I've been in my grocery store early on Valentine's Day a few years in
the past and each time I saw some guy buying just flowers and paying
whatever (high price) because he forgot or put it off. LOL.

No doubt, the inflated price is a better option than having the
wife/girlfriend get mad that they forgot. Been there, done that myself
(but not that last minute).

In real life, the grocery stores that sell flowers could really take
advantage of the last minute situation. Starting about 6pm on
February 13 until maybe 10am on the 14th. They could almost name their
price for a dozen roses. If I owned a florist shop, I would be tempted
to keep my store open all night, that night. heheh The
husbands/boyfriends that wait that long are usually pretty desperate.
