ODESSA, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) - A Saltgrass Steak House in Odessa, Texas has banned a customer after the customer left no tip on a $108 bill and wrote on it "We don't Tip Terrorist," and circled the server's name, Khalil according to the Odessa American.

Khalil Cavil posted what happened last Saturday on Facebook.

"I was sick to my stomach," upon seeing the receipt he said in his post. "I share this because I want people to understand that this racism, and this hatred still exists. Although, this is nothing new, it is still something that will test your faith. All day I've had to remind myself that Jesus died for these people too. I have decided to let this encourage me, and fuel me to change the world the only way I know how. So to all the haters out there, keep talkin, your only helping me step into my destiny!"

ODESSA,Texas (Big 2/Fox 24) - A waiter at Saltgrass Steak House in Odessa, is staying positive after experiencing racism on the job.

Khalil Cavil was waiting a table Saturday night, when the guests he had been serving denied him gratuity.

"My heart just dropped, I didn't know what to says or what to think in the moment but there's hurt there," Khalil said.

On the bill his customers left behind on the table, there is a large zero with a line scratched through it in the area meant for leaving a tip amount. At the top of the receipt, someone had written, "We don't tip terrorist."

Waiter stiffed out of tip on $108 bill after customer writes on receipt ‘We don’t tip terrorist’
July 19, 2018 Kent News Online




A forgiving waiter in Odessa, Texas is turning the other cheek despite a racist customer calling him a ‘terrorist.’ Khalil Cavil, 20, said he was stiffed out of a tip on a $108 bill over the weekend after the customer wrote on his receipt: ‘We don’t tip terrorist.’ Alongside the offensive missive, the patron circled Cavil’s first name, which means ‘friend’ in Arabic.

Cavil, who is black and was born in the US, took to Facebook to describe what happened at the Saltgrass Steak House on Saturday, writing: ‘At the moment I didn’t know what to think nor what to say, I was sick to my stomach.’

Despite the shocking incident, Cavil, who is earning money before heading off to Dallas Baptist University in the fall, said he hopes the posting can serve as a lesson. ‘I share this because I want people to understand that this racism, and this hatred still exists. Although, this is nothing new, it is still something that will test your faith.’

And instead of becoming angry, the junior college student has ‘decided to let this encourage’ him and ‘fuel me to change the world.’

Besides the obvious racism and bigotry, why would they trust a terrorist to serve food to them without er terrorizing them somehow?

They didn't report this to law enforcement to investigate the terrorist?

They didn't call the cops and say that a steak and beer looks like a weapon?

7. Update - The waiter in this story has admitted he fabricated this incident

Jul 2018

in one of the updated news reports I read he appoligised to the local reporters for his lies to them

The 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.”

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

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.

8. Followup:Waiter faked story that customer wrote 'We don't tip terrorist' on receipt, restaurant says
Mon Jul 23, 2018, 10:32 PM
Jul 2018

The Texas restaurant company which banned a customer after an employee’s story of a receipt scrawled with a racial epithet went viral said on Monday that it had parted ways with the employee and learned that the story was spurious.

“After further investigation, we have learned that our employee fabricated the entire story,” Terry Turney, the chief operating officer of Saltgrass steakhouses, 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.”

I’d imagine he’ll be fired, for bringing a bad light to his workplace.

They almost always get found out, and it's incredibly unhelpful in the long run. Such a brainless thing to do.
