What ? Anyone got any evidence for that ?

There are two threads of evidence - Firstly, Penny is the only member of staff who has called Faye out when she becomes abusive. Secondly, when Dora made Faye assistant manager, Penny offered to quit immediately.
Personally, I wouldn't say Penny "can't stand" Faye - She wouldn't work at CoD if it was that bad. However, I would say that Penny has the worst relationship with Faye of all the members of staff.

Pretty much every Faye and Pen-Pen interaction ever. She tried to walk out and quit when Faye became assistant manager. And I don't think it was a joke.

Agreed. "Can't stand" might be strong, but almost all of their interactions are antagonistic. Even the one mini-arc that had just the two of them outside of CoD (Penny rousting Faye from bed to go work out) was rife with insults and needling that seemed - to me at least - a bit less jocular than how Faye and Dora would rag on each other. And I don't think Penny or Cosette was kidding when they immediately said "I quit." Obviously, they were talked out of it, but in the moment that they said it, I think they were sincere.
miados:
being friends with your boss/employees can be good and enjoyable but it can also be harsh and hurt emotionally when things that need to happen happen. I mean some things are alright. Telling them they are getting a raise, but telling them they have to work this weekend, they aren't getting a bonus this year, their job is being outsourced, so many other things can be awful to tell your friend and because it was you that told them they connect it to you and as someone they see outside of work it lingers a lot longer than it would otherwise.
Now what if your friend had problems, but they kept it seperate from work for a long time. Not the best comparison, but lets say someone worked at a support hotline for people that were (trigger potential idk) raped. And the person answering the calls has had that experience, but managed to not linger on it almost instantly because hey different people handle things differently. Now they can be good because they experienced it, but also they need to know not everyone operates the same way. The first time they said to the calling rape victim something like "You are still freaking out three years later? Suck it up and move on" they would probably be fired because even in places where certain topics/things aren't seen as unprofessional. (in this case talking about rape because not many places would talk about that super openly) there are still rules to follow.
The hard part is in the small businesses like COD well you connect with those you work with in a similar reason why you befriended those you went to school with. You are together for a long time consantly so you connnect. Especially the boss who would have to deal with them all. Heck they would probably be more picky about hiring people they can get along with even if that person isn't the most qualified. I mean %#@%@ I know i probably would. You use running dungeons and dragons to show leadership and problem solving skills. bonus points in the interview. You talk about your love of twilight and fifty shades of gray you better hope you are my only applicant.
bah I am rambling stupidly. I'll shut up now.

Marten: Oh no, not this again!
--- End quote ---
If Claire didn't already know the Faye backstory (they revealed that to her when they were all on the couch before the "paddling," right?) then this would be the perfect time for her to reveal that her anger at infidelity stems from when her dad left her family...
...because he had another family in secret, with another wife, and even two other daughters! The last Claire heard, he was still living with that other family in Georgia, or whatever it was. She hadn't checked up on him in a long time, because she was so angry. All she knew that he was going by the last name "Whit..." something. Whitman. or Whitacre. Whitaker. That's it. Whitaker.
And then Claire can say: "Marten, why are you looking at me like that?" and then his head explodes. :psyduck:

Claire wouldn't live that down. Seriously.
(click to show/hide)I doubt she'd even live to get outside the apartment, but that's a different story
Thankfully, that won't happen. Even if that was the case, Claire does know that Faye's last name is Whitaker and that one shouldn't really mess with the Pugnacious Peach right now.
Although it'd be more than enough reason to put the extra line on his tombstone like FayeMom wanted to.
