USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.
Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.
I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."
"They just come with the table, man."
They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.
This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.
I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.
"Did we…?"
"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."
Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.
My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."
Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.
I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.
Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.
I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.
Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.
@HCBrianSmith Was giving props to The Citadel for recruiting and keeping in state guys IN STATE. Unlike other D1 programs in our state. Not sure why the resentment of the statement lol. They can get JUCO guys from anywhere.

21/34 kids straight from in state high school. The other 13 are FROM South Carolina, just sent JUCO (95%in the state as well) Not sure the argument against the statement.

I’m so tired of this narrative….. Aiken does have phenomenal golf. But only if you’re in the top 2% or have phenomenal connections to get on. Stop making it seem like Aiken is a place for all people to enjoy the game of golf. AGC is as far as the average person can get.
