Khalil Cavil
Khalil Cavil is a Texas waiter who fabricated a racist story that landed him on front pages but it has now been reported that he made up the whole thing.
Cavil sold himself as a victim of racism after he made public an alleged note left to him by a customer at the restaurant he works. The note which he posted to his social media read, ‘we don’t tip terrorist’ also circled his name.

Cavil who until recently worked at Saltgrass Steak House –came clean after an investigation revealed it was Cavil the actual master mind behind it.
The COO of Saltgrass has invited back the customer who was falsely accused of writing the not –to dine for free.
Cavil had people from all over commenting about the fact that although he is a Christian –he was accused –according to the note –of being a Muslim –and how there is so much hatred still for Muslims.
