No, did someone say there was a video? I haven't even heard about this aWkwArD interaction except for what the other poster said.
I'm just saying it's normal, maybe even good, to say "whatever" to a donut shop person when ordering.
Yeah, "whatever is good" or "assortment" is normal, but watch this.

Warning, it starts quiet and gets loud. Just audio levels.
For some reason that video didn't load, so I searched for "jd vance georgia donut shop" and found this instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2QhtLzz2BM -- which filled me in.
Though, I'm still confused where the context is coming from that there was a video to watch. FinalRemix@lemmy.world's comment was the first I'd heard of any of these food-related campaign events, and it implied (based on the context of the post) that Walz was the "awkward" one somehow.
Though at this point I'm even more confused by FinalRemix@lemmy.world bringing those things up in the context of the original post which is about NYT fact checking bias.
Overall this whole thread has been a shitshow for me and another lesson to not comment on the internet before I've had coffee.
Anyway, thanks for the link which pushed me to dig a little deeper and understand a little better
Nah, it's Vance. I misread the original post in my bleary-eyed half asleep idiocy.
We are all bleary half-asleep idiots on this day
