      I'm fairly sure it was a nice size check. I worked for some telephone and cell phone companies as well as a utility company... all the firms literally buy various famous sports players, actors, comedians, musicians etc. to give speeches for supervisor, manager, executive live speeches, performances, and to have dinner with everyone, or to make videos for training or annual company reviews for the underlings to watch.
      They'll brag how much money it cost them to retain some of them. It's usually in the realm of six figures, but can be 9 figures.
      Full endorsements (for ads) are much bigger in the tens of millions usually.
      I can't blame these famous people for doing it... making a series of lifetime incomes from several billion dollar companies.
      There's many reasons why they're super rich.
      At the same time, we should realize why they're doing it, not because they "LOVE" the whatever is being sold or offered or how the company treats their employees and customers.
      They're doing it for the money honey!
      They're hustling.
      And laughing their ass off all the way to the bank.
      I suspect some of them are nervous though having some of these videos and possible home videos going on the internet.
      They can say some really creepy stuff, particularly at a party trashed off their ass. Stuff I'm sure they don't want out... might bust up their gravy train.

      This was a 90s hip take on a training video, as most of their employees even in the early 90's were very young they are impressionable. Michael Jordan opening the video is to catch their attention and the format of a training video is to keep them interested. The 90s were a crazy time. These days things are like this but polished so much it's even faker.

      A customer once rudely complained in the drive-thru that her last ice cream cone was too small. I said, "Well this one won't be." I piled her ice cream at least six or seven inches high. It was July - a very hot July. Get the picture? Folks, be nice to fast-food employees, or you might get exactly what you asked for. ;)

    this is the most meta training video i've ever seen. it's a video where they're filming a training video, with actors talking about actors going off script, and relating it to how workers should respond to customers. It's really clever.
    Also, the actor at 6:55 doesn't use the clapperboard properly which irks me slightly, it's there to sync audio and video. Although not that it matters much, it just weird to not use the clapper in a shot where you're... using a clapperboard.
    I guess it's as to not confuse the editors with two slates in editing or something. It must have been weird to film the shoot with two slates.

      It really is pretty awful. Getting paid just over minimum wage to wait hand and foot on some of these people and get metaphorically shat on in the process. Once when I was in the linens (sheets, rugs, towels) department at Macy's, me and this other holiday hire spent just under an hour finding this lady just the right assortment of towels - she needed a specific number of each size and they all had to be the same color, and we'd end up one short of the smallest size, or two short of the medium ones. So we did all that work, and she was like "great, can you reserve them for me while I go get my wallet?"
      She never came back.
      At least in the linens department there was usually like 7 people working and the senior employees would handle all the customers most of the time. They'd just have me fixing up the rug displays and folding towels. Which I feel is definitely a good amount of work for minimum wage. Dealing with humans requires more money.

    I worked for a McDonald's franchise owner between 4/93 to 12/95 in Garrison, Mn which was and still is today the smallest town to have a McDonald's and Brainerd, mn. It was brand new when I started and I don't remember ever watching these videos. I do remember even though I had very good work ethic and good reviews every 6 months I never got further then trainer. Years later I found out that they only promoted people with a certain look basically skin and bones. Also the managers that weren't skin and bones were fat shamed until they quit.

      Same for me but '96 - '97. The only part I remembered about this vid was the end scene with the woman and her two children. It always seemed unlikely (to me) in reality that there would be an extra employee to offer a booster seat and to carry her tray for her into the dining area. It'd seem more likely for the mom to find a table/booth in the dining area, get her children settled in and then go order. Only problem there is that the children would be left unattended. Best case scenario in reality is she'd just order from the drive thru and then either walk into the dining area w her children or just eat in the car.
