Shots of the employees helping customers as quickly as they can during the afternoon hours.
Fun watch and listen as we simultaneously watch the employee make the food as the customers are ordering at the drive through in March of 1999.
This video last around 7 minutes or so.

Food tasted so much better for some reason. The appreciation was real!
Just like the sun in the sky wasnt white. I remember it being yellow. Not yellow any more
@@Learned_Duvel Cannot forget that moon.
The push to make the food healthier ruined a lot of the taste we remember. Beef fat was used a lot in frying stuff, but it had some trans fat and trans fat was the boogieman back then. Now instead of frying things in stuff that has a taste to it we fry in oils that have little taste.
For some reason? Look at the attention to detail that woman is giving those burgers!
@Learned_Duvel the sun ain't yellow for you 😮 sometimes it's red when there's a wild fire. It's yellow everyday in arizona
I wish we lived in these times still 🥺🥺
Me too
Why though?
once the culture is revived everything will fall into place. it can be beyond this but something's gotta give. the corporations got too greedy and cut corners. it's gonna take generational effort. and yes this is a clip of BK but i think you're talking about a larger subject. like back when things were kind of... good? yeah I miss it too.
@@paulgetty5405oh, are you building a time machine out of a Honda Civic? Wtf do you mean "we will again soon"? Is the world just gonna collectively pretend its 1989?
There's an illusion of time. You aren't even in this current moment. The reason you feel you are is because the brain captures the universe and slows it down in order to process. It is really instant. From a baby until now, it has been instant for you. Just like from now until death will be. So, you are wishing for something that never truly occurred.
Welcome to the twilight zone.😊
Man seeing a burger king busy is something i dont see anymore.
Then you're not working there
Their food was actually edible back then
I was thinking the same thing! The quality of ingredients were sacrificed in the name of profits. They aren't the only one... many fast food places were decent back then. Subway and Wendy's come to mind as well.
Still lots of microwaving going on.
@@WeSRT4 Pizza Hut and Taco Bell too!
People working in these places chose to be enslaved by them.
@@dms79 Yeah. Pizza Hut and Taco Bell changed MUCH more. Compared to McDonald's and Burger King for example. Which is slightly different, but not as dramatic.
OMG. It is so nice that both the employees and customer just trying to place their order. No fighting or killing and no miscommunication 🍔🙏
Daily prayers poured out of mercy make a big difference. But that is not what happened at Columbine High School.
Respect to these fast food workers getting paid minimum wage is rough and dealing with long hours and tough customers takes a toll I hope they all went on to better things 🥺
They did better back then with a better wage relative to inflation and cost of living!
You know the futures shit when the past is way better lol
Back then you could survive on minimum wage, that’s what minimum wage is supposed to be the minimum you need to live, it wasn’t a comfortable pay but you could still just get by, now a days it’s impossible to get by on minimum wage, and it really makes a lot of sense people don’t wanna work at places like this anymore because you’re lucky if your pay covers 2 weeks of groceries let alone rent or a mortgage
@@meghanmarie840Beauty and brains, Where do I sign up? Haha!
But for real, jokes aside, it really seems like even a dead end job back then was a dream compared to now.
Man I can't wait until Lord Jesus comes back!
It doesn't pay to complain but life could be so much better if the monetary system was not allowed to screw people over like this.
But none the less we all sit by and let it happen.
Wonder how it could change...
But oh well a positive attitude sure helps, You have a lovely Christmas mate and a happy new year!
May The Lord Be With You!
My God what a difference from today..the amount of love and compassion that lady gave those burgers..she's clearly a Boomer, actually she reminds me of my mom... I'm a Millenial..🙄✌
No such thing point blank blank period as boomer, millennial, genx. It is all just made up/picked start and end dates for marketing media 💯. The dates have been changed several times from when it was first put out in the media. Even today different places have different start and end dates. Such as Pew Research has different made up start and ends dates for the generations that are not the same as Harvard University's picked start and end dates for the different generations.
2023 everyone is so stressed out
I love this video. As a current bk employee myself, it's fascinating to see how this company has changed while also noticing things that we still do on a daily basis. I'm proud to work for Burger King.
