    You got time to lean, you’ve got time to clean.

    Crazy how working fast food used to be a “high school” job but now it’s mostly adults with many being 50-60 years old.

    They look like they’re in their mid 30s, but oldest is probably 20.

  6. 1st and 4th picture looks like a young Marc Summers!

  7. captaincartwheel

    I see Tom Foolery made it into pic 13/19

    Why are the women all wearing hats while the men aren’t?

    Lady in picture number 6 is seriously giving the dude with his arm around her some epic side eye.

    It’s weird how different the world was before cell phones. People actually talked more and smiled

    Probably making the equivalent of like $38/hr nowadays.

    Back when mustaches was the style of choice. Now every guy would be bearded.

    I went through all the pictures, and even if you count the people in the background it’s still only about 30 Taco Bell employees, not 1984 of them

  15. Bright_Aardvark_4164

    Now they are all 40 year old Mexicans

    Everyone at my Taco Bell looks homeless or like they are high on something

  18. Fastcobra423

    Is the 4th photo that of James O’Keefe?

  19. Why is it in black and white? It’s 1984 not 1934
