I'm guessing this is riffing on Vance's visit to a doughnut shop, where to the complete indifference of the employees, he ended up asking for 'whatever makes sense'. It looks like he said the same to a barber, who - not knowing what he was on about - gave him that terrible haircut.

    The man can't even get fucking donuts. Like WTF, go in with a plan and get the fuck out!

    I can walk into any donut shop and I already know what I want. If you can't do that I suspect you're some kind of foreign agent who isn't familiar with what you might find in a donut shop.

    BTW, it's apple fritters, and I'll have three, thanks.

    In 1942? Not fair to compare modern habits with an isolated per-internet world.

    To my eternal dismay, all the donut shops in my town stopped making buttermilk bars, so I have to go in with a "stretch" donut and have a safety donut (old-fashioned glazed) as my most likely order.

    The hell is a buttermilk bar? I am intrigued 👀

    It's like an old-fashioned (usually glazed) more in a bar shape than a traditional donut shape. I would assume that they have buttermilk in the recipe, but I don't don't really know the specifics other than than they have a bit more of a "sour cream" tang than a regular old-fashioned.

    Getting a dozen glazed and a dozen assorted is pretty typical for a doughnut order. No one wants to wait for the person at the counter to lost of a dozen different doughnuts.

    Yeah, but he didn't even have that ready to go. If that's what you're getting, you should know it before you walk thru the door. He seemed to be making it up on the spot.

    And if you got a list, good, I'd rather know you know what you want, rather than awkwardly trying to make small talk while failing at the simple task of donut ordering (all for some nonsense PR campaign).

    Agreed, but I find that most donut shops either have fantastic glazed and their assorted is bad, or vice versa.

    Much prefer one or the other.

    But also... Just buy a round of donuts for everyone standing in line would be the best bet for making a good impression (out of his own pocket, not from the campaign funds)

    vance: Why'd you wait so long and let cancer get this bad before getting treated?

    Cancer Patient: Because I kept getting denied from insurance and we can't afford it on our own...

    vance: Can't afford? I'd just walk into a hospital, I get free healthcare for life for my entire family.

    Cancer Patient: ...and we had to sell our home just to cover additional costs

    vance: ok, good. that couch looks comfy

    Didn't Walz recently say something along the lines of 'imagine them ordering something they wouldn't even know how to do it'? does anyone remember that from a speech?