Very cool
Worked at a BK from 2002 - 06 as a student and I can still remember how to make a few of the items on the menu. Good times.
Back when burger king was great.
1990's Burger King was the best.
Tell me about it. I have not been at BB after 2 years after tasting how terrible their burgers and drinks are 🤢
@@Gr8thxAlothell yeah I love going too Burger King back then…
Burger King was top notch back then, but it's still pretty good now
The hell with you people and your indifferent opinions! Get a life.
I want to go back to 1999
Yes especially when Bill clinton was president, the economy was on top of the world.
@@hectorlopez1069shit it was 4 years ago 😂
I want to go back to 1996
@@hectorlopez1069right. People can say what they want to say about him but he’s the greatest president of all time
@@hectorlopez1069 come on, people should know by now politicians have literally no effect on anything they control nothing
It seems like this was just not to long ago how time flies by I was 30 years old and life was so different back then
I mean things are pretty similar now vs 1999 compared to 1999 and 1975. Both 24 years.
See, I was 6 at the time. And can only remember bits of pieces of this year. I remember seeing a lot of Y2K related things in the media. It seems like forever ago to me, unlike you. Very interesting
@@larryistall
Now they're daily obsessing over politics.
Wow that cheeseburger was only $3 back then! Now it's $8
If you work at a farm, it's almost free.
@@moeermotz9564 Insane. I remember when you could get two Whoppers, fries, and drinks for only $9. Now today that costs you $14
I worked at Dairy Queen during this era. The monitor displaying our orders was exactly the same! 🥰
I think fast food workers are underappreciated and do not get the respect they deserve. It is some of the hardest work out there and some people think the job is a joke and it's anything but that. It's high stress and making sure you make good food for people.
The day even a single fast food worker gets a single order right is the day I’ll respect these whiny egocentric brats
@@scotch1993 you dont eat fast food very offen do you? I dont really, maybe twice a month, but I've never had more order wrong even once. Anywhere. Ever. Haha
And they want $15 an hour with constant mistakes.
And if you do something wrong, customers threaten the lives of workers and we're supposed to believe the customer is "always right" (so many videos of customers being animals). Gone are the days of respect for the workers and therefore the job.
I worked there for many years and even the year this video was made. it was a very hard job but people were different then, and people put pride in their job. I used to run that kitchen most days at night alone, it was a very tough job, but very fond memories. Thank you for posting.
We need more older people like the woman working here with attention to detail and care unlike a lot of kids that work in places now with the opposite behavior.
I agree, and yet if a person isn't compensated enough to support themselves and view the job as disposable then why should they care about the quality of their work? 🤷♂️
i mean, it’s not like the high school kids working minimum wage have anything to do with the corporate level decisions that gave bk their bad reputation, overall the quality of the ingredients they’re working with is horrible. not that they were particularly high quality back then either, but i can tell the difference in quality even from when i was a kid in the early 2000s. it all tastes like garbage. there are plenty of old women working at my local bk, it still sucks. and as mkeolver said, why care about quality at a job that doesn’t even pay you a sustainable wage? corporate businesses don’t seem to give a damn, so why should the minimum wage workers
@@mkeolverlol yeah, this woman could probably afford a whole 1 brdm apt to herself, living the dream.
@@mkeolver the job is low-skill, and pays accordingly. It is not intended for anyone to support themselves on. Care comes from your work ethic, which should be applied equally regardless of your level of compensation. That's one of the reasons these jobs are being replaced by kiosks, and soon, robots.
@@lShishkaBerryl I remember back in 1999 where I lived a one bedroom apartment could be found for around $600 a month with this job typically having paid around $6.75 an hour which works out to a little over a thousand dollars a month working forty hours a week, before taxation.
Bring back the days!
Maybe the peoples in the world will try to realize what they do nowadays is bad
We are in the good old now. Think about it.
@@Etaoinshrdlu69 covid and pandemic gone I know
In the 80 s 90 s early 2000 . Fast food restaurants were a blast to visit and dine
I was a senior in high school and times were so much different. I’d kill to go back.
