Last minute Christmas shopping at Walgreens in 1993

Uh oh, these last minute shoppers are in a bit of a crunch with just select items on the shelf left like "Demolition Man" action figures.
I wonder why they didn't sell that well?
... 🤔
Perhaps Barney can save the day for some children!
This video last around 6 minutes.

When you catch mom shopping at Walgreens for Christmas, you know it's gonna be one of those _lesser_ Christmases

[@vampirerobot]

😂😂😂

[@kingxerxes3139]

Christmas is never less. The loving you get of your parents is more worth then anything.

[@PJ-sv4iw]

@@kingxerxes3139 uh huh, sure. Now give me a Sega genesis

[@LyricMelodySong]

Christmas is about giving and celebrating the ultimate gift - Jesus, it's not about receiving so if one puts thought into it for another, doesn't matter where its from! The love and thoughtfulness is there.

[@flutebasket4294]

[@RobbieP2Vlogs]

This is definitely from back when Walgreens had staff behind the photo counter.

[@christiangonzales7429]

every Walgreens I've been to has staff there, but you have to stand around and wait for a while. They even have a push for help button.

[@mrath]

Of course that was when getting actual film developed was still a thing. Nowadays most people store their pictures on their camera or phone.

[@ALegitPooperVideos]

The video quality is very good for 1993

[@cameron8529]

it looks pretty average for 1993. they just took care of the VHS.

[@AquariusBeam]

Awww, my son was 9 months old and loved Barney. He's an AEMT/firefighter now lol.

[@brittlia_]

Walgreens nowadays isn’t this busy and normally only has 1 person at the cash register 😂

[@mermaidlu5125]

Even better in and out quicker lol

[@musicguy713]

I worked at Walgreens 10 years ago, around the holidays it pretty crazy. However not like this

[@kheartslasher1754]

I haven’t seen a Walgreens In years lol

[@LINJ638]

Online Shopping has destroyed in-person experience.

[@chellastation]

I kind of feel bad for the 1 person at the cashier. CVS tends to balance employee availability and self-check out.

[@pixeltablet]

this was Walgreens at its peak

[@NathanOakes]

I'm thinking Vampire robot is a time traveler....

[@lorna1000s]

so sad to see older people in the video may and think they may not be alive right now :(

[@ToeTag9899]

The early 90's how I miss you so much from the music to being a kid and watching TGIF playing SNES going to the movies felt like a big deal. Everything was just better and it's not even close nothing is perfect in life or ever will be but the 90's in general felt as close to perfect as it could get at least for me.

[@productive23]

Absolutely love these kinda videos

[@Mrspiderwalk]

Barney, the Barbie, Kodak and the hair dye box really brought a wave of nostalgia.

[@stevengallant6363]

The year I graduated high school. God do I want to go back.

[@Empresslockness]

I was a senior in hgh school at this time. Class of 94!

[@PkmnTCG615]

Wow once upon a time you could actually buy Christmas gifts at Walgreens. Also those Barney toys gave me such nostalgia. Love seeing these vids

[@vampirerobot]

That's awesome! You still can...I was there the other night shopping for Christmas gifts lol...so these comments are rather humorous to me. Flute's comment here is spot on though 🤣

[@christiangonzales7429]

Walgreens was the best place to go to buy Christmas decorations and candy back then!

[@Lgalitz]

My sis my best friend had just died young of cancer. We were struggling to find the joy and did last minute shopping at Walgreens down the road. It saved us. Walgreens now is only a shadow of what it used to be. :(

[@brianmeen2158]

Good stuff. These days people don’t really shop at Walgreens - they just walk in and grab what they want and walk out the door 😂😂

[@oldradiosnphonographs]

Never was a Barney kid. I was a Nick jr kid!

[@camstone5001]

The cashiers had to WORK it back then. That damn cash drawer probably caused carpel tunnel.

[@ne2448]

The old worn out laminate checkout counters are still in existence to this day.

[@craigc1879]

Walgreens now has a sale, but I can only get the same price If I buy it online. So I ask once, so I go to the car, order the items I need in the app, wait 15 minutes, then come and get it. Bit ridiculous, for some reason they’d rather you buy online and not shop in the store.

[@snotloutisagod2956]

Oh the melodic sounds of the IBM 4683 Model 2 printers printing!

[@KL-tz3cm]

Can you tell us how you have so many videos of the good ol days? Love the videos btw going back in time helps my heart!

[@BudFuddlacker]

It’s called news footage B Roll

[@AurumUsagi]

IBM 4683s galore! And with their original Model 2s as well.

Takes me back to my childhood, going to the Walgreens in Sharpstown Mall in Houston!!

A scientific calculator…perfect for the one you love.

[@craigc1879]

That’s handheld scanner works better than todays.

[@brittlia_]

I love your channel! These videos have me wondering if the people were ever creeped out by the camera 😂😂😂

[@vampirerobot]

Thanks Brittlia that makes me happy 😀

[@AuntJemimaPancakes]

In the 80s and 90s we weren't creeped out by everything like today. As matter of fact, the folks being video taped probably thought it was for a research project or news channel and didn't go full Megladon Karen on him.

[@MarkMeadows90]

Christmas shopping at Walgreens? Now, that definitely is a last minute kinda option lol

[@vampirerobot]

Right? lol

[@islandbee]

Better than 7Eleven. That's where Alex P Keaton shopped at for Xmas on the show Family Ties.

[@MLaker221]

Those heavy duty batteries... that was the thing that took me back. Lol

[@jolenegoodwin-oh7lg]

I don't think I ever saw Walgreens this busy!

