At Canadian Tire, they had those NCR 7052s with those CRTs, beeping keyboards, but had IBM Model 3 printers instead of NCR 7150 printers. They were looking for alternatives for NCR printers, and IBM printers worked well with NCRs. At the beginning of the 21st century, the 3s, and sometimes they had 4s, were replaced with 4610 Suremarks, keeping everything else intact. In 2005, the NCR 7052s were replaced by Fujitsu terminals keeping the 4610 Suremarks. Those thermal printers could connect to almost anything!
This is so nostalgic, especially the sounds of the checkout stand. I was immediately transported back to my childhood. I was cleaning out my basement recently and came across a JCP bag, just like the ones shown in this video!
What amazes me most is the cameraperson's confidence to point the camera at people's faces to blatantly. They seem less concerned then than they would be nowadays too.
I bet those people didn't think they would end up on the internet 25 years later. TH-cam was obviously not a thing back then lol. No social media so people didn't care that they were being filmed. Probably thought it was strange though.
Ahh this is so nice, my mom used to take me back to school shopping at Penny's, Kohl's, places like that. This definitely makes me feel like we are back there 😢 Thank you for the videos! I absolutely loved watching the cashier's scan everything and loved the sounds the old cash registers make!
Funny you should mention that. Back in 2003, I went into a JCPenney in Florida, and it still looked the same as it did in this video. Even the NCR 7052s were still in use with their original 7150 printers until a few years later. In the UK, virtually every department store chain except for the JLP and HOF used those exact terminals, as did the catalogue store giant Argos. Most except Littlewoods and Allders (who went bust in 2005) phased them out by the 00s in favour of newer NCR models with thermal printers.
@@AurumUsagiThey had NCR 7052s like those in Canadian Tire, but with IBM Model 3 printers. It was quite an arrangement of noises, the beeps of the keyboard and the unforgettable Model 3/4 printing noise together.
@@liamwatson5125 That's a very unusual combination for an NCR. Most I've seen were always paired with NCR 7150 printers. Then again, I've seen Fujitsu ICL TeamPOS 5000s with Epson TM-U950s and Axiohm (NCR) thermal printers instead of the usual Fujitsu ICL FD21 dot matrix, so some stores do mix EPOS equipment.
I have always appreciated this style of documentary photography or in this case videography. I have had sons of doing it myself probably since this year AKA 1997 as I was just getting out of high school the year before. Unfortunately I have wasted the last 20 plus years and I've done very little of it except for the occasional family get together or random family party. Cheers to whoever had the eye to do this.
Aww the catalog 😢 not to be that person but it seems like there was more structure, control and neatness in stores back then!! JcPennys and stores in general aren’t this stocked anymore.
I just love JCPenney's way of showing the prices if an item is on sale or clearance. It's very helpful and they've got an amazing jewelry collection. So I am sad to see it go.
Our JCP is still around in which I visited as a child in the late 90s. We still visit at times & I tell you when you first walk in!!!!! That nostalgic smell that comes at you when you first enter those doors…. It definitely takes you back!!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
There’s something to be said for how we used to shop. Honestly, all the technology & online shopping is more stressful to me. I need the app & I need to use the digital download coupon🙄It was just more simple back then & you had good choices to choose from. Lots of stores & lots of options.
I specifically remember that catalogue. It was a catalogue that had the best toys of 1997 and damn if I wasn’t going to try my best and get a N64 that Christmas.
I worked at the mens department at Sears back in '96. Think they only required a sport coat and tie at the time. We weren't as fancy as you Penny's guys. 😁
1997, age 25. JCPenney became one of my favorite stores and I still shop at the one at the Cherry Hill Mall. In 1997, I shopped at their Burlington Center location. This closed over 5 years ago. The mall closed shortly after and is now warehouses with store cubes in front.
I was probably 14 or 15 at the time. At first, I thought this video had got to be from the early 90s in the beginning because the old ladies with the big frame glasses reminded me of late 80 early 90s. This can't be 1997! But then, I saw the kids. One of the boys was wearing an oversized t-shirt and a baseball cap. It reminded me of something my brother would wear at the time. Then I saw a girl with a mini backpack purse. I was like, "Oh yeah, this is definitely 1997!".
What a time. I feel bad for the younger generation. We knocked on windows to tell our friends to come outside. Was outside most of the day. When you left your house and no one could bother you, bc most likely you didn't have a cell phone. You could relax because you didn't have a smartphone to look at every 2 minutes.
My mom worked in the jcpenney hair salon in 98-2000's I would go to work with my mom and walking a round mall mom would sometimes give me money to buy something or food. I had so much fun!
The NCR 7052s were still in use until around the mid 00s. Thanks to being based on IBM compatible/Wintel technology, they had such longevity until they were eventually obsoleted, especially due to changes in the way we use cards for payments thanks to C&P and now contactless as well. No longer did one had to authenticate and get customers to sign dockets that got fed through the franking part of those dot matrix/impact printers. The technology and fashions may have changed, but most JCPenneys I've been to since 2003 still looked the same as this one.
I still think this older technology was faster than what we have today. I know everyone thinks touchscreens and fancy GUIs are the latest and greatest, but the older, keyboard focused interfaces seemed to be much faster, if the cashier knew what they were doing. And don’t even get me started on iPads being used for cash registers. The screens are way too small.
@@thatjpwing I've seen so many of those touchscreen EPOS tablets. They certainly don't have the same feeling as an actual terminal. Even NCR seems to have lost their distinctive bleep with those tablets.
My little brother would say “this is what JCPenny looked like in the late 1900s” While I would just say “this is what it looked like when I was 1 in the 90s yes” 😂

The old cash registers hit the jackpot for me. Such nostalgia! I could watch those all day long

My comfort videos from you are late 90s and early 2000s
I loved the malls. It was a great place to get out of the hot weather and meet people from all over the country and sometimes the world.
What amazes me most is the cameraperson's confidence to point the camera at people's faces to blatantly. They seem less concerned then than they would be nowadays too.

