    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.

        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.

                perhaps even moreso. the variations in dialects when going from village to another can be huge. I would guess that countries homogenized later than WW2

          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.

              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.

            My favorite bakery stopped making their bear claws.

            It was a cinnamon roll with home made maple frosting.

            Now I don’t go there, nothing is the same without my claws.

          Nah bro, I want to be delighted. What is your specialty. What’s the best thing you make? Got anything weird? If it’s just standard fare or a chain place, I let the Whims of Fate guide my hand.

          If you got’em, I’ll take a Bismarck (or Boston Creme, whatever you want to call them, the chocolate covered cream filled one). If not, maybe you’re the type of donut shop that also has cinnamon rolls? No?

          Just a coffee, then, please.

        Or in lieu of a plan, just pick out a donut that looks good to you. How out-of-touch must one be, to be incapable of even pretending to enjoy sugary fried bread?

        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)

            Yeah, dude has no idea how to interact with normal people, but i am just saying that i hate orderin specific doughnuts for a variety pack and always defer to the shop on that.
