express checkout lane snotted at me that it was for valentines only
You have GOT to be kidding! That's just...just... I have no words for how INSANE that is!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
We get paid about two weeks after the end of the pay period. For example: this payperiod ends tomorrow - we'll get paid for it on the 28th. And we'll get paid for the next payperiod on March 15th.
Huh. Now I don't feel so bad.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
If it's really a hassle, can you choose to get paid by check on payday rather than via the so-called convenience of direct deposit?
(I've also waited three weeks for a paycheck. Oh, that was no fun. And then the day I got paid my ATM card didn't work and I couldn't deposit the check...I cried to the bank lady.)

Thrive to spite them
Valentine's only check out line? WTF ! I'd be calling the manager to complain, especially after being stuck behind Crazy Cat Lady.

Yeah. Because apparently making sure the one other guy in the lane was able to get out swiftly with his $3 single rose is more important than relieving the backup of four-cart deep grocery lanes where people are spending high double or low triple digits each.
I'm going back after work tonight and having a sit-down with their manager.

If that happened to me, I'd just stay put until summer, I swear.
You know what helped? The people who kept stopping to point and laugh. I am capable of superhuman power when thoroughly enraged.

Seriously, send a complaint. They are very cathartic!
(I've sent about 5 complaints in the last 2 weeks)
ION, my legs are itching me like crazy because the rain soaked through my 2 layers.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Weather here is good, still.
As for complaints, I've been bombarding my COBRA and my prescription services with them, and my voice mail says everything's resolved. But because of the migraine which is now making it hard to see, I'm putting off verifying that.
Matt, when the cashier said it was Valentine's only, how did s/he decide what was appropriate for the season? Beeyotch.

I'm guessing cards, chocolates, flowers, and balloons, though what happens if someone is buying one of those and a food item is anyone's guess. I should have just said "this is a Valentine's Day chicken, and Valentine's Day tomatoes—see, they're red?"
