Hardee’s was such a better restaurant when it was its own chain - had such unique menu items, and a totally different ambience, before the Carl’s Jr. buyout in 1997. I’m glad I was born in 1981 and was able to experience it.
Worked at McDonald’s in ‘81. They had us doing this. Customer would say angrily, “I’d order an apple if I wanted one!” Well, I bet they kick themselves now since those were the deep fried apple and cherry pies!”
The sad thing is that the majority of fast food workers feel like the dinko's chick and I can totally relate to them. It's hard and really gets difficult when you have difficult customers. It's a good first job though.
This reply is 3 years into the future, the fast food industry isn't like this anymore. It has changed drastically, so now it's quantity over quality. They want to push their workers to put their whole soul into selling so much. Companies are so greedy now, too.
You know why Hardee's has closed so many locations and have disappeared from half the country? Because they've TURNED AWAY from the commitment to quality explained in this video, and have over-expanded with too many locations, while lowering the quality of the food. And that's the fault of those at the top, not the minimum-wage workers you see at the restaurants. When you insist on paying low wages, you get low-quality employees which lead to low-quality conditions of its restaurants, including trash in the parking lots. As for "suggestive selling", the leaders at the top overdid that by insisting its employees on the drive-thru speaker system offer some big item people do not need. Much like the "Supersize" concept. Sacrifice quality for extra potential profits. If you ever go past a boarded-up Hardee's, looking at this video what they were like in the 80s, you'll know why.
Thats strange, I live in the Midwest and we still have alot of Hardee's, I really have never saw one like you described. Breakfast time is ridiculous, I mean 15 cars in the drive-thru and inside the restaurant is full. Dinner does good as well, I've had to wait multiple times trying to pick up something in the evening because so many people trying to get food. We have alot of restaurants in my area so it's not like Hardee's is the only business, I noticed in the smaller towns they've got the Red burrito stuff on the menu and believe it or not they actually sell Hardee's fried chicken still.
I get fast food probably every other week at the most, and most of the time, it is Hardee's. I stuck with them after their bankruptcy and Carl's Jr merger, but it's just not the same. Back in the late-80's and early-90's Hardee's was at its absolute peak with promotions (California Raisins, Disney plush, etc), food choices (roast beef, salad, fried chicken, big cookie, etc), and yeah, it does taste good, but it's just not the same like it was when they were Hardee's without the star.
The guy in the white shirt at 2:34 must be management...he is just standing there watching the other guy work. The two things he picked up will probably come back in the other guy's performance review since he didn't pick them up first.
See thats the thing they want you to provide first class service for the people but they dont want to pay you shit for the excellent service that you do provide...
This was back when Hardees was original not that Carls' Jr shit or Star Hardees is a Burger King Knock off. This Original orange sign was there until 1997. Hardees had the best fried Chicken in the business and it always 12 pieces for $6.99 plus tax and if you had you had your own cup for soda they would refill it for you for .59 cents for large and .39 cents for small all through out the 90's and the Fisherman's Fillet Sandwich was the best fish you could buy until it switched to Carl's Jr. That California crap doesn't play in the Midwest.

How did it go?
Was fired. Back in 2020 again!

Tonight on Unsolved Mysteries...
Yeah he sounds like Stack
😂😂😂😂 hell yea bro
Yes there is something very mysterious about eating at Hardee's like severe food poisoning. Is creeping up on you anytime.🤤🤢
The meat we serve, is the meat of humans we killed.
He doesn’t sound anything like Robert Stack
haha, I love watching these old training videos...
***** The music are the best too.
I enjoy them too, it’s crazy.
Lol Yes same here!

Hi past commenters! I love my training videos, too. ♥️

J McClain I wanna big cookie.😊😉😀🍪
I'm on a training video watching spree!
Hi, how're you doing these days?
the manager knows what he's talking about...he has a vest.
J McClain haha the vest knows best ;)
and a vested interest in the business! heyooo
And a tie. And looks like Harvey korman.
@@SolamenteVees yes!! lol, I was about to post the same pun. If humor were a building we'd both be standing in the vestibule. (... I'll see myself out)
His wife loves the vest when he gets home with a Big Deluxe
The manager looks like he just got out of witness protection and the government got him this job.
Jim: "Thank you, and come back to Hardees"
Old White Guy: "Very nice suggestive selling, Jim"
Close your eyes and tell me the man's voice doesn't sound like he's trying to help Striker land the plane.
Or tell us about an unsolved mystery
IYKYK :-)
3:53

