & a baby)

You nailed it. Every word. 💔

I am 45 years old and OMG sometimes I wish I could Teleport back to these times . And look how respectful the kids are, I remember I had to behave this way. Nowadays you have kids out of control in stores.

Yes I totally agree with you I was around the same age back then. Some of my greatest memories in my life were from those days. I'm sorry about your father I lost mine in 2008, but at least we were blessed to have experienced those times.

Shang, if it's any consolation, judging from my observation, your dad raised a very nice gentleman. I'm absolutely certain he's proud of you.

Nothing corny about that, my friend 💛

I'm right there with ya

💯 in agreement with each one of y'all! I'm 57 now and those sweet memories going to Sears or Montgomery Ward with my parents will always hold a special place in my heart. Things back then were so much simpler and carefree, God bless each of us who got to live in those 70's & early 80's 🫶✌️🩷

I wonder why. I think we know the reasons.

AND no one in the video saying DONT FILM ME, or YOU CAN'T DO THAT! LOL.

And using a cell to make comments KZfaq.

She didn’t even bother wearing a seatbelt.

I think cell phones have done more harm than good. And big box stores drove all the mom & pop stores downtown out of business. The community aspect of store ownership has all but disappeared.

And rolling the windows up by hand.

​@@mach5jeepGreat for building biceps! 😉

Right. I immediately recognized the "clunk" of the car door and the "snap" of the column shifter going into reverse. Amazing what we remember.

Yeah, the squeak and the hollow metal sound when it closed.

Cars had personality then!

Facts when there on sale your parents didn't give you a choice🤣🤣🤣

And the mom going "do you like these" more of a statement than a question, like "you better say yes," lol. Can relate! 😂

$8:97 though...

That is what you do with anything. My mother and grandmother always preached "get whatever is on sale".

@@jamieSp69the fact was at sears for the price minds blown miss them days

Dad is right there, behind the camera.

Yeah cause totally only women can do decisions

@@ReginaTrans_ Not women, MOM.

Great comment.

Those were times when kids looked up to the leadership of their parents. The parents had real sense of authority over their children. Nowadays, you’ll see children disrespect their parents, rebelling, being disobedient. Kids running all over the store, dropping hangers, and items without any sense to pick them up. Parents even seem oblivious to it. Leaving the mess for the store attendants to pick up. I even witnessed a kid cursing at his mother at Walmart. Utter disrespect to authority. Just chaos what you see in the stores. Mess all around. I would like to go back to the 90s again when I was younger. Kids were raised to respect adults especially their elderly more back then. Even more so in the decades before the 90s. Also God was at the center of life.

@@rachelrivera91 You're living in a fantasy land and and romanticizing the past. Kids, as a whole, back then were never as good as you remember and they aren't as bad today as you think.

@@fartpooboxohyeah8611 We lived back then. We remember it exactly as it was - and there is plenty of video evidence to back it up. Society has plummeted.

@@fartpooboxohyeah8611 ~ I was alive as a kid back when this video was made and it not fantasy. If you don't think kids were a 1000 times more respectful back then, then its YOU living in a fantasyland. There were repercussions back then that kids can't fathom these days.

That is what me made click on the video

Because the children are big as the adults. In waist line sizes. 😅

Kick ass ride

The problem was people didn't appreciate the in-person shopping experience enough. You don't know what you've got til it's gone...

Sidewalk sales - in our small town, it was the event of the summer. Main street shut down and everyone downtown to get the bargains at 7am. It was like a consumer festival, in fact it was a consumer festival. Lots of fun.

Sears faded away because of the old men who were in charge at the top and refused to expand, learn, or change. This was their down fall.

@@elmobolan4274 This is usually the case. Those who have all the power also carry all the deadweight. It's the fresh, svelte, hungry that change.

My mom worked at Sears in 1977. I loved to go see her at work. Fun memories of those old Sears days.

I am so sorry your mom, dad, and little sister are not here....may you keep all of your wonderful memories close to you in all ways, always. Blessings.

Not for me. I don’t stay stuck in the past. I actually enjoy life

@@UGC4life but you here watching 45 year old movie clips instead of watching a " future type" video.

@@cajuncyclerestorations145that doesn’t not make his point invalid about enjoying life in the present. You can enjoy looking back in time without living in it and lamenting the present or future.

Yes I miss how things were. Everything has gone to dog shit.

100% agree!

That's cuz we were younger and felt better!!

Sorry you didn’t grow up in the 60’s.

@@jimg7318 I got just a taste of it, was born in 67.

I turned 13 in 1960. The music was great and everything else seemed perfect. By the 80’s and 90’s it seemed to all disappear when what was actually happening was that I had a family and lots of responsibilities. I think every decade is great when you are growing up and your only real pressure was getting your homework finished on time and hoping the girl you like; liked you. Now I’m 76 and the kids are all grown and the grandkids are all having fun without a care in the world. Everyone’s time comes and goes. The pressure on me now is getting the grass cut before it rains.

