Steakhouse Customer Banned for Racist Note to Waiter – Then the Truth Comes Out

By The Blaze. A waiter at a Texas steakhouse made national news when he said a customer left a racist note on his receipt, but the truth has since come out and it’s drastically different from what the waiter claimed. . .

The note supposedly read, “we don’t tip terrorist [sic],” and circled the name of the server, which is “Khalil.” . . .

After making national news, [Khalil] Cavil [the waiter] admitted the story was a hoax.

“I did write it,” Cavil said Monday. “I don’t have an explanation. I made a mistake. There is no excuse for what I did.” . . .

“I’m sorry. I deeply made a huge, big mistake,” Cavil said. “And I’m in the process of getting the help that I need.” (Read more from “Steakhouse Customer Banned for Racist Note to Waiter – Then the Truth Comes Out” HERE)

Saltgrass Coo, Waiter Says Racism Story Made Up

By OA Online. he Odessa waiter whose story about being called a terrorist by a customer spurred national attention last week now admits it was all a hoax.

The waiter, Khalil Cavil, 20, admitted he wrote the racist note himself in a Monday interview with the Odessa American, where he apologized to a reporter “because I did lie to you.” . . .

Cavil’s call followed a press release from Saltgrass Steak House revealing the hoax. Cavil had lied about receiving the note calling him a terrorist while working at the restaurant on July 14.

Terry Turney, COO of Saltgrass, issued this: “After further investigation, we have learned that our employee fabricated the entire story. The customer has been contacted and invited back to our restaurant to dine on us. Racism of any form is intolerable, and we will always act swiftly should it occur in any of our establishments. Falsely accusing someone of racism is equaling disturbing.”

Cavil claimed he was left no tip and that “we don’t tip terrorist” was written on the receipt. Cavil had said he hoped the post would spur conversation “about this hatred that is still going on, that is still here and prevalent. I just wanted people to understand that.” (Read more from “Saltgrass Coo, Waiter Says Racism Story Made Up” HERE)
