As I have noted many times, the Muslim victimhood industry is a big business. It brings you the adoration of the establishment media, financial rewards, and in the Obama era, you might even have scored a visit with the President of the United States. And so now even non-Muslims are getting into the act. Victimhood is such a coveted status these days that we have white people such as Rachel Dolezal and Shaun King posing as black so as to gain the mantle of noble martyr status, and now a non-Muslim who happens to be named Khalil, after a friend of his father, has claimed to have faced hatred as an accused “terrorist.”
What an insane age we live in, which lauds con artists and cowards, and demonizes the genuinely courageous and truthful.
“Waiter who faked ‘racist’ receipt the latest to use shocking claims to get Facebook love,” by Michael Bartiromo, Fox News, July 24, 2018:
You can’t believe everything you read, especially if it’s scrawled across a restaurant receipt.
A waiter at a Saltgrass Steak House in Odessa, Texas, confirmed Monday that he made up a story about one of the restaurant’s patrons leaving him a “racist” receipt.
“I did write it,” Khalil Cavil, 20, told the Odessa American of the note on the receipt, which read “We don’t tip terrorist.”
“I don’t have an explanation,” Cavil said. “I made a mistake. There is no excuse for what I did.”
The COO of the Saltgrass Steak House, where Cavil works, had initially banned the diner from returning to the restaurant, but offered a free meal to the customer upon learning of the hoax.
Cavil originally shared a photo of the receipt to Facebook earlier this month, claiming that a customer wrote the message and refused to leave a gratuity. He further claimed that the patron circled his first name — Khalil — which had been printed at the top of the receipt.
“At the moment I didn’t know what to think nor what to say, I was sick to my stomach,” the 20-year-old had written in the now-deleted Facebook post, explaining that he shared the post to start a discussion about the racism and hatred that “still exists” in the country….
But the Saltgrass Steak House, which had initially defended Cavil and banned the patron from returning to the restaurant, had to apologize and offer the wronged customer a free meal.
“After further investigation, we have learned that our employee fabricated the entire story,” Saltgrass Steak House COO Terry Turney said Monday, in a statement to the Odessa American. “The customer has been contacted and invited back to our restaurant to dine on us.”
Cavil also offered to return tip money that was sent to him by sympathetic Facebook users, who offered up the cash in lieu of the tip he claimed he didn’t receive.
“I’m sorry. I deeply made a huge, big mistake,” Cavil told the Odessa American. “And I’m in the process of getting the help that I need.”
