Be rude and threaten customers? Totally fine. Show up drunk even though it's not visibly affecting performance in any serious way? Fuckin' fired.

Her rudeness was something customers seemed to come back for, so maybe that's why up to now it's been tolerated. Being drunk at work could result in a workplace accident (lots of hot steam at CoD), which would lead to a MAJOR lawsuit for Dora if a customer or another employee were hurt.

Being rude to people is encouraged, however drinking on the job is definitely against the rules .

That is actually the way it is at my place of work. There is an employee who is rude to customers, an absolute shit of a human, and management just keeps him off of the sales floor. However, if he were to show up late 4 times in a quarter, steal, test positive for drugs, or show up drunk/get caught drinking on the job, he would be immediately fired.
Also, Dora caught Faye drinking on the job, that is quite a bit farther than showing up drunk.
TheEvilDog:
Reasons why being drunk at work is a problem for a coffee shop:
*Several apparatus that can produce scalding steam - compensation for staff injuries alone could potentially bankrupt Dora, let alone any customers.
*There is a coffee grinder in the cellar, Faye could injury herself or worse down there, especially if part of her responsibilities as an assistant manager is to go down there for coffee in the morning.
*Keeping customers in line with one liners and overly exaggerated threats is one thing, but if Faye is drunk and actually acts on that, then that's a huge problem for Dora.
*There is a whole slew of health and safety regulations, each depending on state and country, that state why being drunk at the workplace is a sackable offence. One would presume that Dora would have to comply those regulations in order to get a business license.
Every contract you've had to sign when you begin work somewhere has a list of offences that result in instant dismissal, if not actually in the contract, than a document that an employer has to supply at the request of an employee. Faye has breached that contract, and even if Dora made a snap decision, she still acted in a manner for the best of her business. Faye was messing with her livelihood.
