When you order a dozen (or more) donuts it’s absolutely normal to be asked if an assortment is ok, or if you’d like to choose. Unless you have specific restrictions or preferences, the assortment is the way to go - even then, if you see coconut go in, you just say, “oh no coconut please”. You’ll get the most popular kinds and maybe some that haven’t been selling well that they need to get rid of. Also, you don’t waste the time of everyone in the shop with “uh, 3 of these, 4 of those, wait, 4 of these and um um what’s that one? no thanks”. But the important part is you left the choices up to the baker to make a sensible choice.
So “whatever makes sense” is probably the best option and not even an odd way to say it.
It’s certainly not “dismissive”, if anything it’s respectful of their knowledge and ability to put together a nice selection. I realize we’re just talking about donuts here but if you’re working with donuts every day even as a minimum wage employee, you know more about donuts than most people. And hey, if you’re a donut connoisseur just tell them “I’ll pick” and rattle them all off. They’ll appreciate that too.
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.
Yikes, you’re doing so much work here, bud… This is weird.
But anyways, how long have you been in this thread?
This attack on his “whatever makes sense” is the equivalent of the “dijon on a hamburger!” uproar. Vance has got plenty of weird shit that actually matters, let’s not try to out stupid Republicans here.
Well, for one, you can see how long I’ve been in the thread since there are timestamps on everything
Second, “so much work here” is really just me talking about how its fine to order donuts as “whatever” or letting the baker/employee pick. Cuz I like donuts, and I like letting them choose for me.
Third, after watching the video linked by someone else, and seeing how you called me “weird” I understand now that I could be misconstrued as defending JD Vance, which I absolutely am not and would never do. The way that FinalRemix@lemmy.world described it, I thought both instances were things that Walz did and was being attacked for in a very stupid way (as someone else said, “like attacking dijon mustard” re:Obama) – this is my first time hearing about these silly food related things so I was missing a lot of context which apparently everyone else already has.
After seeing that video, re-reading some of the comments here (and reading the newer ones) I’m not even sure why the commenter I responded to was talking about Vance without saying his name in the first place. I jumped to a conclusion based on the available context in the thread at the time (which all points Walz) and that was incorrect.
Lastly, as you can see I can be a bit long-winded when I have something more meaningful to say than a joke, quip or question. So “doing so much work” is relative 😉 – But, I also understand where you were coming from now with the assumption that I am going above and beyond to defend Vance’s conversation - which, as someone else said, went off the rails as soon as video consent was not granted. And I want to reiterate, fuck that fucking couchfucker.

Okay. Good.
