--- Quote from: Nigel on 18 Jun 2018, 06:32 ---I agree that Spookybot seemed like a cheap shortcut, but Faye getting fired bothered me more from a consistency standpoint. Dora bought beer (and pizza) for all the employees on the clock and encouraged Faye's attitude with customers. I get that it had to happen for (obvious and major) plot reasons, but it didn't seem to 'fit', imo.

But there's a difference between buying a couple of beers and some pizza to have with your friends/employees and then there's an employee (and your assistant manager) consistently coming into work drunk, bringing alcohol into work with the intention of drinking on the job because she's going through a bad break up. The former is supervised and during a quiet time in the day, the latter is screaming "accident-and-lawsuit-waiting-to-happen". Bear in mind that Faye was not only endangering herself, but potentially any customer and Dora's livelihood. Most coffee places do have machines that can crush coffee beans or roast them or produce extremely hot steam.
Yeah, the members of staff at Coffee of Doom might have had a swig at work on occasion, but Faye came in shitfaced and about to continue her drinking session from the night before. Dora was protecting herself, her employees and any customers from drunken Faye.

Dinosaurs might have danced for mates
So picture this, T-Rexes doing the flamingo mating dance:

I agree that Dora needed to fire her, and that Faye was at that point a risk to herself and others. But as I recall, it happened at most twice. Admittedly there could have been other occasions that happened off screen, but I feel describing it as consistent is slightly unfair on Faye. She f*cked up and there needed to be consequences, but it never got to the point of being habitual at work.
Neko_Ali:
Actually, yes it did. She was showing up drunk at work all the time and drinking her way through work at the end. Dora confronted her, Faye said she would stop then immediately started sneaking behind Dora's back about it.