I'm pretty sure I had the exact same shirt that the teenage girl had on. And yes we shopped at sears and penneys also

My 2nd car was a Torino _Wagon._ 1972. Imagine a teenager in the mid-70s driving in a car straight outta _National Lampoon's Vacation._

My parents bought a 1976 Ford Torino station wagon with a 460 C6 trans , brown with the fake woodgrain paper. Vista Ford. I drove that to high school. It was fast for a land yacht. My father put 429 CJ heads, alum intake, bigger carb , high flow manifolds , dual exhaust, no cats etc. RIP dad, thanks for the memories. My mom turns 82 tomorrow.

i miss my 2 grandpas and my grandma.....rest their souls....still one grannie alive and kickin....

And they didn’t have tattoos and pierced faces. They didn’t all have Attention Deficit Disorder. And they made eye contact and spoke clearly to customers. They were courteous.

I remember all of the good shoe stores. We had a lot of them in downtown Pittsburgh. The quality of shoes today can not compare to the well-made ones back in the good old days.

As a 1980s kid I remember the full service of which you speak. I also remember full service at the gas station. What the hell happened to this country? 🧐

That's how I remember it. We made it a family event.

I like the way you write.

I was thinking the same thing. Nice to see people looking around, taking it all in,instead of down at their phones and unengaged. I do miss these times

That's what I noticed to. Life is supposed to be "progressing" but seems as though society is devolving instead of evolving. We have too many material "things" now but many people are empty inside.

@@user-rh8iy3dw6o agree. So much easier and quicker to get material things. That’s why so many people are in debt now. Before you would have to order from the catalog or actually go to the store you wanted to buy it from.

Old photos and home movies were "staged" because being filmed back then was special. People tended to dress up for the occasion and acted differently.

@@SunriseLAW Sure. But observe the people in the background, those who are not part of the “movie.” They are not dressed up or acting differently than they normally would; they are calm and focused, too.

His Dog Tige...he lived in a shoe also...

Bought shoes at Buster Brown also. I remember my mom buying me 30 dollars worth of new clothes at the girls junior shop at Sears. The department was called the Lemon Frog shoppe. 30 dollars for clothes I thought that was too expensive but I appreciated it.

The Ford Country Squire -- We had a tan one -- The wood paneling was fading of course -- Never saw one without the faded paneling. I drove that car my senior year in high school.

And today, 90% of the population would be miserable without it.

And no tattoos

No social media. No rap music, no tatts, girls and boys being themselves.

Also no overweight people, life before fast food was normal.

@@wallysymons7540 Cane sugar was in soft drinks until the late 80s when the food industry decided fructose corn syrup was cheaper. However, it also made people insanely obese. When I graduated H.S. in '86 I knew of only one girl who was slightly overweight and that was probably genetic. We were all thin back then.

It _should_ be priceless to everybody. For someone like me who has vivid memories of 1977, as though they happened yesterday; and those much younger who get a peek at life 47 years ago. As a kid I valued what I personally experienced and looked upon old music and old media from the 30s and 40s and it seemed ancient, because it was before my time - while my parents were the ones looking at it and remembering those times when _they_ were kids. Fascinating to think about.

Hardly anybody. Who could afford a camera with sound? We never had one. 8mm, silent only.

@@briane173 Fascinating🤔🤔🤔

Its the peoples fault, they are susceptible to suggestions in the media, the majority just follow whatever is advertised.

Cars today are safer, run more efficient, provide more information, and generally a hell of lot more fun to drive. So goes it for all other aspects of our lives that technology has improved. So which is the better option now?

@@cesarjom More fun to drive todays cars? No way)) More information?? What for? Its just taking more information from you, your habits, the way you look, its actually breaking and compromising your privacy!

It's not growing up that's the issue. It's recognizing that the high-functioning, high-trust, complex yet orderly society we grew up in has devolved and effectively disappeared. We're not getting it back, either -- the people that lived then had a much higher sense of responsibility and competence. That's gone too. All empires decline and collapse. Guess it's our turn, now. 😢

​@@bendy6626 Absolutely and a higher sense of right and wrong and good and evil. Dare I say people had or most people had a conscience back then. You could count on it.

I could’ve written your post.

It was back when parents actually parented. After the 80s the body politic demoralized the nuclear family to the point where two-parent families are a minority, and kids are just what happens when you get laid. Raising them? Sheeiit, that's what the _government_ is for. Faith? That's not hip! Put away Faith, Hope, and Love. That's so 20th Century. We're all oppressed victims now. Just ask all the young kids being raised by public school teachers these days - when they're not out terrorizing their neighborhoods.

