If May doesn't buy something every 10 minutes it's loitering.  Dale can call the cops and May can go back to robo-jail for violating her parole.

What happens will depend on who is on shift.

If Hannelore is there we might see a giant freakout when May brings up or does something that triggers Hanners. 

If Cosette is there she'll probably trip over something and dump coffee all over May, with unpredictable results.

If Faye is there we might see a fight when May says the wrong thing and pushes her insecurity buttons, especially given Sven's behaviour.

If Sven shows up he and May may end up in bed together.

Emily will have questions for May.
As Emily is not in May's nice_list.txt file, I guess there will be Mayhem (got that? :-D).
If Faye is there we might see a fight when May says the wrong thing and pushes her insecurity buttons, especially given Sven's behaviour.
Finally, Faye may have met her equal (or superior) in the ability to insult. We will see an exchange of insults and dirty words, resulting in mutual respect and friendship.

Marten is loitering at CoD all the time. Besides, May would not drink coffee. I guess CoD has a special menu for robots/androids/anthroPCs:
  • 5 Ampere-hours of delicious pulse charge: $5
  • 500 mA tickling trickle charge: $3 / hour
  • 10 Ampere-hours Espresso charge (WARNING: May damage your components): $10

Actually, Faye and May have met before, and they seemed to get along, after May mooned her. Faye is in fact one of the few people who have seen May when she was playing virtual companion to Dale. I honestly think the two will get along famously, much to the distress of everyone else.

If her chassis is cheap enough that the hair stays bent (as mentioned in 2730), then I don't imagine that realistic naughty bits are a standard feature.

She's not a mundie by any stretch of the imagination, so he doesn't have to worry about finding out she's into scrapbooking, The View, and her bible study group.
Now I'm hoping Emily is into scrapbooking, The View, and her bible study group.

Mundies can declare their monopoly, but they cannot enforce it!

I thought Hanners didn't mind shaking hands with robots...

And yeah, it seems likely that she had dealings with that company in the past. If she did steal money from them, then she was probably lucky to only end up in prison.

I feel like Hannerdad's robots would survive Hannermom's sharks trying to eat them.
In fact, Hannerdad probably designed his robots specifically with that in mind. :P

Now I'm wondering what May did in her pre-prison life. If she was an employee of ECtech, then it's possible that May and Hannelore have met before.

What does it say for the weirdness levels in the comic that the actual existence of evil clones is a thing we readily accept?  Also the basket of mice and mating plumage from 2757.

This is a comic that accepts the existence of a talking cursing dicksissel.