What I wouldn’t do to have a Time Machine and live out the rest of my life in the 80’s and 90’s.
LOL, we used to have this debate: "If you could go back in time, would you go spend time with a now deceased family member? Go warn somebody about 9/11?" The response "No, man, I'd give anything to relive going to see Jurassic Park in theaters or the feeling of watching Ninja Turtles on Saturday mornings!" The whole "Time Travel with an objective" vs "Time Travel as an experience".
wow you can tell they all worked hard there, and they still do... but the taste aint the same. i wanna go back. great video. i hope all the people that worked there are doing good and are healthy. I will pray they are. Beautiful moment in time.
Around this time my go to was the mighty kids meal lol and who can forget those rugrats watches?😂
Man I wish I still had mine
Thank god for who ever made
These videos. I true time
Machine we can reflect back on
Back when people wanted to work. It’s 2023 and there are help wanted signs everywhere.
Compared to 80's and early 90's, 1996 was the modern hip times.
1999 was the end of all that, going into the 2000's was boring and kind of ''' ok here we go, change again :/ ''' feeling.
Best was mid 80's to mid 90's.
Best was mid 60s to late 80s 🥴
@@georgehenderson7783 Sure thing. But personally there's too many 'segmental differences' (lol) in that time frame.
Mid 60's to around 72, I'd considered uniform,
distinct from 73 to 79,
and 80 to 89 another different world.
Surely it's a personal thing, not disarguing. : ))
....anyways, 99 was very 'sterile' compared to what existed before, and the coming of 2000's was ''get me a bucket, everything is about technology, people are distancing from one and other, where is the fun! '''
: )
I once heard somebody got busy in a Burger King bathroom.
They were doing the whopper, huh? Meaty!
danny brown?
I did not realize that fast food restaurants used Expo Screens back in ‘99. I work for one of the top 5 largest Burger King franchisees as a System Administrator; and while all of our locations obviously use kitchen screens now, a lot of them were still relying on the “ticket” system as recently as 10 years ago. That is crazy considering they had the technology to use screens in the 90s!

Flame grilled then microwaved to perfection.
Those were for the cheese and onion melts in this video
When good people took some pride in their work.
Ahh, the good ol days. Not a soy whopper in sight.
I absolutely love that classic old Burger King logo!
They should have crowned that lady 'Burger Queen' ❤️
🤣🤣🤣
Back in the good old days.
That was my BK era lol.
I worked there 1989-1990.
I can still feel the dread.
😂
I worked there in the Fall of 1999.
Look how fresh the tomatoes and lettuce is.
Cool I worked at one in 1991 cool. Oh wow I remember those green screens was hoping it would be recorded. Damn brings back memories.
Anyone else hear the woman ask for "real milk" in her coffee? Lmao I didn't know BK had fake milk.
She might have been thinking of a "real" alternative to Coffeemate, which isn't milk.
man i hated that job, especially cleaning that tile floor when we closed.
@@paulgetty5405 lmao
I remember the late 90s well I would of been 7 when this was filmed good times
1999...the last of my #GoodOldDays. I can't say whether that was true for everyone. But, it was true for me, at least, hence why I said it was the last of *MY* Good Old Days.
back when the food was good and people actually appreciated their jobs!
My mom always takes me to Burger King for breakfast and dinner. Good times!
like every day??? thats called an eating disorder

I did this during this time and I don't miss it.
All aboard the nostalgic memories train, next stop way we were there😁
Man door hand hook car door
Kitchens without windows are depressing. It looks very hot in there.
1999...the last of my #GoodOldDays. I can't say whether that was true for everyone, but it certainly was true for me, at least, hence why I said it was the last of *MY* Good Old Days.
do they really microwave the burgers in the US?
i remember microwaving them to melt the cheese
I think just Burger King.
Yeah
@@franksflytrapshey got called out on it by a Jack in the Box commercial.
I liked Burger King back then. Maybe because I was 7 and didn’t know any better.