[@Spiral.Dynamics]

Look at the happy holidays shirt lol That must have been when the war on Christmas started!

[@LaughandGrowandLive]

Ooooh Barney! Oh How I miss the 90s 😢😊 I was literally a month old in December 93 lmao

[@courtneycook7910]

I used to have that same talking Barney when I was little. I was born exactly 12 months after this!

[@salvambala7779]

I love this channel cuz as random as it is, it is very nostalgic. Can you post more movie premiere videos

[@aaronesq]

Where I live today, we have to ask to buy cigarettes (although I don't smoke). It is a great thing now to keep the wrong people from accessing stuff like that! I'd wish we'd go back to simpler times like these!

[@MeadeFatLoss]

Christmas 1993, I was 14.

[@trouble9939]

Days when people had respect for oneself and others. How I miss the good old days!

[@mistressmochi2195]

I had one of those Barney dolls. I would have been almost 2 months old when this was filmed. Barney was the best.

[@hectorlopez1069]

I was 7 in 93, barney dolls kids would want to get and tell their parents to buy it for them.

[@americaelibertas2453]

I love nobody has been perturbed by the fact they are being videotaped. Can you imagine what would happen if someone tried to do that today?

[@ville666sora]

Because it's b roll news footage, not some random a-hole filming you for no reason lol

Thank you Melissa 🙂

[@lavenderflowersfall280]

Okay nowwww I feel more connected with these videos. My clearer memories of the 90s begin in 96 around 6 or 7. All of this from Barney to Barbie in a sort of packaging and technology we have isn't as alien to me as say the 70's or 80's.

[@ChadH2023]

Last minute Christmas shopping at Walgreens sounds like the worst possible idea.

[@irismey]

Our walgreens closed on our street rest in peace 🙏

[@hectorlopez1069]

Barney the purple dinosaur we watched on TV in the 90s. I like that i love you, you love me song. Sweet 90s kids thing.

[@ColorMeHoppy]

Any 93 babies here?!

[@JoseTwitterFan]

It was the '93 holiday shopping season, and Barney was taking toy aisles all across the country by storm.

[@vikkbiff6029]

Oh now I remember the talking Santa face I once had!!

[@vampirerobot]

😂😂😂

[@cynant2912]

Walgreens had everything at that time. Cheap electronics, small kitchen appliances, home accents. Now they don't have sh!t.

[@terrandavis4062]

Lol, I was 6½ when this video was made.

[@Myplaylists93]

I like how that lady didn't care that she child was shoeless until she noticed the camera was watching.

[@BudFuddlacker]

That guy wanted a bag for his Scotch tape 😂

[@johndavis_]

I bought all my gifts at Walgreens in the 80's

[@d_hurl]

I was just a lil keed in 93, but I remember some of this junk- probably was still floating around Walgreens for years to come. This reminds me of something I still to this day never got used to; Our newer Monopoly style money- 5, 10s & 20s. The old bills had a certain legitimacy to them. The newer one's just suck.

[@nowyouredoingthesponge4644]

I remember everyone hating Barney as a kid lol. We all acted like he was stupid...our music teaxher made us do the Barney song in 1st grade

[@Mayrita1111]

Walgreens was my to go store for last minute shopping for Christmas gifts for gift exchange at school lol before we went on winter break

[@MrWolfSnack]

3:31 holy shit its those crappy public domain cartoons VHS tapes! Never seen what they looked like in the store before

[@janetduncan87]

Those stuffed Barney toys. Lol My son loved Barney. We the barney bedding for him, and the barney doll. I was also pregnant with my 5th child in 1993. I barely remember the 90s. It zipped by.

[@MasterYoshidino]

I miss actually feeling good shopping at a pharmacy. As a kid I would buy higher end stationary (this was before Y2K) but now it's just using up my freebie virtual currency by working at one. lol.

[@DavePedrosuiza]

Alot things stand out in this video first: I have been working retail for the past 20 years never once have I seen a walgreens this pack. secondly I'm amazed about how much stuff walgreens sold in the past you pretty much buy anything there, last 5 years I remeber walgreens sold cigarettes they pretty much removed them all, thirdly video quality on this tape is pretty good clear picture watching on a 4k looks pretty good.

I have no problem with Walgreens but it seems like an odd place to do Christmas shopping. Maybe in the 70s or 80s before the big "all-in-one" stores, sure, but in the 90s and onward? Just feels like a strange choice.

[@vampirerobot]

Strange? How about terrible! lol. jk...I did some of my Christmas shopping there last year. Probably will do the same this year.

[@MiketheratguyMultimedia]

@@vampirerobot You Walgreens weirdo. Actually yeah, nah, I've definitely found some cool stuff there before. I guess I just never thought of going there for Christmas, unless for cold medicine or something, lol. Oh by the way, when you said you owe me an email did you mean that I should send my email address? Because I didn't get a response when I wrote you the one time and didn't know what to do now. XD

I just have to respond Mike. It's been eating at me for awhile now.

Why is it that americans don't use recharable batteries. A question I am asking myselfe for years. Batteries included.... oh yeah wow how long do they last? 3 hours and then you walk to the store to bye another pair for 3 hours...I don't get it It feels like recharchable batteries weren't available in the us 😂 or they are too lazy to recharche them....or am I completly wrong? By the way it feels so good seeing those faces from my teenager years. People where more interactive with each other. That was life. Not watching at your phone all the time.

[@silentsir2446]

The reason ppl can watch their phone all the time to begin with is because rechargable phone batteries allows them to have 24/7 stimulation/interaction thru technology 😐
