Khalil Cavil was working at the Saltgrass Steak House in Odessa when he received the note written on the check for one of his tables. “We don’t tip terrorist,” it said, with a circle drawn around the word “Khalil,” on the $108 check.
“At the moment I didn’t know what to think nor what to say, I was sick to my stomach.” Cavil wrote on Facebook. “I share this because I want people to understand that this racism, and this hatred still exists.”
Last night at work I received this note from one of my tables. At the moment I didn’t know what to think nor what to say, I was sick to my stomach. 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!Cavil said he was named after one of his father’s best friends, who served in the military with him. He has no Middle Eastern background and is not a Muslim. In fact, Cavil is a Christian who will study theology at Dallas Baptist next year, the Odessa American reports.
“We stand by and support our employee. Racism of any form is unacceptable and we have banned this customer from returning to our establishment.” Terry Turney, COO of Saltgrass said in a statement
