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.

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
