We are talking about the same business that has threatened customers with a broadsword they keep under the counter at all times, right?

I'm with the numeric gentleman on this one. If Faye gets to come back once she's gotten her shit together, then she was never really fired.
I'm also of the opinion that Dora's been a pretty crappy friend up to this point, taking action, be it by really firing Faye or just giving her the boot until she straightens out, is the first thing she's done to try and help her friend, and it seems she wasn't even thinking about that, only about getting rid of a liability. Which isn't a bad mindset, Dora's a business owner first and foremost. But she had other options, and if Faye is really fired, she took the most aggressive option without a second thought.
It never should have gotten this far though, because after yesterday's (in comic time) episode of Faye wanting to drink at work, and her stated intention to stay drunk whenever she's conscious, Dora should have done something, anything, other than letting her go home to get drunk again when her shift was up. Good boss, good business owner, crap friend.
Also, this isn't the first case of Faye drinking at work, and she never made an effort to hide it in the past. I can't remember any instance of her drinking on the clock with Dora in the shop, but almost definitely around other employees. The emergency bourbon wasn't exactly a secret.
Warning - while you were reading 4 new replies have been posted. You may wish to hide in a sewer while the guy reenacting a sidescrolling beat'em up fights them all.

--- Quote ---... why was I singled out, exactly. If she gets hired back in two weeks, it's just another version of what I was saying Dora should do.

It's not. What you're saying is that the punishment was too harsh and irreversible. What I'm saying is the complete inverse: a) she can be planning to give her the job back all along, but had to send a strong enough message to get through to her, a message that "Go home" or "You're suspended" could not, and b) even if she wasn't expecting an immediate turnaround from Faye, she is doing what any good boss would do in her situation by setting an irrevokable standard for her business and her employers. If anybody else is having a shit time, they will know not to go 'full Faye', and take it out on the job.

oh, you mean those things that WERE NEVER USED TO HURT CUSTOMERS?
Is it cold in here?:
SJCrew, don't let it get personal.
MrNumbers, I thought about your question, and a possible answer is "starting a fire". She's done it before.
