==Summary==
[[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.
 
==Andrea's outburst==
 
A key moment is [[Andrea]]'s reaction to Daria and Jane. After spending the whole episode avoiding them, she lashes out: "Now you can make fun of the pathetic goth chick whose parents make her work at a crappy job in a stupid warehouse store. Go on, cut me up like you do everyone else."
 
*While [[Andrea]]it's reactionclear toAndrea Dariais andprojecting Janeher inresentment thistowards episodethe isjob interestingonto inthem, thather it"cut me up" jab might reflect the attitude theirthat Daria and Jane's fellow students in general have toward them, - namely that they expect the pair to cruelly insult and humiliate anyone who crosses their path. Of course she could just be projecting her own resentment toward her job upon them.
 
==Trivia==
Line 19 ⟶ 25:
 
* We meet Kevin's parents [[Doug Thompson|Doug]] and [[Charlene Thompson|Charlene]], who first appeared in the 1998 book "[[The Daria Database]]": the episode uses their look, their age, and Charlene's issues with Brittany. "Database" was written by this season's story editor, [[Peggy Nicoll]].
 
* [[Andrea]]'s reaction to Daria and Jane in this episode is interesting in that it might reflect the attitude their fellow students in general have toward them, namely that they expect the pair to cruelly insult and humiliate anyone who crosses their path. Of course she could just be projecting her own resentment toward her job upon them.
