Going back in time: 10 minute video inside a 1980s McDonalds

Things that jumped out immediately
1. Everyone was in better shape vs today. A lot better.
2. People dressing very decent in public.
3. A lot of smiling and people taking their time.
4. Workers don't look rushed, frustrated, or stressed eventhough they are busy.
5. More social interactions between workers and customers and people eating (no one glued to iPhone).
6. paying with good old cash.
7. simplicity of the menu.
8. welcoming eating environment.
9. only bad thing was a smoker but that's a small price to pay.
It's like a microcosm or reflection of a functional and happy society.

No way people smoking in a different era.
Heck when I watch old news Clips of the Kennedy assassination, the reporters were smoking on TV.

I remember when you could smoke on airplanes and hospitals. If I'm remembering right the hospitals didn't stop it until somewhere in the 80's in my area

I worked at one during high school. Owner-operated, good employees, good environment. Taught proper customer service, and customers back then weren’t entitled fat welfare goblins. The “food” was better, too. Haven’t been to a McDs in years.

Back when America had more mobility and was still rooted in a values-based society that people shared.
Now it's "my truth, your truth, their truth" etc.

In high school, we used to burn heaters in McDonalds all the time in the early/mid 90s. They had the little foil ashtrays.
