It's possibly cool (depending on the friend and the workplace) to pop in and say hi to a friend if you're in the neighborhood.
But to show up at the workplace of somebody you met briefly the night before to interrogate them is definitely not.
In general using a workplace to force a meeting with somebody is super rude. See, for example the Brothers McElroy segment on "Lady Zoos".

Tova:
Thanks for all the considered answers, everyone.
Penquin47:
Why are we comparing Momo's reaction to May to Momo's reaction to Bubbles?
When Momo met May, she treated the known criminal with hostility and contempt.
When Momo found out Bubbles was in the military, she was upset about the generalities of AI in the military.
VERY different scenarios there! She doesn't approve of being in the military OR being a criminal, but it's not like she's treating Bubbles with contempt for having a different opinion about that. And aside from asking "why did you do that", she's never made it about "Bubbles is a bad AI for joining the military". I think it's not entirely unfair to say that "May is a bad AI for committing crimes bad enough to have her in robot jail". Now that she knows May better and is seeing the effort May is making to turn herself around, she's behaving better.

My impression was that was not so much a comparison, more of an enumeration of Momo's faults. A judgement, one might say.
TheEvilDog:
You know, I get the feeling that it's going to be Momo coming out of this the worse for wear emotionally.
For what we've seen of Bubbles, she's got very much a (I believe) Spock like manner of speaking, there's no emotion, no contractions, very formal way of speaking. She's shut down emotionally and locking down. Just talking to Momo now won't break her, but I bet it's going to hurt Momo in the end.
