‘I Did Write It’: Waiter Admits Faking Viral Racist Note On Receipt
The Daily Caller ^ | 07/23/18 | Peter Hasson

Posted on 07/23/2018 7:40:41 PM PDT by Enlightened1

A Texas waiter who claimed to have been stiffed by a racist customer now admits he made the whole thing up.

Saltgrass Steak House waiter Khalil Cavil went viral after posting a Facebook picture of a racist note that Cavil claimed a customer had left on the receipt, in lieu of a tip.

“I don’t tip terrorist,” the note read, alongside a circle of Cavil’s name.

Cavil’s Facebook post racked up thousands of shares and earned sympathetic coverage in The Washington Post and HuffPost, which were forced to post corrections atop their stories on Monday after Cavil admitted he fabricated the viral note.

“I did write it,” Cavil told the Odessa American, a local Texas paper, on Monday. “I don’t have an explanation. I made a mistake. There is no excuse for what I did.”

Cavil’s admission came after Saltgrass — which at first banned the offending customer for life — admitted that its investigation found the waiter had faked the note.

“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,” Saltgrass COO Terry Turney said in a statement.

“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.” (RELATED: Journalist Tricked Into Spreading Hoax Trump-Inspired Attack [VIDEO])

We need to start keeping a record of these.

“Falsely accusing someone of racism is equaling disturbing”

But only one of the two things violates a commandment.

How about no? I'd rather have some cash to dine elsewhere after they jumped the gun and believed the waiter. Though I might come back eventually if they get their act together.

What a self hating moron. He even writes himself hate notes in case he forgets that he sucks.

“Cavil is no longer employed at Saltgrass, officials said declining to say how they found out the story was not true.”

Customer should sue the waiter and restaurant.

The customer was falsely accused of being a racist and his reputation was harmed. I know I would want to sue. Lessons need to be learned.

The percentage of these so-called “racist” events from alleged white supremacists that ultimately are proven to be HOAXES is a staggeringly big number.

He knows why he did it. Hes lying again in his non-apology apology.

He did itto further slam white people, people he hates. He wants to stir up racial hatred and since he in his real life doesn’t experience any, makes it up and then blames innocent people for it, and he gets to be a faux herovictim by black racist hate groups and the libtard media. He helps push the agenda they love to push.

Hold out for the "plus."

"'I'll take it!'?? Who told you to take it? I didn't tell you to take it! I wanted to see what came after the 'plus'! Steak isn't hard to get. I can get my own steak!"
