How long have you worked here, other employee?

Hi, I'm JD Vance, how long have you worked here?

"Ok, good."

I'm kinda socially awkward, and this is what my dialogue skills were like five or six years ago, but someone running for vice president should maybe, idk, take a single decent public speaking class?

He could have asked how they’re doing and what are their favorite donuts.

Kinda awkward too. Seth Meyers did a bit where he went with Joe Biden to get ice cream. He asked the employees if they liked ice cream. It's kinda a silly question because they just work there.

It's just a really bad idea to go into a place with no advance notice with a bunch of cameras. These aren't actors, they just work at a donut shop, what do you expect to happen? The woman immediately saying "I don't want to be on TV" makes a lot of sense. She's just working a shift, hasn't had a chance to put on some makeup and make herself look nice for the cameras. It's just ambushing regular people and expecting it to come out good. Dumb move all around.
