1986 Hardee's Restaurant Training Video - 3/3

At this Hardee's establishment, NOTHING can go wrong!!
How many hamburgers were harmed again?

Feb 2023 and I've been binging on 80s/90s training videos. Dont know why they bring me such joy

[@yourpersonalsupernova3493]

I was very young in 1986 but I seem to recall cashiers in fast food joints giving the impression they wanted to shove your face into the deep fryer.

[@Cocytus127]

9:24 1986: Never address the drivethru customer as sir or m'am. You may be wrong. 2021: Never address any customer as sir or m'am. You may be wrong.

[@corvus2327]

They were WAAAAAAAY ahead of the curve.

[@markleneker9923]

By far the most important takeaway from this video is "Try to show concern without admitting fault."

[@saxongreen78]

'Aaaargh! You scalded me with the drip filter jug...what gives?!' 'Oh dear...that must be uncomfortable for you. More coffee?'

"Don't refer to the customer as sir or ma'am... you may get it wrong." This video is WAY ahead of it's time in more ways than one! If they ooonly knew.

[@sydtrolls]

They think a child can't carry .73 and requires a bag to hold it? Sure some kids wore sweatpants, but that kid clearly had pockets. Also apparently my life isn't as good as I thought, since I am concerned about a child in 1986 receiving change in a bag.

[@calamaty9963]

[@johnnyhotcakes5217]

[@straightpipediesel]

The kid jumps around or he doesn't put it in all the way, some change falls out, then the parents think the cashier stiffed them. It's called covering their ass.

“Children are very important for Hardee’s. Many times _they_ decide where the family will eat. That’s important because we feed their lean, tender meat into our grinder out back. That’s the secret to our succulent hamburgers and-uh... I’ve said too much. Let me, uh, give you a couple of free coupons. They’re just out back.”

[@dmendiol]

I worked at HARDEE'S during my college years in the mid 1990s. I was never shown any training videos. I wonder if by then they just eliminated them. It was part time and I all did was cook the fries n chicken 🐔 🍟 n wash dishes. Guess I didn't need to see training video. The uniforms were much better than whats in the video. Lol. Thanks for posting video.

Question...Is this what was High School like with a boring math/history teacher in the 80s 🤔 ...cause if so I would fall asleep or pull a Ferris Bueller on purpose just to get into another class that teaches the same thing cause he’s just too not my style. This is 1986, it was way more lively than this when it came to jobs at the mall or Wendy’s, Pizza Hut from what i heard. He’s stuck in the 70s!.
