29. The problem is Vance's campaign staff either hates him.

Or doesn't know how Campaigns stops work.
While a local handler might suggest the candidate drop in to someplace interesting and make small talk/get selfies while actually getting something that catches their eye, campaigns don't just "drop in and chat with the locals" with camera crews tagging along without getting permission from the manager. The local handler and staff asks first and clears it with the managers before they bring the crews in for the Q and A or stump speech.
The location is always vetted first. The staff should have a schedule that includes when a candidate might like a pit stop or nosh or quick stump speech, gets a list of locations in the area, and scout them out first, warning the owner or the manager Secret Service will be dropping by.

Because handlers and staff know how disruptive a visit would be to a business, and potentially embarrassing it is if the business wasn't favorably inclined to being a campaign or political stop, such as what happened with Vance's donut buy.

His staff must hate him. Because they seem to be dropping the ball a lot.

According to Primanti... Vance ws invited inside after a brief moment of confusion. WarGamer Sep 29 #6
Gee I wonder why The Couch lover hasn't released any videos of being inside MagickMuffin Sep 29 #14
It's probably because of what he said inside Generic Brad Sep 29 #23
If he's truly a hillbilly, he's had a sandwich. Probably a lot of them. He's just an idiot with no social skills. mucholderthandirt Sep 29 #36

I'm assuming they let him inside AFTER the stunt in the parking lot. WarGamer Sep 29 #18
But it seems he said he paid for the cancelled orders while he was still in the parking lot. Think. Again. Sep 29 #21

No, he actually said that, he said "we paid for everyone's food". Think. Again. Sep 29 #27
That's alright. Primanti Bros probably would've had to sue Trump/Vance to get the bill paid anyway. SupportSanity Sep 29 #7