I dress like a Hardees employee from 1986.
why does the manager look like he's plotting murder
jewdyism the manager is the type of guy to pour bleach and ammonia into the air ducts or cough on the hamburgers
He looks like the type of guy to start a dead nigga storage business.
He hates his job is why
They made ME watch it when I started working here; so now, YOU must watch it!
This video made me want a Dinko Delight.
DOYLERULES69X is that all
I was a shift manager at Hardee's in 1986...this video cracked me up.
Hardee’s was such a better restaurant when it was its own chain - had such unique menu items, and a totally different ambience, before the Carl’s Jr. buyout in 1997. I’m glad I was born in 1981 and was able to experience it.
The suggestive selling, up-selling and ad ons that the manager is encouraging the employees to do is actually pretty annoying to a customer.
Worked at McDonald’s in ‘81. They had us doing this. Customer would say angrily, “I’d order an apple if I wanted one!” Well, I bet they kick themselves now since those were the deep fried apple and cherry pies!”
Hot drinks really get you going, warms you up, when you feel you're slowing.
Wrong franchise
Wendy's - we always serve it right away!
So does meth😂😂
Remember, the customer's favorite impressionist artist is Monet.
"Welcome to Dicko's, Home of the Dildos, Hyaih"
why is tom brokaw teaching me how to do front end work at hardee's?
Why in the hell am I watching a restaurant training video from 27 years ago?
That is what I just asked myself. LOL.
Because there's nothing but shit on the TV.
@@Tennesseestorm76 Did you ask yourself why you are replying to a comment from 6 years ago?
@@Len1977gt no! Lmao
Because you click on it
I hated those dumb berets. The staff looked like taxi cab drivers, or Fred Norris from the Howard Stern Show during the early 1980s.
Ah, I see. Thank you. Let me correct myself: (clears throat) "I hated those dumb *flatcaps*." Much better.
These caps are so hokey and cheesy.
Once again it’s Saturday night, once again I’m watching a training video for a restaurant. Last week, it was Pizza Hut.
The woman at 3:45 was probably in line for 10 minutes and didn't even look at the menu until she got to the counter, holding everyone else up.
People like that, and those who order piecemeal have a circle of Hell just for them.
She was checking her Facebook & Instagram accounts...
She wiped the seat, then the table.
Top down not bottom up
Laying the cash to the side in the drawer is a legit good idea. Had more than one person try to pull one over on me working retail.
The Manager has that voice that sounds like the CBS Evening News.
Stand up guy there saying not to suggestive sell to children. Hardee's seems to care about their customers as of 1986.
What Bill Kurtis does in his spare time when not reporting the local Chicago news on WBBM Channel 2 😂😂😂
Our Cinnamon and Raisin Biscuits are horrible, so let your customers know we're out of them
Lol
Sus sus something something sus sus
Absolutely
"Have your tried the lasagna? It's my favorite."
"Sir, this is a Hardee's."
Do you like hot fudge sundaes?
@@paulcusentino4917 did you catch the game last night?
Gimme that.
Ive never seen a manager at Hardee's go table to table like that with customers like he's mingling
Yes, or any fast fool place.
They used too
@@Colortiniz lol fast fool.
If only I could hear Beavis and Butthead's commentary on this video

