Oh my goodness! Bravo! You just validated exactly why this type of video is priceless - the words I’d use to describe what you wrote: goal oriented, healthy pride, strategic, hardworking, placing the customer first; through easy access presented by you. Do we have that these days?

When people took pride in their jobs. Now, get hired, quit, walk out 5 days later. MAYBE. Call out constantly, or no show, no call. "Oh, I put it on Facebook." Yep, I heard that one. NO work ethic in the majority of kids today. So many mentally disturbed due to nature and nurture. No nuture. Broken homes, no homes, neglect . Many in therapy, on psychiatric meds. Great job boomers and the ones behind them raising kids! Not to mention media's part, schools , core curriculum, dumbing down, indoctrination centers, social media. Complete devolvement of society into a 💩 show🤡 we have today.

Splendid Memories Indeed...

Awesome ❤❤❤

It was a wondrous time to be alive! Everything seemed possible!

Never let anyone convince you that cellphones didn't destroy civilization

I was a small child but I still remember it. Wish I could go back

Me too.

I know it's the popular thing to do, to make like "nostalgia for years I never experienced", but you can still live like this pretty easily.

women arent tatooed like a pirate lol

They didn’t have the balls yet

​@@cajuncyclerestorations145 no nose rings or face piercings either

Good one 😂

@@kris78787 unless they were part of the punk scene in the late 70s early 80s but mostly not

Yes and I also think people miss the pre-social media/internet times too. There's just something about that time that was special

Serial killers were more original back then.

Oh please, every generation that gets older thinks these things....

I’m with you. In fact, I grew up in NJ so I’ve never pumped my own gas. Even though I’m across the bridge in PA now, I cross to get my gas. Cheaper too

@@samanthab1923 Enjoy it while you can. Here in Oregon they just got rid of full service gas last month. Just yesterday I found that Circle K convenience stores near me still have attendants to pump gas. They will be getting all of my business now.

I love self checkouts The cashiers are inept n take forever-so would u for min wage I value my time

And all the people 60+ are dead.

@Purplenpinkk Yup. I was saying that too.

I was born in 82, now I'm 41 😊🎉

​@@Purplenpinkknot necessarily

I see Aqua Net Hairspray

Of course life was easier when you were 13 and did not have bills, work and family stress. Adulting is hard!

@thebluetarp You and me both. I was only 3 in 1982, but that decade was the best one of my entire life. Each decade after became progressively worse, although the 1990s maintained a lot of the good things that I loved about the previous decade. It was the 2000s and beyond that made me hate life and obsess about wanting to return to the 1980s again. 1980s > 1990s > any year after

@@davidcolantuono3622I’m the exact same age as you and I agree 100%. I miss the 1980’s and 1990’s so bad. Life sucks nowadays

Doctors even Recommended our favorite brands for us on TV. Imagine that

@@acgillespie were they still doing that in the 80s? I know they were doing that in the 50s

​@@oldradios09 they cut out cigarette commercials in the 70s. That's when the public first really stated becoming aware of how dangerous smoking is to your health. And it wasn't until the mid 90s when smoking was banned in restaurants

@@oldradios09 Oh sure. Right up and into the 21st century. It all started changing around 2005 I believe

@@oldradios09 Oh I thought you meant the bans of smoking in public places. The bans didn't reach us until after 2005

Thank you!

I started 7th grade, and the first season of the tv series cheers just aired. Years later would group with other shows on NBC to be must see TV on the Thursday night lineup. Cosby show, cheers, family ties and nightcourt. Back when tv was entertaining.

That was back when TV Guide actually had listings as to what was on the TV!

I turned 17 that week .. 🥰

I USED THOSE A LOT THEN AT REGISTER TASTED SO GOOD NOT LIKE THE DUNKIN KRAP WE GOT NOW

I wish.

I'm in my 60's and I remember the stores banning paper bags, save the trees they yelled. What happened to save the trees? There's something wrong when most things in the store are in plastic bags and they give you plastic bags to put your fruit and vegetables in but you can't use a plastic bag to put your groceries in. Why don't they ban disposable diapers? They are made out of plastic. If they did that they would have riots in the streets!😅

If we were smart, we would.

The hair in 1982 wasn’t as big as the hair in 1988 I guess

That didn't start til mid to late 80s

For real?

I remember that also as as their slogan was "We are fresh obsessed"

Grocery Outlet needs that policy now....

That was a great policy! All grocery stores should of followed with this in the years and decades after AP stores closed.

I like the Coke bottle.

Imagine the 🤡 today trying to count back change in their heads!

@@patricialavallee8286 Exactly

Jersey here too. I remember shops like that!

@@standardnerd9840 Cool 😎

Yeah, I used to work at a store back in the 70s where I had to run an old Anchor register with the rows of numbers from 1 to 9. I was pretty fast at it since I worked on the stock crew and did all the pricing in back so I new the price of most items before I even touched them.

😂

Yup, right about the same time seed oils started being promoted and you know grain was subsidized. Recipe for disaster.

This is true!

ShopRite and Safeway both exist today but I’m not sure they overlap in what regions they serve. ShopRite serves New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut.

My mom was a Shop Rite shopper. Still have one near me. Always packed

Me too :)

Yes, and they certainly have not adjusted perfectly with inflation as some apologists will claim when people make your point

When I was a kid a pack of gum was 25 cents. Now it's almost 2-3 dollars for a small pack of gum!

