‘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])

Okay...

Falsely accusing someone of racism is equaling disturbing.

Oh, no. That is worse, I think. It compounds racism with a lie about who the offender is.

“I don’t have an explanation. I made a mistake. There is no excuse for what I did.”

A "mistake"? A "mistake" is forgetting to carry the one, when doing addition by hand. What this guy did was wrong, and he knew it at the time.

The restaurant needs to be put out of business, period.

And the coverage of the fact this was a fraud will be about 1% of the original coverage.

Penalty for false accusation should be double the penalty for the crime.

This goes for any hate crime or rape. A false accusation against an innocent person should just ruin your life. It should be a major societal taboo.

But there’s no crime. Even the note, if real, wouldn’t have been a criminal act.

But only one of the two things violates a commandment.

Both racist hatred and bearing false witness violate commandments.

He should definitely sue. Salt Grass is owned by Tillman Fertita (sp?), TV’s Billion Dollar Buyer. They’ve got the cash.

My default position when I hear of these is, ‘fake’ until I see evidence otherwise.

"Fire their ass and give the innocent customer free food for life."

Would you really want to eat food from the restaurant who labeled you a racist? I'd be afraid some other doofus they hired would do something to it. I'd tell them they can talk to my lawyer.
