Worked there from 2013 to 2014 and indeed when I hear those blenders, I get instant PSTD. All the people ordering Frappuccinos with 10 different things inside then saying it tastes gross. Well, you shouldn’t have put caramel with raspberry.
Looks pretty much the same layout as it is today. I am still intrigued by the flat(?) touchscreen monitor they get to use. The first time I have seen a flat touchscreen monitor was in the early 2000s. Lot of people I've seen used CRT touchscreens back then. Maybe that's just me, or I haven't been paying attention.
I got the chance to buy an ELO touch CRT from ebay a few years not so long back, it worked very smoothly, it was almost like a high end touch display that worked like a lot of the modern touch devices. I don't have it any more unfortunately.
Those kids in the thumbnail are the epotime of the 90s..Kurt Cobain shirt and a flannel shirt. Makes me so nostalgic as I was one of them. I was 15/16 in 1996.
Ah, back in the day when Starbucks was a little rarer of a thing. I miss how much more cozy it felt then. They used to have big leather or upholstered armchairs and sometimes couches, with warm lighting. I get that things like that wear out faster and need to be replaced, but isn’t it still worth doing? Starbucks also used to sell other interesting stuff like brewing equipment. I still have a Starbucks “Barista” brand burr grinder from around 2002. It has a few quirks now, but still works. Today it’s mostly just wooden chairs, drinks, and a few mugs. Far less interesting and cozy.
Still remember those arm chairs with the dim lighting from the late 90s. I've designed a few Starbucks as well and they have a lot more equipment and different furniture layouts. It's a little less laid back than 25 years ago.
What stands out to me is there’s no blasting music going. People could actually concentrate & study or do work if they wanted. Also, (& no shade here) all the employees look so normal. No bright blue hair, no guys with makeup on & long painted fingernails, no 25 piercings, no pronouns…
Especially in the middle of the nineties, you're right, you would think they would come alot later, very late 90s would have been my guess, but early 2000s seems plausible
@@planetX15 I was amazed by that too! I grew up around the late 90's and can only remember old registers. It wasn't until the early 2000's that I started seeing them.
Damn, this was 3 years before I met my ex-wife. When we split, she moved to Seattle and got all Starbucksy and hippie-like, so I can’t tell if this vid brings me joy or absolute terror.
I first heard the ridiculous expression in 1986 and could not stand it then. Thinking it was a regional thing, hearing Alicia Silverstone say it in "Clueless" in 1995 meant that the phrase was and would be all over the whole world.
Starbuck today is way more chaotic with so many customers coming in speaking loudly. A few SB I have been through have had cafe be quiet, but some of them have that one customer that feels like they need to scream to the world what they are doing today. Might as well give your full name and social security number while your at it, am I right?
Karens were a rare breed back then, it seemed. Making a public scene was frowned upon. Now it's sport or even staged and then posted on social media for clicks, likes and profit. Calgon take me away ... sigh ...
Bro, if you don't have money for gas, you don't have money for anything. Of course his mommy gave him some green, likely for him to buy some other green.

Worked for Starbucks for almost 11 years and I hated it. The sound of the blenders alone makes me want to scream.
What did you hate about it?

I love the atmosphere in this video
I worked at Starbucks in New England from 2003-2007 while I was in college. I miss the old Starbucks logo.
Lord….I didn’t even know what a Starbucks was in 96.

You always have great comments Mark 😊
@@vampirerobot and I thank you for providing these great videos!
Touch screen computers have been around a long time. There were touch screen computers in the mid 80s.

I think the atmosphere was a lot more cozy and warm back then. Not much has changed though
"see you tomorrow" the regulars before a work shift started.

Everyone was so polite and well mannered back then! I hear a lot of thank yous!!
Now a days, most are impatient and rude
People were just as rude back then….
@@andyinlv1975Yeah but you'd expect rude people now more than ever it wasn't quite common back then
life was so much better before social media..im so glad i was the last generation that grew up without all the eletronics..1993 baby in the house
Venti Starbucks iced mocha latte for $3.45 😱
IKR
Now it's like 8.00 bucks
Came here to say this lol
The camera quality is amazing. It’s hard to believe the video that old as well, seeing how the 90s fashion is becoming a thing again.
Hope that guy got his "gas money" and is doing better today.
First thing that went through my mind was like ha! Check out the snowflake asking his mother for money....
That dude totally spent it on drugs.
@@jakethesnake4971 stop judging
Gen X slacker. He sold his website for millions in 1999. He is doing just fine.

they didn’t use pronouns back then?
Says "No shade" then proceeds to shit all over people with piercings and dyed hair lmfao
This is my favorite channel
Wow!! Thanks David. Very kind words 😄
Back when Starbucks was cheap and really good
A few of them brought in their own reusable cup.
9:58 didn’t know they had touch screens in the 90s! I thought that wasn’t a thing until at least the early 2000s

Not a Starbucks guy but good vid overall
says starbucks lol
Look like nowadays
Neither am I, but for some reason I don't mind their cold drinks, the hot ones can be a hit or miss
Everyone is so pleasant.
Right? Unlike today 😒
Because smartphones weren't around
It looks like an IBM 4695 touch screen at the registers
I prefer the old logo over the new one.
Watching this at a Starbucks now!
were these film student projects? really nice documentation. the faces, the expressions, the humanity.
I didn’t even heard of Starbucks back then! 😂
Hard to believe 1996 was 27 years ago from 2023
Awesome man where did u find these videos?
He is a time traveler.
I love that Kurt cobain shirt
Hope their enjoying retirement

Everybody is paying with cash. I wonder when they introduced card payment...
Venti Iced Mocha 2.45.
The receipt printers are busted.
starbucks now have drive trus
Bring back that tiger logo
I love the mocha frapp !
For some reason I've always enjoyed Starbucks cold drinks to their hot ones, I like the Mocha Frappe too!
I didn’t know they said “my bad” back then. I thought it started in the 2000s.

Back when having crayon-colored hair, tattoos, and multiple face piercings wasn't a pre-requisite to work at Starbucks.