They had a catalogue too to order from.

@@ericknoblauch9195 True... here in Toronto Sears was well known for multiple seasonal catalogues, my parents kept them all... till the early 2000s when it was taken over by the internet.

Yes but like she said they had to be on sale. Frugality was a staple in our family. Taught me good lesson.

​@valeriekehrt7566 My parents weren't even frugal, they were stingy. Our clothes were almost always secondhand.

@@ericknoblauch9195 They were the first retail company to have a a catalogue. And the first to ship goods to your home using the railroad.

The hippocampus is an area of the brain associated with long-term memory and the amygdala processes emotions. Smells travel in the form of neurons through both these to the olfactory bulb. That is why the smell of bread (or moth balls) can instantly conjure memories and emotions of grandma's house. They were all stored together.

Someone playing with their new toys was my first thought. My husband keeps remarking on the quality of this clip and all the equipment it would have taken (at this point in time) to do it.

Hardly, the crime rate was like 4x what it is today, the murder rate was more than double of what it is today, and the standard of living was lower than what it is today. The only thing we have today is more access to information - and people choose to dwell on the negative, like yourself, so they convince themselves themselves everything is worse - when literally just about everything is better.

@@rodmunch69 what part of my post talked about crime rates in big cities or standards of living? It was about how people felt and respected each other.

@@patriotdrone9566 depends on where you live I guess. Where I'm at, in the few places that still exist that are like this, things operate pretty much the same now as they then did. However if you're comparing to a trashy places - well, go to a ghetto trash store in 1980 and it was pretty much the same as Walmart is today. That's more about the people that go there. Sears, in the mall, in the 1970s and 80s was fancy and upscale - you need to compare similar stores back then to what we have today.

Sears was Sears and Wards was Wards. Nothing trashy but nothing fancy. Upscale was someone else’s neighborhood 😂

I remembered going to Weinstocks also. Lived in Sacramento, California.

Remember going to and hanging around a Sears or other department store to watch TV shows in color (we only had black and white).

Now, now, don't suggest the past was anything less than ideal.

But you were 13 (or thereabouts) when Star Wars came out and you remember 1977! That’s amazing and I’m envious of that!

@LetFreedomRing1960 You do understand Baby Boomers created HipHop right. A lot of people forgot that Generation X had nothing to do with the creation of rap.

That's because time makes you forget the bad and only remember the good. The Vietnam war was half of the 70's, the protests, treating returning Vets from combat like shit from going to a war that many of them didn't want to be in but they were doing their patriotic duty and serving. The Asbury Park race riots were not so gentle either. Every generation has great music, if you are open minded. Born in '77, I have music from the 40's to new releases this year in my top rated playlist. Lot of garbage out there too... in every generation. But of course music is subjective and some give a gasp if a baseline is too prominent in a song.

Good points, now everyone is fat and unhealthy. If you're thin in America, you're in a small minority. In Asian and European countries, everyone is not fat.

It's not agriculture. It's a matter of an active vs sedentary lifestyle. Back in '77, kids did disco dancing which burned off LOTS of calories more than they consumed. They also EXERCISED and ran and played activities outside in the lazy afternoon until sunset or when it got dark. Television sets were in the living room or den; not in each individual room. In '77, Home movies were a luxury; but now, kids have thousands at their fingertips and access them all hours of the night. Don't even get me started on home video games. As the saying goes, poor health does NOT run in your family; it's just that your family doesn't run.

@@lakebay972 Your right about it not being "agriculture". I must have had a brain fart at the moment and really meant "big food". They convinced the govt., around 1980, to swap sugar in for fat in the dietary guidelines and we've been getting fatter & sicker ever since.

Several years ago I was driving a car with crank windows. I had several people become absolutely furious with me because they would approach the passenger side, expecting me to just push a button and roll down the window for them but I couldn't, because I didn't have power windows.

I think you'd get the same service at a Dillards or similar level of store today.

These Salespeople were FTE's and dressed nice and made a commission off everything they sold. They all seemed to do well back then as I recall.

You can thank Walmart and the people who shop there for all those things having gone away. People who work at Walmart are treated so poorly they can't even afford health insurance!

Nowadays you have to ask for them. They no longer leave them out for you to do your own sizing, which is odd because it’s not like the employees are going to size you up. Maybe at a fancy shoe store, where they keep everything in the back, but very rarely do those exist anymore.

Lol I kind of hated them

And of course great service from the young lady .

My love for America was generated when I was a kid living in the Middle East. I was watching American shows and movies, and people were like the family in this video; I saw good family ties, decent dress, and even the behavior in public was positive. Now, 32 years in America, I see America like a dying flower. I lost hope in people and governments. Looking at this video makes me miss America I dreamt of; there is no good land to live in. I pray that Jesus comes very soon and takes us from this Satanic world.
