What's he gonna do about it, finish him off again? That clearly hasn't worked.
EDIT - I just thought of something, he's a bird, why's he hanging out in jizz when he can just fly? That's what does it, this comic now doesn't make any sense.

The thing is, it doesn't matter if it was in America or Europe or South Africa, Faye was fired for being in breach of contract. She was drinking on the job. That's universally something that everyone can be fired for. I've worked in bars and even if someone buys you a drink, you have to leave it until the end of shift or when the bar closes.

Funny, it's just about the opposite at pretty much every bar that I have ever frequented. Not only the bartenders, but frequently the kitchen and wait staff take shots when it's slow. Granted, that's a potential liability, but it is still common practice. Even the one time when I was working in a coffee shop and morning shift complained about what I did (or did not) do the night before, when I came in to get something to kill the hangover, I just told them to talk to the boss because he got pissed with me. I think with Dora and Faye, it's the betrayal of trust rather than simply the boozing at work, since CoD seems to have a fair amount on hand.
CasAttack:
I'm amazed at how many people are condemning Dora. Really, it is very simple: you don't drink at work.
Someone made a point about them being young and immature, which I disagree as Dora has been running her own business which is not something just anyone without adult scruples can pull off.
Someone mentioned drinking on the job as a norm in some places, but even ignoring the obvious fact that they're in a coffee shop and not a bar, the fact that many professional bars frown on bartenders and the like drinking with clientele, Faye was DRUNK and ignored the previous response of "no" when she asked point blank if she could have a drink at work.
Faye just was handed responsibility and massive amounts of trust in terms of a promotion the likes of which Dora has never made before. It's probably hitting Dora doubly hard because she might be feeling now that even promoting ANYONE was a bad idea, let alone an employee she trusted who had experience.
Faye was in the wrong. There's just no way around that. Even the youngest and dumbest of employees I've seen in past jobs knew not to drink at work or show up drunk.

See, even then the booze at CoD could have been big trouble for Dora, as there shouldn't be any on the premises without a liquor license and from the looks of it, Dora doesn't have it. Now, one might say it was a prop for a few jokes, but there was no way Dora was going to risk her livelihood by actually letting Faye drink.
This hasn't been the first time Faye was drinking on the job - Raven caught her drinking (this might have been right before Faye started therapy). I imagine if Raven had told Dora back then, she would have given Faye a severe dressing down (she probably wouldn't be able to fire her on the second hand account of another employee). But how many times would Faye have to be caught with a bottle to her lips before she had gotten fired? Yes, it was a betrayal of trust for Faye and Dora, but it was also Faye possibly screwing with Dora's livelihood.
explicit:
We talked about this before, but simply put, the legal issues with a business having a drunk employee are staggering. If Faye hurt anyone (purposefully or accidentally) while working that day CoD could have been sued out of existence for negligence.
