Mr_Rose:
Marten's description contains two vital bits of info:
• the barista's name is Hannelore
• Clinton is a fanboy of her father
If we assume that Clinton is enough of a fanboy to talk the ears off of anyone foolish enough to stand still for it on his favourite subject and that Claire is actually his kin in some degree and therefore somewhat socially obliged to listen when he drones on at parties, it stands to reason that she'd be somewhat familiar with the details. Though her association time was suspiciously short to jump directly from "daughter of stupid Clinton's stupid crush" to screaming Hanners' full name out without some small degree of pre-established connection… perhaps meeting Clinton so unexpectedly was enough to stimulate the right synapses? Otherwise it might seem, to those without the relevant background, that Claire herself is potentially as obsessed as Clinton.

Of course it could turn out that she actually is a fangirl, just not of Hanners' dad…

Maybe they hose off the pavement (sidewalk) outside the shop each morning, like many cafés in Sydney? A mundane explanation? That's just crazy-talk! Obviously Dora has had the CoD fitted out like an abattoir, so that the staff can just hose the place down after the kung-fu monks have fled over the rooftops taking their wounded with them? The hose ought really to have one of those on-off nozzles though.

Is it cold in here?:
What would a Beatrice fan girl be like?

Mr_Rose:
The thing about fanpeople is that you can never really be sure just exactly what they're fans of. In the sense that, should you objectively compare a collection of fans' descriptions of their object both with each other and an accurate depiction of said object, you will find wide variances from each other and from reality.

So any given fan of anything, could be "like" whatever it is they think they're worshiping rather than what everyone else thinks they are…

DSL:
That applies to everything, not just fandom -- from the whole basis of the movie "Rashomon" to any police report with more than one witness -- or news story derived therefrom.

I would ask, however, that you stipulate there's a difference (mainly in degree) between "fanboy/girl" and just plain "fan."
