TheEvilDog:
I see this more as Dora realising that insulting customers was not going to be useful in the long run. Dora's been running Coffee of Doom for how long? Back when she was still in a Goth phase I suppose. Despite what people might think, Dora has grown somewhat and has gotten to a point where she's realised that she's making her own environment toxic and in turn that toxicity is coming back to her. Plus I would imagine that in a town like that, self-owned coffee-shops like Coffee of Doom are niche, especially compared to massive franchises like Starbucks, its already difficult enough as it is.
Look at the coffee-shop itself, the colours itself present a place that is warm and welcoming. It just looks like Dora is finally catching up to the image of Coffee of Doom she's been presenting for the past few years.
DashaBlade:
I'm actually a bit surprised that Dora didn't offer to sass Faye as a customer service perk.
Faye: It's just not right! This is Coffee of Doom, I want coffee AND doom!
Dora: Well, since it's you, we'll throw in some doom for 50 cents.

Notice that she said "raisin d'entree", which looks to me like a deliberate error, along the lines of "much grass" for "muchas gracias".
chaospersonified:
I don't know French especially, but wouldn't that translate as 'Reason for dinner?" I'm just thinking, since the correct version would mean 'reason for entering,' or something to that effect.

I noticed that upon reading it a second time. Has it always been that and I misread it the first time, or has Jeph modified it to make the sarcasm more clear?
