Here is the item:
Danielle hated to see her brother Tim walk into the diner where she worked.
He always brought his obnoxious
friends, payed for his meal with pennies, and
then left huge puddles of ketchup
at his table.
The second verb, payed, is incorrect. As you know, this sentence requires the simple past. Pay is an irregular verb; paid is the correctly spelled form.