That’s the part I’m envious about. Probably the same for cars and houses too

Was it glass do ya think?

@@flutebasket4294 It was plastic.

@@kevinsmith5288 Lies~ Not plastic~ Fake Kevin Smith~

​@Buttermilkjug I remember buying them, they were plastic. And I don't appreciate you saying that I lied, but so easy to do on the internet, when you don't to face people directly.

😂😂🤣🤣

😂😂😂😂💀

😆

My dad did too!! 😂 I was born in 82’, but we still had an A&P when I was like 5, bulk candy was my jam!!

😂😂

Everything had this Brown, orange, red, yellow, white striped aesthetic in those days you can see it on the A&P branded items

No doubt holdovers from the 70s

Now everywhere you go there are white walls and it's like you're in an insane asylum.

@@elliecherise1968 I totally agree!!!! All glaring white and fluorescent lighting and NOISY too. Those big grocery stores who have people talking all loud on the intercom and doing advertising shticks, etc. It's psychological warfare out there.

@@courtnayj4990 Starbucks still has a living room decor. They should have supermarket Karaoke 2-3 times a day, it might help people chill out a little more and get millennials and gen z out of their comfort and vanity cellphone zones if they have to make a jack ass of themselves in public😂instead of hiding behind screens. On social media everyone's pretending they're living the perfect lives.

We had a Grand Union near us

We had A&P and Big Star in the Atlanta area and SC.

I forgot all about Big Star! We had one in Roswell, Georgia.

Unlike plastic, that glass gets properly reused and/or recycled and doesn’t go to waste when people think they’re recycling (greenwashing).

I caught that Old Milwaukee 😂 that stuff was swill

If you are talking about at 1:14 I believe that is a plastic 2 liter bottle of Coke, similar to what is sold today. Those were introduced in the late 1970s. Before that even super sized bottles of Coke were in the classic stylized Coke bottles design.

In the 60's we were able to buy quart bottles that were in the classic shape. But my mother would only get them on occasion when they were on sale 4/$1.00! @@MaxZomboni

​@@Greenwings701 Yeah, I couldn't remember the exact size, but you are right. There were 32 oz. glass bottles of Coke, and I think I remember seeing them in 4 pack cartins. I think the problem with 32 oz. bottles was that they really weren't that big. Sure you could buy one and share it between two people, but what was the point? For the same price or less you could buy two 16 oz. bottles and each have a bottle. 2 liter bottles was a game changer. That was the first time that families or groups of people could buy one bottle and share it between everybody. But still not as convenient as everybody having their own bottle or can.

Your luckier than me I turned 10. You got an additional decade of coolness in your life.

My mom was also born in 1962

I sometimes wonder: Would you rather be a kid in the 80's or a teenager in the 80's (or a young adult aka in your 20s)? I was born late 70's, so I was an 80's kid. Sometimes wonder what it would've been like to been a teenager or young adult in the 80's.

Aw, Polly's! I was born in that area but we moved inland when I was 4. Mom had liked Polly's so later on after we moved she took my brother and I to Polly's on a visit to the LB area. That was a great place. So nice to be reminded. I'm glad I ran across your comment.

Lol

😂😂

SAME COAT AND EVERYTHING TOO!

In my opinion, food tastes worse now. Corporations are concerned with using the least-cost commodities in their products and it shows.

Except for the high fructose corn syrup shoved into everything these days

Wrong! Who do you work for, sir?

No it doesnt.

@@nadineskye7050I could say that too. A Totinos Pizza from even just 20 years ago tasted better to a Totinos pizza now

I saw several fat people in that video.

I zeroed in on that as well 😮 I can’t remember buying a pound of sugar

Love U 😘

@@vampirerobot you too my friend 😊

Kids 25-30 years ago ain’t as misbehaved as kids today are they? 😂 (every generation thinks they never did bratty stuff when they were younger) Not to mention things being still in mainly glass packaging I didn’t see a plastic ketchup bottle on that shelf.

@@oldradios09 No but at 3:05 I believe those are yellow plastic bottles of mustard on the top shelve. For some weird reason mustered had already switched to plastic, but ketchup was still in glass bottles probably into the 1990s.

@@MaxZomboni Yeah in the 90s as a kid I remember the large glass bottles well being sold with plastic ones

Kids were still much better behaved in the 90s Do you ever go outside your house? There IS no parenting going on anymore.

yep come to a public school today and see how awful 75% of kids act today

Naw, there are all kinds of clues this wasn't the 60s. There were no 2 liter Coke bottles in the 1960s. Also six pack cans of soda were rare in the 60s. It would have been in cartons of glass bottles. Also labels on products would have had less colors in the 60s. The image on the bottles of Heinz BBQ sauce at 2:56 just wouldn't have been possible in the 60s. Then there are the fashions. In the 1960s many young females would have been wearing skirts, not just the old ladies.

It does look older

Don kid yourself it was packed with additives. 🇬🇧 👍

You can buy a VHS to DVD Recorder, or you can get software to do it on your computer. Be warned though. The process is tedious. I have had a VHS to DVD Recorder for almost 10 years and I have only converted a very few tapes. My plan has been to convert one VHS tape to DVD every day. But if I ever get around to it, it will still take me years to convert them all.
