My neighbors love when I play this. This track hyped them up so much that the party got out of hand and they accidentally threw a brick through my window

That song gives you plenty of time to contemplate quitting and finding another job

"The associate is available at all times" while they probably have her running cash registers, gathering shopping carts, mopping the floor, cleaning the bathrooms

This granny rap caused the east coast vs. west coast rap wars during that time.

every day at 7 in the morning the employee stumbles out of bed she wants to stay home and sleep in but she has to go to work instead

I feel so bad for the people who had to sit through this.

Now I finally know who influenced Dr. Dre.

I cant believe someone would actually want to steal these clothes

I don’t care that Ames went bankrupt in 2002, whoever thought this was a good idea should be sacked.

I was the male backup vocalist in this song. I was 16 years old. I also did the MIDI bass line with my KORG Wavestation

1:46 Top 10 raps of '96

Let this be a reminder why companies shouldn’t try to be “hip” and “cool.”

"Lemme know when you're ready and we'll make an even exchange/That way you try on everything you wanted to try today" LYRICAL FIRE🔥🔥🔥💯

I need this as my ringtone lool

If I had a nickel for every store orientation video I've watched on KZfaq that had a bad rap I'd have a lot of nickels.

Just think somewhere in a board room there were a bunch of overpaid company execs meeting with an advertisement agency and had to approve of this training video. Can you imagine being the fruitcake who had to be the one who gave the go ahead for budget to produce this classic Gem! 🤣

Here's an oldie for ya. Take this job and shove it!

I was an assistant manager for Ames right out of college. It was sad that I had to make new hires watch this lol 😅

well it's better than most songs these days full of autotune with lyrics about big bootys

The 1990s called. They want their dutch camera angles back.

This was by far my favorite training video. I tried to buy it when the store I worked at closed, but no go. Thank you for posting this!

I started crying tears of laughter during the song XD

And three weeks after "production" wrapped, Ames closed.

Boardroom exec meeting went something like..."Got to protect those company assets and profits. But how can we get the message through to the kids that work in our stores? Hey I know! Let's make a rapping video and theme it around their popular music TV show. Well done Chad. You're up for promotion."

"At one time..."

Wow, that's one hip hopping old lady, givin' out her wise words of wisdom right here.

Hahaha! I actually remember this from working at Ames like 10 years ago...

When you order Kurt Loder from Wish

I love the mullet!

this lady got some serious skillz.

2:36 - I heard "twy". Anyone else?

Dan bell brought me here

Better than CardiB.

This rap is so good

Why didn't they make a single out of this? It could've made a bunch of money.

and lets just say for a moment the lady wants another size just tell her to go on a diet then the clothes will fit just fine

At one time That's right at one time

This is STILL far better than Gucci Gang.

Rapping Granny FTW!!!

These some mad beats fam.

When there were department stores and a lot of people working for that personalized service. In the last 15 years , you had to start a fire in order to get anyone's help

As someone who has worked customer service and retail for a LONG TIME, I would have LOVED A FUNNY VIDEO LIKE THIS 😂😂 LIKE THIS GRANDMA JUST BE SPITTING LINES LIKE 😂

Watching this video makes me miss the mid-1990’s. Things were so much simpler. Almost no international or domestic turbulence. Everything was just business as usual. Then 9/11 hit and our very identity changed.

I don't understand, did she say it was 7 maximum garments?

Everyone Is thinking this. This rap is a banger.

I can feel the soul in me slowly draining...

i like how this just has no comments until now

I question the street cred of this rapper.

When all of them talk and say the same thing at the same time in the song they sound like the Borg collective.

I have to admit this is kinda cool to see videos like this. Ames seemed to be a fun place to work in it’s time and they seemed to stress safety and educating their employees on retail 101. I have a huge appreciation and respect for retailers like this. It’s a shame they’re no longer around it seems like they were a fun place to shop. I give all my business to brick and mortar retailers I do not shop online and I am not a fan of amazon because they are killing our Jobs and infrastructure. We are losing a critical amount of our stores and Amazon is monopolizing the markets and they are cashing out on our strip communities.

This is pretty impressive! Ames must have been doing quite well around this time because they used the most cutting-edge graphics, color scheme, and music for this video-although it was only to be used internally.

CHADTROPIC SENT ME HERE

Ohhhhh, this is my jam!!!

2:24 This part always gets me

damn this beat is popping

Only Rap I could ever listen to

I found myself grooving to this....and that qualifies me as a hardcore Ames fan!

Walmart needs a video like this, they are fucking useless at changing rooms

I took the test and answered, "AT TWO TIME". didnt get the job I felt like a knob But my career in rap It is where its at Ames cant beat that

That's one catchy number.

That ole granny is awesome !! Who is she ?

I consider myself a connoisseur of training videos and this is the absolute worst one ever

With that thumbnail, is this a Benny Hill sketch?

Any wonder they’re out of business? Lol

wow, this is quite entertaining to watch!

Rappin for Jesus VS Fit for you Who won?

this is the best thing ever

Oh my God these videos are so condescending and such a hot mess but that rapping granny is hysterical!

Forget Kesha's "Praying" and the full uncut version of "All Too Well," THIS was the worst snub in Grammy history

watched this when i was 16. my first job. was so disappointed i was never shown another training video ever again

I HOPE THEY BRING THIS BACK WHEN AMES COMES BACK 😂😂😂😂

Fabulous Fitt is my jam!!! 🤘😎🤘

Best song ever

Both Oddity Archive and Dan Bell brought me here.

In the beginning, that's the guy that said, "Girls in high school keep getting younger, but I stay the SAME age, YO!"

But why 6? That poor person with 7 has to come back out just to grab that one last item?

" She wants to twy on some items, and maybe she'll twy on more"

I actually think this is pretty cool. And I’m sure they enjoyed filming this!

Old customers in background prolly died from embarrassment

Omg...this hurted me physically, emotionally, and mentally to watch this.

Yeah, the trick is to be kind…

This is hilarious!

That haircut 😹😹😹

I watch this often which worries me that I love this cheesy old broad

Best rap song ever

Imagine writing this and bragging you wrote it

I never did care much for rap, but after watching this I'm no sap, gonna try on some clothes at Ames, and never gonna snitch the names.

How could I tell from the thumbnail that lady was going to rap?

Should have been on MTV

I wanted to hear Shrink Alert too but I guess I'll have to buy the tape!

do you have anymore ames video like these day

New sound hitting the street huh 🙄

This is actually so catchy oh my goodness they need to win a grammy or something. It’s just a masterpiece.

Oh god that was so awkward and forced. Why the hell did a discount store lock their fitting rooms? That's just asking for trouble.

Red Letter Media needs to get ahold of this for their Best of the Worst series.

Chad tropic

ames: ah yes, being *hip and cool will svae us from bankruptcy* 2002: im gonna end this mans career

I only listen to real music. Like this, and Rapping for Jesus,
