Just because we haven't seen Faye or the other blonde chick w. glasses (I'm totally blanking on her name) doesn't mean they're not there. Jeph is focusing on Hanners after all.

I'm pretty sure there hasn't been time, since neither Penelope or Faye seem to be there and the rush is on. Too, despite her preparedness, I'm betting Hannelore didn't think to bring a change—or if she did, again, it would only get quickly soiled as well the way things are going. Better to save it until post-rush.

This does seem mildly baffling. If it is just Dora, Hanners and Cosette, I'm wondering why Dora would do that. It makes sense to have them both there for training purposes, but once training is over, doesn't it make more sense to rotate the two of them in so there's two trained baristas and one new one on at a time? Seems like it'd be much less of a potential headache-causing scenario.

Bringing in both Faye and Pennelope in additon to Hanners and Cossette woudl be counterproductive on the salary front.  The two newbies are drawing minimum wage (most likely), and the other two are probably at Minimum wage + x, so that would more than double Dora's salary bill for that shift and still leave her with no one to work the later shifts (at least without overtime).  Based on my wife's experience as a store owner, the two experienced workers will be handling the later shift, and after these two are trained up, they'll be rotated into the mix.  Also, there probably isn't room behind the counter for 5.

Is it cold in here?:
We've never seen a special with spinach in it.

I bet that would surprise Hannelore, if Dora bought spinach to put in lattes. She wouldn't expect that. But then,

Nobody expects the spinach acquisition.

Well, that was certainly unexpected...
