I disagree. I think she completely has a point. She didnt employed Marten for the very same reason, remember ?
You can have a person be your employee and then be your friend, but making a friend an employee is a whole different story.

Mien gott, I'm agreeing with Snubnose. Must be one of those days. But the Marten precedent is a good one—maybe he'll tell Hanners later.
Dora was and is boss first and friend second when she's at the shop, and Faye has shown more than once that she knows it. She may bitch and whine, but she understands the dynamic. One may argue that Raven was a friend first, but their relationship had 'cooled,' for lack of a better word, enough by the time Dora hired her that I don't think it counts.
But Dora has become not only a friend to Hanners, but also something of a mentor/mother/sister. I'm sure working for such a person is not what Dr. Whosname has in mind. How can Hanners have normal responsibilities when her employer knows all about her issues and limitations and is more concerned about them than her performance on the job?
BTW, I imagine this shoots down Tai, too, which is probably a good thing; she's not exactly a model employee as I recall. And, as I've said, Steve may have hulled Cosette's chances. Me, I'm more and more hoping, if it has to be an established character, that it's Lydia. She would bring an entirely new dynamic to CoD, I suspect. Plus, it's be embarrassing for Faye. Can't have enough of that, you know.
Edit: Plus, it'll be embarrassing for Faye. Dammit, dammit, dammit.
Tuitsuro:
It's generally not a good idea to hire friends and relatives, true. But I doubt that's Dora's reasoning, I mean she lives with one employee and is fairly good friends with the other; and she was already good friends with Raven when she started the shop. So as much as it's good advice, it's not advice she has ever followed. Instead, I think she mulling over the idea of Hanners working at a coffee shop, realizing that there's very little chance that she'll work out, and simply letting her down easily instead of flat-out saying she sucks.
Is it cold in here?:

Yes, the Principle of Maximum Awkwardness must be maintained.
