Rule 1: The boss is never to blame.
Rule 2: When the boss is to blame, see Rule 1.
Tuitsuro:
It does make you wonder whether Dora's actually cut out to manage a coffee shop. Also, given her reaction, I'm assuming Dora didn't approve of taking money out of petty cash to buy general store coffee; so did Faye go out and spend her own money on the store? That's devotion, if nothing else.
Dora's right on the ethics though. Serving shit and claiming it's gold is a surefire way to kill off your company, esp. if you're in foodservice. If I were taking this as a case study, then in my opinion Dora's going to have to bite the bullet, find a premium vendor within the next half hour and pay out the nose for quality coffee. It's not COD's blend but at least it's worth it's the price. I'd almost suggest closing the store for the day, except I realized that the reason they're in this mess is because Dora just got a whole shipment of fresh baked goods which will end up being day-old throw-outs tommorrow. Simply put, I doubt she could afford that much loss.

One-ply? Jesus, way to be cheap, Dora.
Faye's not going out of her way to press Dora's buttons, she's just pressing them like she usually does and this happens to be a bad time for it :-P
Still, is it really ok for them to serve another store's coffee, even though it's an emergency (relatively speaking)? I mean I really don't know since I've never worked at a coffee shop.

Depends on how Dora advertises the coffee, really. If she advertises as 'fresh coffee', she could get away with Folgers. If she advertises as 'in-house roast coffee', then she's fairly fucked. To a certain extent, false advertising is illegal, and getting caught can kill a store if only because your store image is now mud in the targeted market's eye.
themacnut:
They need to serve some kind of coffee-like substance, seeing as they're in, you know, a coffee shop. And as Tuitsuro pointed out, they can't close for the day or those fresh baked goods Dora just traded her day's coffee supply for will go to waste. So it's probably store-bought coffee for the customers until Dora gets a batch of fresh roast ready, or CoD takes a loss which it probably can't afford.
