It's not the explaining that annoys him. It's the fact that Veronica instantly becomes the sole topic of conversation. Girls just find her worryingly fascinating and all they want to talk with him about is his mother! :-D

Even as a non-US citizen, I wouldn't expect a sit-down meeting to dismiss me if I showed up drunk to a non-professional job. If I was drinking while working on my current job, I would expect to be suspended immediately followed by a formal termination process & loss of my right to practice, but if I'd turned up drunk when I worked at a pizza place as a student, I would have expected to be fired on the spot. When someone sexually harrassed a colleague--the only significant misconduct that I can think of that happened whilst I was there--he was sent home unpaid for the rest of the shift, on the understanding that he would be fired on the spot if it happened again. If it had been a thing that endangered our customers, I'm pretty sure he would have been fired straight away.
ReindeerFlotilla:
Old and worn. He doesn't care to revisit. He doesn't get upset, he doesn't enjoy it. He tolerates it. Still don't seem him storming anywhere.
Has he ever stormed anywhere? I think he might have exited on a cutting remark once, and gone off in exasperation with Veronica once, but those were both boundary related. If you want storming off, you want Dora. She storms off, she storms on. Much of the anti-Dora rage of late is colored by her habit of storming.
Marten simmers.
hedgie:
I have a friend who has had similar problems to Faye. He's running out of fingers to count the number of times he's been fired from that coffee shop. Faye may be able to get her job back, and it may because Dora considers her "family". Although, given the way she has cut-off Sven, she may stick with it.
Markus Ramikin:
What I'd really love to see after this is Dora NOT letting either her own stupid brain or anyone else push her into guilt. If she was like "you know what, fuck this, I did the right thing, I refuse to feel bad about it."
That would be refreshing.
And yeah, I also thought of how she cut off Sven, indeed, except in that case I still have no idea what she finds so very toxic about him.
