Worked for Starbucks for almost 11 years and I hated it. The sound of the blenders alone makes me want to scream.

I worked at Starbucks in New England from 2003-2007 while I was in college. I miss the old Starbucks logo.

I love the atmosphere in this video

Lord….I didn’t even know what a Starbucks was in 96.

Those kids in the thumbnail are the epotime of the 90s..Kurt Cobain shirt and a flannel shirt. Makes me so nostalgic as I was one of them. I was 15/16 in 1996.

Venti Starbucks iced mocha latte for $3.45 😱

"see you tomorrow" the regulars before a work shift started.

Looks pretty much the same layout as it is today. I am still intrigued by the flat(?) touchscreen monitor they get to use. The first time I have seen a flat touchscreen monitor was in the early 2000s. Lot of people I've seen used CRT touchscreens back then. Maybe that's just me, or I haven't been paying attention.

I think the atmosphere was a lot more cozy and warm back then. Not much has changed though

life was so much better before social media..im so glad i was the last generation that grew up without all the eletronics..1993 baby in the house

Ah, back in the day when Starbucks was a little rarer of a thing. I miss how much more cozy it felt then. They used to have big leather or upholstered armchairs and sometimes couches, with warm lighting. I get that things like that wear out faster and need to be replaced, but isn’t it still worth doing? Starbucks also used to sell other interesting stuff like brewing equipment. I still have a Starbucks “Barista” brand burr grinder from around 2002. It has a few quirks now, but still works. Today it’s mostly just wooden chairs, drinks, and a few mugs. Far less interesting and cozy.

Hope that guy got his "gas money" and is doing better today.

Everyone was so polite and well mannered back then! I hear a lot of thank yous!!

The camera quality is amazing. It’s hard to believe the video that old as well, seeing how the 90s fashion is becoming a thing again.

This is my favorite channel

Back when Starbucks was cheap and really good

A few of them brought in their own reusable cup.

What stands out to me is there’s no blasting music going. People could actually concentrate & study or do work if they wanted. Also, (& no shade here) all the employees look so normal. No bright blue hair, no guys with makeup on & long painted fingernails, no 25 piercings, no pronouns…

Everyone is so pleasant.

Not a Starbucks guy but good vid overall

I prefer the old logo over the new one.

Starbucks Karen’s of ‘96!!! Love! 😂

9:58 didn’t know they had touch screens in the 90s! I thought that wasn’t a thing until at least the early 2000s

Watching this at a Starbucks now!

were these film student projects? really nice documentation. the faces, the expressions, the humanity.

Awesome man where did u find these videos?

This can't be starbucks, there's no homeless urinating in the corner.

I didn’t even heard of Starbucks back then! 😂

Hard to believe 1996 was 27 years ago from 2023

It looks like an IBM 4695 touch screen at the registers

How about a little coffee with my ice?

I love that Kurt cobain shirt

😊😊

Damn, this was 3 years before I met my ex-wife. When we split, she moved to Seattle and got all Starbucksy and hippie-like, so I can’t tell if this vid brings me joy or absolute terror.

I love the mocha frapp !

Everybody is paying with cash. I wonder when they introduced card payment...

Bring back that tiger logo

The receipt printers are busted.

Hope their enjoying retirement

I didn’t know they said “my bad” back then. I thought it started in the 2000s.

starbucks now have drive trus

Venti Iced Mocha 2.45.

Karens were a rare breed back then, it seemed. Making a public scene was frowned upon. Now it's sport or even staged and then posted on social media for clicks, likes and profit. Calgon take me away ... sigh ...

Bro, if you don't have money for gas, you don't have money for anything. Of course his mommy gave him some green, likely for him to buy some other green.

I still go to Starbucks have been since around 2004 ish

Too bad nowadays u gotta be rich to afford Starbucks lol

i was born august 1996

Back when you knew if the barista was a boy or girl

Back when having crayon-colored hair, tattoos, and multiple face piercings wasn't a pre-requisite to work at Starbucks.

Back when Starbucks WASN'T woke.

Starbuck today is way more chaotic with so many customers coming in speaking loudly. A few SB I have been through have had cafe be quiet, but some of them have that one customer that feels like they need to scream to the world what they are doing today. Might as well give your full name and social security number while your at it, am I right?
