That's a fascinating question and it reveals just how sophisticated and human-like the AIs minds actually are. Bubbles was so focussed on facing her fears and her insecurities that she didn't have sufficient processing power to run any kind of checklist about the things she needed for the trip; she had to focus all her resources on just forcing herself to get her coat and go out with Faye.
In some ways, that's not to different to how the same process occurs in humans. The data is there and, if there's a sufficient associative 'nudge' it will pop into the conscious mind. However, if our focus is elsewhere, we miss things like this.
NemesisDancer:
I'd be interested to see the customers' view on the changes to the cafe. In earlier comics you'd sometimes get people coming in specifically for the quirk of being sassed/abused by the staff (or to spar with Faye, in Angus's case) so I'm curious to see whether they'd welcome the more friendly atmosphere or share Faye's view that the cafe's appeal is in its negativity.

Today's, incidentally, is relevant: "Bubbles doesn't have a credit card, she finds the concept offensive"

Where did you find that?

Directly under the bottom right panel of the comic.
