@@boznsjbruhstudios6383 yeah but those things are so hard to find without traversing heavily around and really not much of a choice for there to be any real options of negotiation of the prices because if ya do not wanna do it then they might know that already SOMEONE will even without you.. so yeah its kinda a rock and a hard place like trynna impress or make a good impression etc with new people particularly for avoiding burning potentially vital bridges etc for whether for bussiness or other relationships or for romance etc etc and even the friends or paticularly fam etc of somebody if like talking making a good impression of like for romance-wise a "good &/or approved fit" so to speak to an extent... of ones potential itnerests fam and friends that obviously are the more probale if not firstly gonna be the most probable to influence after the persns own decisions what they do or choose... after all they "just met you" hehe you know what I am saying

@ImYourPapi that makes sense... especially cause if 8t is someone really good with editing it makes it harder to tell although not impossible if it is verified with numerous sources (not affiliated with each other of course) but yeah.. only havng been really back then a feasible thing to do is edit things within the span of maybe two at most... vhs level of qaulity/etc "generation" dubs or duplicates for splices etc to "splice together" a film reel etc so fo speak... not really much of an issue now just merely copy whatever one choose prwtty much

And the music they currently blast at full volume is straight up garbage.

That's true. Target use to be very quiet

If you think they blast music like it's a rave at Target, I have bad news about how old you are.

@@postmalort9267 I’m old enough to remember when shopping at Target was a pleasant experience.

No they don’t. They play it at calm and normal volume still

I'm not much older than you, and I thought the same thing. It's very surreal how long ago my teens and early 20s were at this point.

@@beepboop7041 I don’t know what you’ve been through and wish you the best, but I feel it. Times felt much more happier back then. And of course, it makes me feel really old after realizing this was 17 years ago. Glad these videos exist. Never would I have thought to film an everyday video of shoppers so others, decades from now, could reminisce on the nostalgia.

Yep. 2005 is still part of the modern era. You can even see the difference between 2001 and 2005.

I'm glad a lot of people are saying here not much has changed. I think between 2000's, 10's and 20's- when it comes to lifestyle and culture, pretty much catastrophic events like 9/11, recession, crazy elections and pandemic are the only things that set them apart.

That's why I love the 2000s. 😅

i actually think the 90's essence died after 2012. after 2012 everything changed. every. single. thing.

It looks so different compared to today, some of y’all need to get out of the ghetto

@@the.seagull.35 sorry I didn't meanit like that 😂😂 I meant it like it's cool how different things were back then, and I guess cool that we don't do it like that anymore lmao

They were; I want to say the last time I saw one that really made a difference in my childhood was being able to play Rogue Squadron on the N64 in the back of my local Wal-Mart at the time in their McDonalds (literally the back of the store; it's weird thinking about it now when they want to throw Auntie Anne's, Subway, and Starbucks in the front now)... heck, live lobsters being sold were still a thing. K-Mart's K-Cafe was also a treat. Feels like yesterday and the 2000s were a blur with how quickly it had passed. In the local metro area where I reside, malls have been so dead inside that I don't know how they survive; I remember they had miniature flea markets where you'd buy baseball cards, Pokémon cards from the first generation, and they'd have fountains galore... the total ambiance just sounded like life and fun. EB-Games for example where I used to buy and trade my PS2 and Xbox games are only but a distant memory. Makes me feel so old! Used to buy Star Wars figures at K*B Toys in anticipation for the release of Episode 1. If I could, I would definitely go back and relive my childhood. The very same Wal-Mart I referenced was where my dad and I picked up the PS1 for my 7th birthday and I got a PS1 with Twisted Metal 2 on its release date. We then went to go and eat at Ryan's... I'm not even sure if those are still around anymore because the last time I ate there was almost 20 years ago lol.

