I was 13 in 2005 and i miss those times like crazy. People didn't do crazy things in public, society was much calmer/nicer, music was way nore whilesome, people had wayyyy more sense, morals and values were the majority not the minority.... I could go on. At 30 it breaks my heart to see whwre society is now. I cant imagine what it will be like in another 10-15 years😢💔
It’s funny how this video is over 18 years old but still looks a lot like yesterday. Minus a few electronics it still looks very present. It’s nothing like watching a video from the 90s
I was a cashier at Target in 2004. Can confirm... it looked like this lol. They had a system where you'd be rated by how quick you could get each customer through. "G" green was good, "R" red was bad. They wanted us to get 90% G ratings. But the customers were responsible for a lot of R's Every time a customer paid by check, i knew it would be an R. It was a pretty stressful and annoying system to work by. Thank goodness I only worked there for a few months.
I loved the Targets with small food courts; though I'm sure the employees didn't love sweeping up the popcorn I spilled while checking out all the awesome Lego Star Wars sets that were coming out around this time. Those Xbox 360 and digital camera displays bring back a lot of memories as well!
The fact that this was recorded during Christmas of 2005 is crazy. The Xbox 360 barely came and the PS3 wasn’t even out yet till Christmas of 2006. HDTVs were barely coming a thing, and Call of Duty 2 and NFS: Most Wanted were a few of the launch titles for the Xbox 360. Even Herbie Fully Loaded came out that time too lol.
It sucks that Foodcourts are a dying art. I always loved the Targets and Walmarts that had Chick Fil A's and McDonald's and such in them, probably because they remind me alot of physical malls which I also adore
Man that section with digital cameras hit hard. Some of those models are so familiar like it happened two years ago. I spent more than half of 2005 trying to pick out a digital camera.
This was the era of Target I remember when I worked for one from 2008-2014. It was my first retail job. I started that job in October 2008 and got to experience my first Black Friday inside a store before it opened to those crazy Black Friday shoppers. I'll never forget that experience.
It’s crazy to think the loved ones we all had that passed were alive walking around doing whatever they do in this video 😢 rip to all our loved ones and these times were what everything miss the good days
I was 3 years old in 2005 and there are so many relics of the past I really miss about Target. The neon lights on the walls, the higher-quality clothes lines they had (I really miss Mossimo and WhoWhatWear), the higher quality decorations they sold during Christmas and their beautiful set-ups, the dark gray video game displays, the old TVs that played cartoons of the time at the front of the DVD section, the CD track sampling machines in the music section, the more minimalistic designs on their brand-name food products, and the smell of cooking hotdogs, soft pretzels, and buttered popcorn that wafted from their special dinning area. When I’d go to our local Target with my mom, she would sometimes treat me with a bag of Market Place fruit snacks (with the original flavors), and a frozen Coke from the icee machine.
I think it’s great that these videos exist to document life in these times.

I like how quiet it is. Now they blast music like it’s a rave.

it's crazy to me that the majority of this is ALMOST indistinguishable from a store today

Crazy to see how much Target hasn't changed lol.

life peaked in these times 😢
Crazy to think how all those kids we see were literally us

Im 29 and it’s wild that this doesn’t even feel like that long ago! Many of my memories from that time still feel fresh
Hits hard. Kids now really dont know how good we had it back then. Glad i was alive to experience the time.

Back when the main aisles of Target weren’t cluttered with shelves full of product. I miss those days. The store was much easier to maneuver

2005 one of the best years of my life. Playing PS2, seeing friends and not even thinking about tomorrow
