TRVA123:
Really? You think Dora would tell private and embarrassing information about Faye to uninvolved third parties?
Dora is better than that. If Sam comes, all Dora has to say is that Faye isn't there. no big deal. After a while she might tell Sam that Faye doesn't work there anymore. No more details. that's it.
NilsO: Really? You really think that Boss Dora is soooo unsympathetic? I guess we just have different standards of what sympathetic means.

Marten: Oh no, not this again!

Pintsize: You're making progress, this one actually let you hit it. *gets hurled across the room. By Claire.*
P.S.: I know that's extremely bad taste. It's obviously not what I'd say, at least not in this situation.
I'm a bad person, am I?

Jeez dude, that's a low blow even by Pintsize standard :psyduck: :psyduck: :psyduck:
I'm gonna vote Dora for next week, fair bit of clean up/damage control needed on her side. Although Jeph does seem to enjoy writing Marten/Claire so we may well see more of them.

Nah, that can wait. Dora has developed into a very unsymphatic person when she is in "boss mode" (which is most of the time). I guess Hanners soon will quit. Penelope will be the new assistant manager. Dale and Cosette may continue, and Dora will need to hire one or two new employees. Because the Dora/Faye interaction was the central theme at CoD, I guess CoD will play a minor role from now on.

Don't think Hanners will quit, when Dora broke up with Marten she was working there and still stayed on. Cosette and Penelope won't be that surprised that Dora's finally had enough in their eyes, Dale I don't think has worked there long enough to take sides and so in my opinion won't be going anywhere (having said that he's had no trouble finding work in the past so if he did take Faye's side I can possibly see him quit, but think that's unlikely). Going to be interesting to see if Dora hires someone new or goes back to working the extra hours by herself, but judging that Faye was pretty much full time that's a lot to take on. If the former is true...new character p'haps?
...or May. Oh god, she'll be worse than Faye in customer relations.
Edited for strip references.
Gladstone:
I just meant, since Jim previously considered Faye a reliable babysitter, and Sam was in the habit of going to Coffee of Doom on her own to visit her instead of Dora, Dora may have chosen to (tactfully) let Jim know that Faye isn't working there anymore and, at least for the near future, may not be the most reliable person to watch a kid. Although Sam won't have any free time with school starting soon, so maybe it won't be an issue anymore.

To make CoD/Dora a minor part of the story? I think that is too much of a shift from the focus of QC since strip 500. I may be wrong, but I don't see Jeph doing this. I like Dora as a character in this series. I feel that dropping CoD and Dora from the story would cripple Faye's character development in this arc.
Neither character is the villain or the hero in this story arc; they are people doing people things. They are sometimes foolish and sometimes wise, and sometimes the foolish things we do lead us to wise realizations. As a reader, that is what I would like to see here. MAYBE their friendship is damaged beyond repair, but they can both learn from this experience and become better people because of it.
*steps off soap box*

Yeah, that would be a problem. No, not that Dora would inform Jim that Faye's not working there any more, that's fine - but telling Jim that Faye would make a bad babysitter (at least at the moment). Faye's problems are private, and Jim is a probable employer, at least as a side gig or while Faye's looking for a job. Faye should decide for herself if she's fit to be a babysitter right now, and tell Jim herself if she isn't.
