We had dinner at one of our favorite restaurants on Martha’s Vineyard.
After dinner, I went to the owner, Jenna, who we’ve known for many years, to thank her for the wonderful meal.
I noticed that the T-shirt worn by the waitstaff was available. The shirt simply said “Chilmark Tavern - B.Y.O.B.”
(Since the Town of Chilmark is a “dry town” you have to bring your wine, etc. to the “tavern”.)
I took a T-shirt and reached for my wallet and Jenna smiled and said “Please take it and just wear it.”
A few days later, I was wearing the T-shirt and the general manager of our hotel said “Oh my, I love that shirt.”
I asked whether she had ever eaten at Chilmark Tavern. When she answered “No, but I’ve always wanted to..” Flo said “As a thank you for your hospitality, we’ll treat you to dinner there.”
And so, Jenna was right….just wear the shirt. And, as we all know, what goes around, comes around.”
