The only thing he could make conversation about was how old the business was and how long they worked at the donut shop. Aren’t politicians supposed to be charismatic?
Like he was figuring out who he could get fired afterwards for not worshipping him.
He didn’t even ask them what their favorite donut was or about [local sports team] newest season. Pandering isn’t hard, why is he so lazy?
It’s hard because he doesn’t give two shits
What would you recommend? What are some popular donuts? Hell, he could’ve said to give him a good variety.
And watch the MAGA death threats begin because the donut shop didn’t kiss JDs feet when he walked in
I think it would be very interesting to see how they’d react if maga issuing the death threats started getting anonymous death threats themselves.
Just watch, they’re gonna start sending JD Vance sperm samples to the donut shop as retribution
“I don’t want to be on film.” Is put on film.
Exactly! Don’t turn off the cameras, just audibly proclaim the footage will be edited not to include her.
…So anyway, here’s the footage including her
“Look! I totally go out and buy donuts just like you guys! See?! 😉”
ahhh, my eyes 😵
😂😂😂
Aren’t you supposed to plan appearances like this ahead of time to prevent this exact thing from happening?
They’re all magas here were I work so it didn’t work out as well, but our congressional rep planned a stop over here so I planned a day off. I wish more people would have done that, but I live in asshole land. :/
When I worked at a store that sold guns in 2016, supposedly there was a chance that a certain oddly-colored cheeto would be making a PR appearance after a speech in town.
I straight up told my manager if they actually think it’s a real possibility then I will not be returning to work after my lunch break. I don’t think for a second my threat actually made a difference, but I’d like to think my manager and district manager would take their ONLY trained tech for their most profitable services in 8 states and risk them leaving over a PR stunt they know will piss off half the people who shop there.
However when one of the red hats found out that the district manager called corporate to say it wasn’t a good idea, they quit. Granted, nobody cared since it was their first week, but I know they were talking about being desperate for work they were qualified for that won’t do a background check. So they quit over stupid shit when they apparently needed the money.
Logic is not strong with that crowd.
Imagine being born in a position of privledge, and never being told “no” in your entire life. Why would you ever make a plan when you make the subconscious assumption that everyone operates around what you want?
On a related note, this is why “Woke” is so offensive to people like JD Vance. “We were doing just fine before you people started complaining!” is an easy thought to have from the lap of luxuryn
Why would you ever make a plan when you make the subconscious assumption that everyone operates around what you want?
Because their whole life has been geared toward allowing them to believe they are entitled to everything.
As always, calling others “entitled” was pure projection.
from my understanding (and thats making the whole situation even more baffling) he grew up in a ohioan blue-collar family, which means he probably heard “no” more then enough.
especially regarding the family couch.
[insert “Four Seasons Total Landscaping” reference]
Plan? The only plan they got is project 2025. I don’t think it spells out how to order donuts without acting weird.
The heritage foundation did serious planning.
Then they outsourced it to these guys, who didn’t do shit.
Imagine ordering ANYTHING as vaguely as “some of this, some of that, whatever makes sense”.
“Sir, that’s not even a real order. I don’t have time for your bullshit.”
Reminds me of customers at the bank I used to work for who would want the teller to pick which account the money went into. Like bro, make an effort.
“Sweet, I’ll put it in mine!”
In his defense. And that’s the only time i will ever say that. The Dunkin Donuts around here will do a mixed dozen where the employee just puts 12 random flavors in the box. It’s possible he was expecting that.
they’re so full of themselves they cannot conceive of someone who doesn’t want to comply with them and get a moment of fame on TV. that person denying to be on camera probably destroyed his mood for the whole day as he wondered what he did- “there’s no way she hates me so much she doesn’t want to be seen on TV next to me… I’m famous!”
Planning is only as good as the planner. Sometimes you still end up giving a press conference at the wrong Four Seasons.
Oh for sure, happens all the time, was hardly of note even
How long have you worked here?
How long have you worked here?
How long have you worked here?
How long has this place been here?
Some great questions there, JD.
Okay - good.
Not a single follow-up or explanation why he’s asking, either. He’s really building a rapport and drumming up enthusiasm with those interactions.
I can’t be bothered to watch that shit, but based on the comments here dude sounds like a robot.
A robot would have been less awkward. You don’t need to subject yourself to it.
“One dozen glazed, one dozen assorted”.
It’s not that hard, damn.
And props to the employee refusing to be used as a prop for this couch molester.
Who they released a video of anyway, right after telling her they wouldn’t.
Pretty sure she can sue them lol
Throw it onto the pile.
No cream filled please. Filling soft cushions is my favorite part!
He sees an eclair for the first time…and his face lights up with glee…
Well, now he has my vote! /s
Hah. It’s not the first time a Republican has been flummoxed by a cash register.
Not a fan of Bush or the GOP but the Wikipedia article basically refutes that he was flummoxed…
Whereas here Mr. Vance’s cringe is kind of palpable.
Anyone else unable to get the video to play?
I had to go to Twitter to get it to play. It’s definitely awkward but maybe not a awkward as represented in the article. The employees are just trying to do their job and maybe put off by all the cameras.
haha, it played yesterday, maybe it was taken down :D But it’s still on youtube at least
Okay.
“I’m JD Vance I’m running for vice president,” Vance said. “Good to see you.”
The employee sounds unmoved and replies with “okay” and waits for him to begin his order.
Does he expect people to get down on their knees after he tells them that?
Kind of wish she had said, “That’s weird.”
My fantasy:,
“Not under Trump, right?”
“Actually…”
“Ewwww”
“okay…”
silence
“I’m sorry but we don’t have any couch shaped donuts”
“Oh we’re prepared for this! One moment please!”
Call to the back: “Guys, we need the plastic cover for the couch, it’s a code V!”
“I’m sorry, our couch donuts aren’t glazed.”
JD Vance, tugging on his suddenly sweaty shirt collar: “Oh I think I can help out there.”
“I’m sorry, our couch donuts aren’t glazed.”
That’s ok. He prefers to do that part himself.
I literally laughed
The “Please Clap” energy was intense nostalgic.
Or “okay…”
“Then it’s cash only…”
“What are your intentions with my donuts?”
The “OK” crushed him. He was expecting any reaction and she could give 2 shits about him. Order your donuts and get the fuck out, ain’t nobody got time for your ass.
Imagine if she had a zinger loaded. “Yeah, you’re the running mate for ‘America’s Hitler.’”
Actually they probably got a bunch of reactions like that and “ok” was the one person that put him in the best light.
Simplicity is better in most cases. When someone has to tell you who they are and you respond “ok”. That is brutal. You are literally saying I don’t give a fuck
Don’t ask if anyone’s ever tried fucking the donuts. Don’t ask if anyone’s ever tried fucking the donuts.
“Hasanyoneevertriedfuckingthedonuts??”
"Uhhh… Let’s try this again, Vance. This time, maybe just ask people a simple question. Like, ‘how long have you worked here?’ Or, ‘how long has this place been open?’
Every donut shop has a standard dozen they’ll sell you if you don’t want to decide. Not that I’d expect man of the people JD Vance to know that.
Right wing nut jobs cosplaying as human is always cringe. We have pierre poilievre up in Canada every public appearance is a cringe fest. #RightWingCringe #jd(couchfucker)vance #Canada #SquintyMcProudBoy
