Farideh:
Dora, Dora, Dora... You'd think that, as a business owner, she'd be better at listening to people. Otherwise everyone would walk away with the wrong coffee order.
I can see this coming back to haunt Marigold in the future, unless someone manages to set Dora straight (fast!)
I kinda want that t-shirt, even though only 50% of the text applies to me (the first half). Is that a good enough reason?
awkwardness:
--- Quote from: dutchrvl on 04 May 2021, 10:08 ---I see a lot of replies here to the extent of "Hanners has a shit-ton of money", but has it ever actually been established taht Hanners herself has that much money?
I've read all of QC a few times now, and granted it has been quite a while I did a complete read-through, but I don't recall the above being established. Yes she has very, very wealthy parents, but we should all know that that doesn't automatically mean Hanners has a lot of money herself.
She did very early on comment on having more than sufficient to live on, but if I recall correctly that was more because she was living very simply with minimal furniture and saved most of what she made from counting things. EVen though she got WInslow a chassis and went on a long trip, I don't think it's enough to assume she is filthy rich herself.
Unless I forgot that fact being established somewhere, in which case I have wasted 5 minutes writing a pointless post :D

She is the sole heir of two powerful and extremely rich businesspeople. At minimum she has a huge trust fund set aside for her at birth, complete with stock in the company, access to company properties(vacation homes, private jets, the station!), rights to use company resources, and other things. She only has to work because of her mind needing the distraction, it's therapeutic more than anything.
Basically, she's the QC equivalent of Lisa, Reed, Erin, or Eve Jobs or Jennifer, Rory, or Phoebe Gates. She has a LOT of wealth, but chooses to not use it due to her own reasons.
flondrix:
If Hanners had access to unlimited wealth, raising the money for May's new body would have been less of an issue.
As for the Gates kids, hasn't Bill arranged for them to not be spending their adult lives in the lap of luxury?
At least, some famous rich people have, I thought the Gates were among them.
Farideh:
Having access to wealth doesn't mean immediate access. Also, Hanners doesn't strike me as the type to just throw money at a problem like she's an affluent fairy. When it came to May's new body, she was asked to contribute, which is what she did.

That all seems speculative. Got a link?
