I was 6 months old when this was filmed 😜 I just turned 43. Over the last year or so, I’ve had this odd longing to go back in time. Things are so generic, impersonal, unsatisfying these days - maybe I’m a dreamer, I dunno. I think things now just suck. These videos catapult me for 10 minutes to a time when cell phones and social media didn’t exist. Aging sucks - but that’s not why I want to go back. I’d take being 43 in 1980 over 2023 any day. Thanks for sharing these moments in history. By the way - I grew up here in Los Gatos, CA and remember shopping at Safeway as a kid. The clanging of the big metal carts, the chime on the loudspeaker, it all came rushing back! 😊

@@Cfchild1I know this is old comment but, Yes, and ever since Albertsons bought Safeway, it went bad to worse. I remember a Safeway worker told me he got paid $10/hour, and later his wage increased to $20/hour in *1 year,* but this was back in the early 1990s before it became monopolize in 2008 since Albertsons bought it. Right now Safeway is a $hitty company that pays you in pennies, and they only give you 20 hours to 24 hours a week, and you have to wait 10 years to get a sinority status to get those 40 hours a week you wanted, and so as the time schedules with better benefits. Let's be realistic here, we don't have 10 years, and the only people that gets to have full time shifts are the managers, and team leadership. Favoritism plays a huge role on the company, and now more, and more new workers are leaving because they aren't given the 40 hours a week as they promised with little pay, especially the checkers. That is why tell people to stay away from applying Safeway, and never trust the managers in Safeway, they are nothing more that cold hearted, and pathological liars.

She was slow not because of her age because my mother said when she was a kid and went to the movies they were always late. You went with her Grocery shopping she could spend two hours easy in the store. She passed away about when this was made 1988. I miss the 1960s to the 1980s.

As a kid in the ‘80s, I remember eating a lot of junk food, yet I was still scrawny. I think the difference today is that people don’t get nearly as much exercise as they used to. I remember walking all over the neighborhood with my friends, riding bikes, running around in the back yard….Video games were very rudimentary (I never played them) and we had only a few TV channels, so we were forced to entertain ourselves in more physically active ways. And of course there was no Amazon delivery or even restaurant delivery-I remember it was a big deal when Pizza Hut started delivering, which I think was sometime in the ‘90s. If you wanted to buy a product or food, you had to actually go out and get it.

The reason people could eat bread and sugar in the 40s through early 80s and not become obese or diabetic was because it was NATURAL CANE SUGAR, not the chemical crack they use in everything today known as High Fructose Corn Syrup (HCFS). In addition, the bread back then was healthy NON GENETICALLY MODIFIED GRAINS, NOT SATURATED IN MONSANTOS ROUND UP and they added healthy, metabolism boosting IODINE to the bread back then as well. Today, these evil bastards who are pawns of satan add BROMINE instead of iodine to the mass produced bread products. This "bromine" is the main component in TERMITE POISON!!!

This is indeed the “social Safeway” on Wisconsin Ave. in Georgetown DC. It’s an affluent neighborhood so people might be somewhat better dressed here. The store here was brand new at the time, having opened in May 1980. I remember my uncle talking about the controversy over the new store which was replacing a 1950s Safeway on the same spot because the locals objected to the large parking lot out front, whereas the old store was directly on the sidewalk. He said (snooty) Georgetownians thought cars were ugly and wanted the car park put in back. Ironically this store was demolished in 2009 and replaced by a new Safeway which is once again located on the sidewalk, this time with a parking garage for the ugly cars.

That would have put me at 16 1/2, and just about to finish my sophomore year in high school in North Texas. Safeway was still a very prominent grocery chain in our market then.

No one paid any close attention to the rampant predatory practices of corporations selling products to kids. People interacted for sure, but that's nothing special.

As another mentioned, much of the checkout process hasn't changed other than the addition of self-checkout. And less staff. Back then, it was common for two workers on each lane. One ringing and one bagging. And around that time started the question of Paper or Plastic. Now some stores have switched back to paper while others eliminating bags entirely.

It is so surreal to see unscripted footage of an average day in a grocery store in 1980. The interior feels so natural and calm compared to modern stores. People properly dressed is a rarity in my area.

I worked at Safeway 1972-1992 this brought back some fond memories. Good company to work for back then . It was a good job ,I was fortunate to buy my first home at 19 years old they paid well back then . Now I’m getting my union retirement it’s too bad how things are so messed up now. When Albertsons bought them out it’s not the same.

Paper sacks not plastic bags. I didn't see a pop bottle return area. They were being fazed out about that time. A sacking job was a well paying job at some markets. Around 86' I worked one autumn slicing hams and pricing turkeys. Most enjoyable job I ever had. Fresh donuts every day and many options for lunch.

But lots of floppy sandals, skimpy sundresses, mini-skirts and see-through blouses. I grew up in the 1980s and saw those myself. Fun as the 1980s were, that era was not idyllic or perfect and people were not perfect back then either.

My favorite memory of Safeway circa 1980 is when my bff and I would spend hours and many quarters playing the newly installed Pac-Man machine in the store. Pac-Man had just hit the scene and It was a revelation. The greatest video game of all time. Instantly addicting.

Back when I was a little child, I remember my Mom shopping at a Riverside supermarket that use to be in our area as she took us kids along with her. This video looks very much like back then in those days. The large brown paper bags here that were always used before plastic bags became common bring back the memories of childhood as well. I love how the Safeway logo is proudly displayed on the front of the shopping carts to.

@@vampirerobot Inflation adjusted, the price of eggs in this example in video of .74 were only about 25% cheaper than today. Yes 25% is significant, but not in multiples in actual buying power of today vs 1980. I think I saw a dozen eggs for about $4 recently in Wal Mart. $4 today and inflation adjusted would have a buying power of $1.09 in 1980.

I remember those Toledo scale displays! OMG. It was interesting seeing people at the checkouts scanning groceries in 1980. Where I live, in CO, I don't remember seeing that until the mid-80s. Before that, grocery checkouts were still using either electromechanical, or electronic cash registers (no scanners). They had to punch in everything.