Love the sounds. The click of the hangers. The tapping of the keys on the register. The crinkling sounds of the paper sacks. Love it.
People look more relaxed and taking their time shopping.

So you remember it penny instead of Penney like others
@@artsy9099 Sorry I am just seeing this, yes I call it Penny, its weird to add that E, as I think of Penny like the coin :)
If it weren’t for the older computers, I would’ve sworn this was filmed 10-15 years ago lol

@@AurumUsagistores do that all the time. I was employed at an indoor soccer field in 2021 and the old fart owner still made us use punch cards
Kmart was probably still using those same computers up until they closed.

Exactly, it looks very 2000sesque to me
there is somrone on youtube that has he been doing it since every year since 1987 till present his name gilbert arciniega

Buying Jnco @ 5:25 what A wonderful Mother.
Omg it’s so cool to see that catalog in the beginning of the video that I still have !

Definitely a lot of signs. Makes it easy for the customers but a pain for the employees.
Oh, the memories… I wish I was a kid again

I agree!
All the nostalgia feels, the first time I worked for Penney's was in 1998!
Lady wearing the Nike outfit with those sandals go and show 2023 is definitely bring the 90s back ❤❤❤
I enjoyed it. I appreciate your time making these videos back then. And saved them for later. I just miss the good old days

Did you?
@@vampirerobot No, my grand father bought the following year and I progressed into owning it after I got several games for it.
@@MileHighScaleModeler Well at least you finally got it then 😀
Malls were enjoyable to shop and hang out in the 90s. Life was awesome in this video.
Look at the free catalogs !❤️😧
This is the year i was born. Its pretty cool to see how stuff was back then. The sound of those dot matrix printers is awesome.
I remember those Penny's registers from working there in 95-96. Had to wear a suit and everything. Those were fancy times.
I worked at the mens department at Sears back in '96. Think they only required a sport coat and tie at the time. We weren't as fancy as you Penny's guys. 😁
Back when people actually worked and gave a damn, I was 20 years old
The faint squeak of the hangers sliding on the racks
“Wider leg” jeans and ringer t-shirts. 90’s style was pretty darn cool.
No plexiglass lol
🤣🤣🤣

Nobody holding a damn iPhone in there hand, actually looking at their surroundings, so many young people are so oblivious 😂
I agree, very underrated comment and should have way more likes.
I’ll never forget waking into clothing stores and being fascinated by the mannequins and dim lights as a kid
Mom: If you get lost just go to the nearest cashier and wait for me
Me: Okay
My mom worked in the jcpenney hair salon in 98-2000's I would go to work with my mom and walking a round mall mom would sometimes give me money to buy something or food. I had so much fun!
Nothing has changed aside from the amount of people in the store.
You could hear those printers across the store 😆
Now I see why Jackie from Roseanne was so popular 😂 now I see why the show was so relatable 😂
No onee on phones lol

Some of those NCR terminals would have either an IBM Model 2 or Model 3 printer hooked up.

9:27 High socks and flip flops.
🧦 🩴 Loved me some high socks!
5:57 I remembered those cash register sounds at my local JCPenney as a child.
🎵 Do-do-doing it riiiiiiiiight, JCPenney! 🎵
I loved Mervyn's
How did you find this video? So good
Which location is this? Great video!
I graduated HS in 1997.
I remember things like this
Wow the catalogs 😲
Oh those JCPenney bags, good stuff
It's crazy that after all these years, the overall layout of the stores still look the same.
My little brother would say “this is what JCPenny looked like in the late 1900s”
While I would just say “this is what it looked like when I was 1 in the 90s yes” 😂
Strong Peggy Hill vibes from the lady in blue at the beginning.
I do remember those bags
5:17 oh yes i remember those registers
That jcpenny looks like a boston store
How did they recreate the 90’s look so well???Where did they find all these people that look like they’re from the 90’s?? And the stores look straight from 90’s too. Amazing job
Elevator music 😅
@5:07 Online order?
They still have the same clothes lol
JC Penny was a store that use to exist and now dust in the wind 🌬
6:33 why is that lady who is doing the return invading the other girl space 😡
this location closed in 2020
I spy Levis Silver Tab jeans😊
Fat and skinny went to bed when fat rolled over skinny was dead!
Paper bags.
God kids ruin everything it's so peaceful one second than here they come
Granny dead 😢
How did u make the quality better its like its remastered idk how to explain it or is it like that? I really dont know how cameras work in the 90s i mean there were camcorders and vhs and stuff like types of cameras but like idk bro dont know how to explain it
