Tova:
Yes, indeed. This may seem like nitpicking, but it makes all the difference: Dora doesn't employ 3 people full-time, her business does.
I'm sure Claire would get paid if she was doing something for the cafe.
I am also quite sure that Claire would want her involvement in the wedding to be based on friendship, not a business relationship.
BenRG:
Well, it looks like Brun finally got her wish of being a bartender again! Which is good because, if Bubbles were to tell her that Faye is on a no-alcohol rule, she's the sort of personality who'd just be blankly no-debate about saying 'no' if Faye asks for a drink on the sly!
Claire is so wonderful with Tai and Dora here. It's entirely in-character that she's have pretty much already done all the Google legwork for the big day!
You know, this literally just occurred to me but Jeph may be indicating a big swerve in Claire's life plan here. What if she decides that she likes arranging events (and weddings in particular) so much that she decides to make a job of it before her library job comes through? Then, the library job comes through and she realises that she doesn't actually want it at all and seeing people happy on their big day is far more satisfying for her! It's a valid enough possibility!
Now, is Faye really going for a burrito disposal visit to the Porcelain Palace? Even if she is, she's going to have to face lots of temptations on her own!

I mean, Dora's a successful (enough) businesswoman who employs like 3 people full-time; Tai is a working librarian without a lot of expenses. Why wouldn't they be able to pay her at least a token sum?

Basically, Dora isn't that wealthy. CoD probably contains most of her assets and money in a form not easily turned to liquidity. Between Dora and Tai, the two are probably only barely above 'struggling to break even'. That said, I'm also wondering if this is Dora the businesswoman at work here: She's trying to get the best possible deal from Claire!
Is it cold in here?:
It's been a while since we got information about how Coffee of Doom is doing, but back when we did, Dora was fretting about its success and prospects.
Killspree:
Dora's comment on just selling Coffee of Doom and moving with Tai so easily 'Might' be taken as its only doing so-so.
Then again it may not... :D

I read it as "gin".
