Use of pay dividends
Hi
Is the use of the idiom pay dividends natural here? I ask because the meaning is slightly literal and the idiom seems to lose its flavor (or figurative taste.)
A – What about your shop in the town?
B- Well, it’s finally paying dividends after the three-year long wait. [Finally giving some profits…]
Thanks,
Tom
