[[Payday]], a new "big box" warehouse store, opens in [[Lawndale]]. Various characters are drawn to it:[[Jane]] needs a new supply of Gummi Bears for her sculpture because [[Tom]] inadvertantly chowed down on her supply; [[Daria Morgendorffer|Daria]] needs a new bootlace because [[Quinn]] stole hers to replace the purse string she broke; [[Kevin]] and [[Brittany]] need to get barbeque sauce for the [[Lawndale High]] cookout being held at the Thompson house; the [[Fashion Club]] needs sunscreen; and [[Trent]] and [[Jesse]] just happen to be going there, with Tom tagging along and hoping for the opportunity to make amends with Jane. A long and degrading search for items takes place, but not quite as degrading as [[Anthony DeMartino|Mr. DeMartino]] battling [[Martha Johannsen|Mrs. Johannsen]] for free junk food samples. |

[[Payday]], a new "big box" warehouse store, painfully modeled after Sam's Club or BJ's Wholesale, opens in [[Lawndale]]. Due to a bizarre chain of events involving a pre-episode fight between [[Tom Sloane]] and [[Jane Lane|Jane]], [[Quinn Morgendorffer|Quinn's]] theft of [[Daria Morgendorffer|Daria's]] shoelace, and various occurrences at a barbeque at [[Kevin Thompson]]'s house, almost every single major character winds up shopping there, getting considerably more than they were looking for. |
|||
Back at the barbeque, [[Timothy O'Neill|Mr. O'Neill]] (at [[Angela Li|Ms. Li's]] urging) tries talking to [[Doug Thompson|Mr. Thompson]] about Kevin's grades, but all Mr. Thompson is interested in doing is pressuring Mr. O'Neill into passing Kevin along, bad grades or no. Things eventually deteriorate into a brawl when [[Janet Barch|Ms. Barch]] comes to Mr. O'Neill's defense after Mr. Thompson tries to rough him up. |
|||
At Payday, Daria and Jane find the items they need and unexpectedly run into [[Andrea]], whose parents made her take a job there as a stock clerk. (She expects Daria and Jane to cut her down "like they always do" but they reassure Andrea that "they never saw her", which elevates them a notch or two in her eyes.) Tom doesn't find Jane, but he does get driven to distraction by Trent's and Jesse's much-too-laid-back attitudes. The whole sordid affair is topped off by a power outage caused by Mr. DeMartino's struggle with a security guard over the free food, causing everyone to be trapped in the store until power can be restored. |