Im 36 years old and i would never forget the Taste of the Rodeo Burgers as a kid🤤🤤 and back then they actually grilled their burgers
Back before they stood in your food.
i find it weird that i was 2 years old during this time because this seems like ages ago..... things have changed so much in 20 years
Back when their technology was so much different.
i love how they wrap those burgers
1999, age 27. Wendy's and McDonald's were my normal lunch. But I returned to Burger King in the 2000s. Great double cheeseburgers!
That was 25 years ago
1999-2024
i remembere working at Wendys flipping burgers for a couple months back in 1999.
im curious on how your channel obtain a vast library of digital archives throughout the decades, they're very valuable and rare.
i would like to see if you have more archival footage of south florida in the 80s-90s, i'd love to see it
Back when you could actually afford a house and new car on a Burger King check😂😂
Yeah...no. Not even close.
@@dukey19941 Just depends on the franchisee owners. Though most probably not that close although with less population the housing was cheaper however the cars lasted less and "rolled over" at a 100,000 miles.
This man is a time traveler, don't get it twisted
Are they microwaving burgers?
I feel exhausted just watching this. Screw these jobs.
Burger King burgers are so good and they looked even better back then
I worked the burger boards at BK in '96. This is taking me baaaaaaaaack
On that first burger why did she put the cheese on last? You put cheese directly on the pattie!!
Only at home from what I remember. That's how Dad grilled.
Menu boards were the best those years
The year I was born… wish I was born way earlier to live in the 80’s! 😫
I was in my teens and then early twenties in the 1980's and it was a great time to be alive! Fantastic music, school was fun, life was so much happier!
They're wearing gloves!
🤣🤣🤣
The fact that the comments are these comments…
This must be the same Burger King that the very friendly drive thru employee has been in the last couple of videos from you.
When will selfies stop?
What happened to that time in the world? I was born in 92 and remember 99 vividly. What a night & day difference from then and now. I believe it's been getting worse since the start of the 2009 recession
Bring back the Waler!!!
@vampirerobot do you have any more footage of the palisades mall from long ago? Inparticularly the nickelodeon store?
Estamos en 2024 y estoy trabajando en un Burger King y soy pésimo,aun no puedo creer que no me despidan todavía😂
Nobody can say this was better stuff, they are microwaving patties in this video. Frozen patties are never going to be the greatest but atleast we are grilling them.
Hold the pickle, hold the lettuce, special orders don't upset us.
I used to work at booger fling. Garbage.
😋
I turned 1 years old this year
I wonder where those whoppers are today.
Being re-eaten by alligators in the sewer 🤣💩🐊
99 cents whoppers were the best
I watch these hoping it's going to show me at 15 working at BK 😂
Back when the whopper tasted like a whopper. I used to go to BK at least once a week back then. Now I haven't been in about 10 years.
Employees actually took their jobs seriously back then
Listen to how rude those customers are. No “please” or “thank you”. Gross.
I was born in 1999
I can’t imagine being out in the public 15 -20 years ago and having someone filming me when I’m eating in a restaurant or working in a restaurant. Did these people not say… Don’t film me, if you film me I will sue you etc.?
Thought the same. Back then, it wasn't a big deal because not everyone could afford cameras. Nowadays, since everyone has a camera in their pocket, anyone can record you and it's definitely become a big privacy concern. Every time something gains popularity the thing sought for goes downhill.
$3.97 out of a jackson
Burger King is my favorite burger restaurant because I love the whopper patties that are cooked on the grill. I love the round squeezy "mustard and ketchup" bottles from the past and present. I occasionally go to the drive-thru and order a double whopper meal. At my home, I squeeze mustard and ketchup on my plain double whopper with cheese by forming stripes. I squeeze mustard and ketchup on my fries. Besides my foods, I enjoy my Dr. Pepper. 🍔🍟
REAL MILK
Do you have one of these vids from a Taco Bell back then?
In the 90 s early 2000 s i was a burger king fan more than mcdonalds
what day in march 1999?
I was in kindergarten in 1999
Where are those burgers?
So they’re not flame broiled
I still remember the .99 whopper.
