Here’s an enjoyable news report from 1993 that is sure to make you laugh. It features reporter Jamie Costello of WMAR-2 News in Baltimore getting reactions of Burger King customers being told that the fast food restaurant would be accepting credit cards. A lot of people thought it was crazy at the time! One person said:
“I think it’s pretty bad if you have to use a credit card when you go to a fast food restaurant for something as little as three dollars and ten cents.”
But, there were some that were okay with it:
“If I use my GM card I get a five percent rebate. I think if I eat here it long enough I’ll be able to buy a pickup truck.”
This is ‘90s retro gold! It’s pretty wild that the thought of using a credit card at a fast food joint was too much of a wild concept for some people. One guy even said that he can’t imagine it working on a day-to-day basis. Oh, how times have changed.
