Who was it that said this could be Claire's chance to leave the nest while Faye couch surfs? Because as much as I would privately be heartwarmed, it's not likely they've been dating for what? Two/three days? A week tops?

Not only that, if there's anyone who needs their boundaries and privacy respected, it would be Claire. On top of all the reasons it would be a worse idea than Marigold moving in with Dale would have been, she can't live with Pintsize. An ideal for Claire would be a place of complete privacy and refuge like Hannelore has and which she could in no way afford.

Half the cast works at COD. Really doubt it's possible to delete Dora from the comic. Faye, OTOH...

* Dora may have fired Faye but Dora's going to have to find a way to make herself do the paperwork, she will probably find that harder to do than she feels at the present
* Sven will show up when he can do the most good, not when he can do the most bad
* Unfortunately that means Faye's got farther to fall (yes it's possible)
* Hopefully it doesn't happen while she's babysitting Sam (or if it does then Sam shows herself to be as capable of handling herself as she usually does)
* Marten's going to get hit with some serious choices
* The next time we see Angus he'll be eating cereal

Sam usually gets sent to CoD, so I think it wouldn't happen, but I'd like to think either Faye or Jim would realize that her babysitting was a bad idea (if she smells like booze, like she did when she got to CoD today, I don't think it would really matter to Jim if she claimed she was just hungover). Otherwise I feel bad for everyone, but especially Sam. And maybe Jim, after his ex found out, if Faye had been convincing when Sam was left with her.

I hope you're right, but it seems to me that the characters Jeph has gotten bored with have worked at shop, from the girl who was there at the start of the comic, to Raven, to Penny and Cosette being unseen for months, etc. Hanners doesn't need the job and I agree with those who say that she will shit on Dora for this move and possibly quit in protest/solidarity. Dale and Marigold's arc don't necessitate his being in the coffeeshop just as Amir and Natalie's arc didn't necessitate their being in Nat's apartment that she shared with Steve's redheaded ex after she was put on a bus.
If, as others predicted, Dora and Tai fight over this, it's likely they'll break up, severing another coffeeshop tie, and I could see Marten also coming down hard on Dora for this and deciding to cool his heels at Secret Bakery, especially now that he's over Padma and probably won't have any lingering sadness about this.
So while you make a good point, there are lots of ways to write around CoD being a focal point, and it could be that Jeph wants to take the QCverse and storyline in a different direction and center it back on Faye and Marten.