foodcourts will never die in the suburbs. my target has a starbucks and dominos

My Target, which opened in 2003, had a food court and a Starbucks. The Starbucks is still there, but several years ago the food court was converted into some strange department that sold alcohol, opening up an aisle for grocery. The food court originally had a Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, and random other food. Their chicken noodle soup was amazing because it sat in the slow cooker all day. At one point though, they cheaped out and literally started microwaving bags instead. It was difficult staffing it since they had to be properly trained. On a few occasions, they would make me work there, even though I lacked the training. It was only for an hour or two before the section would close, and some days they would just decide to close it early instead. Pretty much I was shown how to heat up the pizzas, but then told to only do so when ordered (they take 8 minutes) because any left overs had to be thrown out, because they did not want to encourage wastefulness in an attempt to feed the underpaid worker ($7/hr at the time this was filmed). Because they had a Taco Bell, I would buy the nachos, which was 75¢ at the time. I was underweight and poor, but it got me through the day. Most people just wanted icees. I remember microwaving mac and cheese once, but also remember when they finally closed the Taco Bell portion. It made no sense, just dropped the sign, and like 4 menu items. They had a box of that nacho cheese in the closet, which I found YEARS LATER. One day, as a treat, they had nachos in the break room. 😳 It’s now Drive Up storage.

I miss the Pizza Hut pizzas ☹️

@@wickedhouston5538that’s not a food court tho… lol those are franchised food places … not the same thing as the OG target food court

Yes.

Yes. I was 14 that year.

It wasn’t that much different honestly. Social media wasn’t as big, but it was still around. MySpace and online gaming was huge. KZfaq was also starting at the time.

Me too. Smartphones ruined everything.

@@myidolgwen359 Crazy how time flies. I was only 9 in 2005 and I too remember seeing lots of Ads and commercials of the Xbox 360. The console was definitely ahead of its time in terms of graphics and performance. The games still hold up well to this day.

I remember PS3 came out that was a massive hit

what no i 9 and the ps3s all that came out when i was 12-13

🤣🤣🤣

I just hated the parents who made a mess and walked away. Never EVER would knock someone for spilling popcorn over sheer amazement of something.

Jackson MI still had their cafe until last year. It was called Food Avenue. It closed and was walled off and is now their pickup area. Jackson is one of the few targets without a Starbucks or pizza hut.

@@eyeflaps Dearborn MI and Alexis Rd Toledo OH both had one as well that became part of the order fulfillment area due to covid

The Target the is closest to me just got rid of it's small foodcourt last year or the year before. They replaced it with a storage area containing items for those drive up and go customers

I bet lol. BF was a little more chaotic back then. I think things changed a little after that Walmart employee was trampled to death some years back.

@@vampirerobot oh yeah, I remember that. It had improved a bit. It ain't even called Black Friday anymore, instead "Black Thursday", as most stores will continue to be open and will have organized lines inside the store. Some employees can't even have a nice Thanksgiving dinner with their family. Sad to hear that.

looks like a totally normal Target to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You're just talking yourself into being right cause you're a weirdo. Never seen a store look anything but fine.

Nah, I make sure my zones are on point.

There was also a ton more of cameras and video recorders in the electronics section. You can only find a few of those things now on display today.

That toddler is probably the same age as my sister. She is 21 now.

Yeah… like my mom said, everything is going to shit

I disagree . I was 10 in 2005. Looking back on it, the biggest difference has to be social media. It’s not like the 90s & beyond where there were drastic changes.

Yaasss I was the same age in 2005 and social media killed society girl. I remember shopping at Walmart and Sam’s mostly with my mama lol growing up. Target was every blue moon for us back then.

This was the last year of my life I was happy!!!!!!

I feel you, but people were still doing crazy things in public, they just weren’t posting it on the internet.

My local Target used to have those lights until maybe 2016 or so (which was also around the time when they turned the Pizza Hut Express that used to be there into a stupid sandwich shop). Nowadays, the lights are completely gone and the upper walls are a dull prison gray instead of red like they used to be. :(
