Some dude named Khalil posted a story to his facebook about how a HORRIBLE RACIST had left a mean note instead of a tip on his check.
The MSM was quick to jump on it. They LIVE for this stuff.
It got picked up by CBS News:

“I hope that the people who wrote me that note find Jesus and I hope that he can experience the same love that I’ve experienced from Jesus Christ.” Khalil Cavil is turning an incident meant to tear him down, into one that will build him up. https://t.co/qNKr2XFmJA

This little snake sat there and talked about Jesus’ love knowing ALL ALONG he falsified a fake racist note from a customer.
What a freaking scumbag.
According to KENS 5:
A server at a steakhouse in Texas made up the viral story about a customer leaving him a racist note on a receipt, restaurant management announced late Monday afternoon.
Khalil Cavil posted on Facebook last week that a customer at Saltgrass Steak House in Odessa, Texas, wrote zero in for his tip and put a note at the top of their receipt that said, “We don’t tip Terrorist.”
His story quickly gained international attention and the restaurant’s corporate office said it had banned the customer responsible.
Now they say they’ve learned the whole thing was made up.
“After further investigation, we have learned that our employee fabricated the entire story,” Terry Turney, COO of Saltgrass Steak House, said in a statement.
“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,” Turney’s statement read.
I’m sure that customer is THRILLED to be invited to the restaurant that accused him of racism. What a nice, fun time.
After the company’s statement was released, Kavil admitted to the Odessa American that he wrote the note himself and apologized to their reporter “because I did lie to you.”
“I don’t have an explanation. I made a mistake. There is no excuse for what I did,” Kavil told the Odessa America.
Officials told the paper that Kavil is no longer employed at the steakhouse.
I have an explanation: The customer probably skipped out on tipping him. Seeing as he’s the kind of slimeball that cries RAAAACISM! and then talks about his love for the Lord, I wouldn’t be shocked if his service wasn’t WORTHY of a tip (though I tip everyone at least 15% regardless of how awful they are. Unless they’re like… horrific.)
Anyway, they left the tip spot blank, he got sh*tty, and he wrote in the racist note himself knowing it would get him some sympathy and attention.
Heck. maybe they DID tip him in cash, and he felt like being a jerk anyway.
Of course the story that went VIRAL is now being majorly swept under the rug.
But of course the original gets thousands of retweets and shares but the story uncovering how this was fake gets no attention whatsoever https://t.co/0Ntaw19u49
