Christmas Shopping at Walmart in 2006

[@brucebaird-]

There’s a hint of nostalgia with the looks and sounds of those cash registers

[@MarkMeadows90]

This style of Walmart hasn't changed much. Most Walmarts went through a remodeling/renewing stage in 2008-2009 when the logo changed over and the rollback smiley was gotten rid of. I miss the smiley. Wish they would bring it back.

[@christiangonzales7429]

To me, this looks exactly the same as a present-day Walmart. Only the logo and signage are different.

[@kennyfrommar]

Your area must not have been completely remodeled yet then. Mine is totally different and a much worse shopping experience. One thing I really don't like is the short shelves they have now... doesn't feel as comfortable browsing anymore and everything is white/grey and boring.@@christiangonzales7429

[@brensdaman926]

It wasn't all that long ago. The 90's/early 2000's Wal-Mart was much better

[@Trentonpage]

I remember when walmarts looked like this.

[@NandyF50]

OMG!!! I was an assistant in that store. Riverdale NJ on RT23… Remember a lot of the employees on the video and will definitely share it with them.

[@kirbytooie64]

Fun fact: *Cars movie is playing on the store, you can hear it in the background*

[@mirandacosgrove4377]

I KNOW WHICH I HATE THAT MOVIE

[@luisdiego3764]

​@@mirandacosgrove4377 That movie is the best Disney/Pixar movie of all time, what the hell are you talking about?

[@ey3z4ya]

​@@mirandacosgrove4377then you probably weren't a kid when it came out lol

[@Bond007er]

No toy story is better than cars

[@SlapStyleAnims]

Lol yep

[@MikeyKrafty]

This dude is ALL UP in everyone's business with the camera....but no one ever seems to care 😂

[@h3cz_]

He worked for the news. Camera crew & equipment.

[@brucebaird-]

I wish they’d bring back smiley 🙂

[@mikaelaburrell1655]

They really should bring it back even though I don’t remember the smiley face that much

[@McQueenStan]

Did they actually play the full Cars movie in a WALMART? I never seen them done THAT before. They usually just play clips of a movie on a television screen used for display.

[@h3cz_]

Relax McQueen

I’m not Lightning :/

[@McQueenStan]

Like dude it’s not funny IM NOT MCQUEEN HIMSELF 😐

[@Ij-jan]

They were actually items on the shelves back then!

[@WolfenEXE]

Back then when people didn't care if you were recording them.

[@MarkMeadows90]

Most of the time the camera crew will ask the shoppers if they want to be on camera. Mostly for news footage. The footage is usually silent when shown on the news. Just bits and pieces make it to the news.

[@Gravewurmz]

Back then but not much has changed tbh it would be compared to 1985 to 2001 so much change from that time but 2006 to 2023 not much

[@brensdaman926]

I noticed this too. The 90's/early 2000's Wal-Mart was much different and better at that

[@jesusluver2878]

They even have uniforms Kakie pants and blue polos; today they don’t even care look trashy 😂

[@hubertparks-bx9gj]

Yep its different now

[@xpensfanatic2009]

Maybe it's because I was old enough in 2006 to remember it well, but 2006 doesn't seem to look or feel that different to today in a lot of ways as comparing the late 80s to 2006 would.

[@thebestplayerdead956]

Yo! THATS trippy when you put it that way. Holy crap time is flying! And I’m still not rich😢

[@madizzle90]

It’s really not that much different. Some people treat it as if it was 50 years ago.

[@jasminepena2974]

Back when there were only cashiers and not self-serve checkouts

[@dannymze1880]

1:08 "it's like a playstation thing where you plug it in" lol

[@andrewvanhalen1984]

This really doesn't feel like it was that long ago.

[@DaRealRoachDoggJr]

Before the Great Recession.

[@Royale..winx..club9]

crazy cause all the kids in this video are young adults lol

[@bpcruiser]

I know one thing Id never do then or now. Spend $250 on a vaccum cleaner.

[@thegamingchef3304]

Haha right. I struggled paying 40 for the one I have.

[@brensdaman926]

Same. Yet there's idiots today that pay 100k for a car... that was rare back then. Everyone today has this mindless obsession with modernity like it better somehow..

[@brensdaman926]

@ 12:23 when she said, Have a good holiday," still sounds like today. Not much has changed. The 90's/early 2000's Wal-Mart is much different and better

[@CartoonPhreak]

My parents are going Christmas shopping this December. They might possibly go for some Barbie dolls, accessories and play sets. I like Barbie most of the time.

[@DieHardNintendoFan]

16 years ago this past holiday season Walmart always has a new revolution every holiday season with there store

[@LMTF35]

Good year

[@user-yx5yf8fv7g]

Man i was 3 yrs old in 2006 now im 20 wow time flies

[@roboticsandwich8139]

Last really good year in my opinion

[@edgarJM903]

When self check out service

[@mattmgarza]

What is this type of footage called? It just shows mundane stuff from years ago and no one seems to notice the camera. Is this what they call "b-roll"?

[@vampirerobot]

Yes, it is b roll

[@your.turkishdelight8076]

Do you have any recordings from 2002-2006 KB toys or Toysarus?:)

[@vampirerobot]

If I do I will definitely post them.

[@sears1211]

[@polaris3078]

Why dose it look like the 90s

[@kathleendickens5428]

90s and early 2000s blended for some reason

[@1marcelfilms]

Every decade just gets worse than the last. Soon we will look at 2020 and think it was a good old days.