Those hats.
they need to bring back those uniforms
Deep voice manager man is right it's about service. ;)
Back then was much nicer...
help, i can't stop watching.
cut to 2021....every fast food restaurant is run by a 19 year old girl named Britnee with a neck tattoo
1:46 That's a ROUND MOUND.
the year i was born. what a time to be alive
And all that for minimum wage.
True
if the customer is looking at the menu board tell them to hurry it up because their holding up the line
Amateurs. Staring at the Goddamned menu board like it's a 5 star Michelin restaurant.
I started at Hardee's in September 1992 at age 16! My first job. I worked there until August of 1994.
When you upgraded to Wendy's?
@@whereismyxanax what did your mom upgrade to?
Before doing voiceovers for Anchorman: The legend of Ron Burgundy this guy managed a Hardees...awesome!!
yellowbeaver65 “he had a voice that could make a wolverine purr....”
Girls at 3:37 are skipping school and excited about all the good shit they shoplifted today.
Country Buffet training video is a lot better. The creepiness is amped up so much more.
What grade are you in at school?
7:48 God, I miss that Big Cookie. The thing was like 4 or 5 inches in diameter, it was truly a big cookie!
1986? Looks like '76 to me.
It really does have a 70's feel but the south always feels a decade behind.
+Loitering In Wonderland and the midwest
This was filmed on a betamax
we get a lot or customers like peter who just came from having a heart attack
Damn Jim is killin it with that suggestive selling
Hardee's Manager:"You will not make this putt...you jackass!!"
this was a time where Hardees had Fried Chicken, burgers, and roast beef all mixed together on one menu
They do - they're just on separate pages: www.hardees.com/menu/chicken-and-more
Jack In The Box had fried chicken, prawns and ice cream cups back in the day.
what manager walks around shaking hands....
huh?
I Actually work Frontline at Hardee's and its way different now
The intro song had no business going that hard.
like a BIG cookie!
greenfoot5000 un hun 😊🤗🍪
5:31 "Never suggestive sell to children". We don't want them to understand capitalism just yet.
But it's a-ok to fill their heads with liberal politics, right?
Mr. White omg seriously? did you really have to go there?
VRRV
You went there first. Take your socialist bullshit somewhere else.
Mr. White that was really rude and uncalled for
VRRV
I suggest you go take refuge in your safe space.
6:24 don’t take the money. where do you think you’re at? Dinko’s or something.

My first job 1982. We wore paper hats. I still have my first one.
The guy in the white shirt at 2:34 must be management...he is just standing there watching the other guy work. The two things he picked up will probably come back in the other guy's performance review since he didn't pick them up first.
Ya know, my uncle was a GM at a Dinko's and it wasn't that shallow...this is slander...
My uncle was a GM at Danko's but he smoked a lot of doobies.
Those Hardees hats look like my normal hat
Haha, Fred Norris. Yeah, I remember that Hardee's hat he wore.
I'm more turned off by the way the Dinko's gal is drawn, not her voice
greyfox37 she sounds like someone’s aunt
This vid made me feel important.
Barb's neglectful mom sighting at 3:43 She must be stricken with grief and coping over a Hardee's Big Deluxe sandwich and Apple Turnover.
6:29 is easily the most vital part of this video lol
See thats the thing they want you to provide first class service for the people but they dont want to pay you shit for the excellent service that you do provide...
Idk why I’m here, I’ve never even been to Hardee’s
This is back when customer service ment something at fast food restuarants
Hardeez still looks 80's
kmbkb I've never seen any in California do you know any ?
Because Hardee's is Carls Jr in CA.
Merica1776 No, I live on the East coast. They have way to many here. And like one poster said, Hardeez is Carl's Jr. Both have the yellow 80's glow.
David hardees is in MI too
I was four years old in 86’. 🤣
I was 11
I'm watching Hardees training videos from the 80s and 90s. I must have some serious issues.
Hey, it's Rodney Safetyfield
If you're questioning why you're here, then just watch this video. you will need the skills someday. :D
I want one of those uniforms.
the voice of American Justice
miamivicepastels83 Yes, you're right.
JL Wrong. Bill Kurtis narrates American Justice.
those cash registers look like an airplane dashboard
one of the best tasting fast food chains
Nice video they way have good service back then and for now there is a lot jobs out there struggling
“The key to being sincere is being yourself”, over and over and over and over and over again for minimum wage.
Has anyone counted the amount of times this manager says the word customer?
That Dinko Delight sounds delicious.
Fun to go to the place, get the food then come home and watch the training video, sorta like 3D
Yep, I remember sitting in the break room being paid to watch these videos
Now they probably watch the Carl's Jr training video
No social distancing?
I thought this was the cast from Welcome back, Kotter behind the counter
wow what a lovey person 2:01 .

Now you're ready to take it up the ass
I survived working there one year.
Who else is getting Hardee's training in 2020?
I saw literally two in the 17 years of my live one in Pittsburgh and one In South Carolina
One of my first jobs I hated those uniforms hated working there to 😂
