MrSmmou812 I thought the same thing. Minimum wage 1972 was $1.65. 1968 cam new off the lot was 2800 starting package, let's nock that down to 1400 with depreciation, could be less or more. That's 848 hours of labor (before taxes) to buy in cash without financing. Today, buying the CHEAPEST CAR (hyundai accent) and that's not even in the same realm as a camarro or stang, it'd be a 7400 car or about 925 hours at $8 an hour. So....yeah, the kid in the video could have theoretically bought a car that cheap with a shit job at mcdonalds and was restoring it. But kid today couldn't get the same kind of car for anywhere close to that (and good luck repairing it, they aren't making cars for gear heads anymore).

[@pep590]

I worked at a McDonald's in high school and had to wear that exact type uniform. Wow. Wish we would have had the polo shirts like today.

[@brianstraight9308]

Yes, video, because someone trying to select and buy a car-part is exactly the same as someone being indecisive about what to buy at a restaurant that has sold the exact same things for 50 years. Sorry, I run into this a lot in my own job and sometimes it really is a question of, "How hard is to select something to eat?" Buying food isn't like buying some car-part. Buy the wrong food item? You have a slightly unpleasant experience. Buy the wrong car-part? You spend a good chunk of money for something that won't work for your needs and may potentially cost you more money.

[@linx4355]

carlos carrion they still do today.

[@watershed44]

Aug Steyr It was better quality back then. McD's back then was much more demanding of their stores and made sure standards were carefully followed!

[@gedaman]

Aug Steyr I bet the food tasted better. The French fries were probably cooked with animal fat and just lightly salted. The hamburgers probably were a higher standard too. I got an upset stomach after eating a Big Mac and basket of fries at McDonalds about three years ago. I wasn’t alive in the 1970s so I can only imagine what the quality was like back then.

[@chadodell4887]

You dont like soy?

[@roachaximus5899]

They still taste the same today in my opinion as they did in the 70s, the 60s still had the more natural cut fries though, but the burgers were always flat and flimsy at mcds

I remember those old style hats as a kid in the 1970s. In Binghamton, NY there was a McD with some old guy still wore one in the 1990s. It looked like he had been there that long and kept a bunch of them when the switched to baseball caps. For all I know he is still there wearing them.

it was actually fun....most of the counter crew could add up the customer's bill in their head and even calculate the sales tax while they were getting the food....then we'd go to the cash register and ring up the order, collect the money, and make the change.....people could actually do math back then

[@Linmyra]

problem is nowadays people be-little mc d's workers because it's a minimum wage job. I love working and causing a smile on my customer's face. I'm not doing my job because I love the fast food, but because it's a needed experience in order to find a job/career. I'll do my best to accommodate/ensure a pleasurable service but there are times where a customer will waltz in a rage over having no pickles on their burger or drive-thru is in a terrible wrap for hours on in and staff is shorthanded- yet employees are expected to wave a magic wand. I could be attentive as possible, and the order could still get incorrect, or I'll be a mere messenger, having no clue as to their order and get yelled at for not knowing that they asked for such and such sauce. There are plenty of people that make the job experience pleasant, then you get the ones you simply can't please and threat to get you fired over X Y and Z. I can't understand how folks on Minimum wage work with environment like this for years and almost their entire lives.
