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."

Khalil says people have made assumptions about his name before, but he doesn't have any Middle Eastern roots. So the people making assumptions based on his name, assumed wrong.

"My dad was in the military and a buddy that he was very close to, served with him...Khalil was killed in an accident and so my dad just named me after him, one of his best friends," he went on to say.

Khalil shared a photo of the receipt to Facebook Saturday night, and since then it has received more that 1,500 likes and more than 1,000 shares. The waiter says he shared the image because he wants tor remind people that racism and hatred still exists.

"It was not about the money. It was never about the money, it's about shedding the light on an issue I feel very passionate about, " Khalil said.

Even though he acknowledges the racially charged note, he says his faith in Jesus Christ is encouraging him to move forward despite his negative experience.

"I just had to think...what would Jesus do in this situation," he said.

After catching wind of the incident many restaurant goers and others who were touched by the post, have been sending Khalil tips of their own. Facebook users even found an app where they could send money to Khalil directly and contribute to the tip he was denied Saturday.

A statement released by Terry Turney, Chief Operating Officer of Saltgrass, reads: "We stand by and support our employee. Racism of any form is unacceptable and we have banned this customer from returning to our establishment."

Racism and bigotry in a town named after a Nazi escape organisation?

Shocking.

I'm pretty sure Odessa was named after the city in Russia.

Ukraine actually.

Well, give it some time.

Faith in Jesus Christ, huh? Well, I bet you this Khalil guy believes in some kind of brown skinned, middle eastern Jesus, like all of those Allah people. Everybody knows Jesus looks like Barry Gibb.

I suspect @Dinner eats his steak rare because he doesn't like it when it gets too dark.

Edit: whoops, pulled a @Dinner

ISWYDT

Please do not tag me in threads started by the shit stain, Chup. I put him on ignore for a reason; namely that he is a waste of space. Thank you.

I really @Dinner'ed that up.

Ok @Dinner

I love the logic of these customers. They won't tip because they're scared of the waiter but will put something he gives them into their bodies.

Trying this bullshit once again eh? As I told you the previous half a dozen told you claimed to have had me on ignore, if you genuinely had me on ignore the threads I start wouldn’t be accessible to you. Drunk dumbass.

I actually started this thread deliberately to catch you out because I noticed you’d stopped dumb repping me, which meant another round of fake ignore bullshit was in it's way.

Don’t worry, you’ll break sooner or later like you did the last half dozen times when you unwittingly carried on posting in threads I started (like this one), probably while drunk, and then curiously kept responding to my posts on and off after a while. In the meantime I’ll go on calling out your bigotry until it stops.

Technically if someone tags @Dinner, it will show up as an alert in his dashboard and give him access to click into this thread.

But @Dinner asked us to stop tagging him, so we shouldn't tag @Dinner anymore.

Really? I see @Dinner as more of a well done with fries and ketchup kinda guy.

Meh I still think @Dinner is faking it like the other times. We'll see.

I'm going to be honest with you: I like my steak well done. Maybe it's because I don't trust meat that isn't fully cooked, or quite possibly I've just never had a really properly made steak, but the few times I've eaten steak it's always been well done. I don't do ketchup, though, not on steak.

I don't think so. He doesn't want it to be to wet.

I laughed.

And now I'm going to hell.

I mean, more so.

well done?
we can't be friends any more.

It does.

Yeah, I don't get out much, so when I *do* get to try new things (like when I went to Chicago and got to try Chicago pizza) it's totally different from what I expect.

My parents were always Medium Rare (in reality closer to Medium - most restaurants are half a shade off) so that's what I grew up ordering. I used to put A1 on my steaks until I was 12 or 13 and me and my Mom had gone to New Orleans for some reason and one of her cousins had driven over from Baton Rouge. Anyway we were at Nola's and I made the mistake of asking for steak sauce. The head chef (not Emeril that night) came out of the kitchen to explain to me exactly where my steak came from, how it had been aged, prepared and cooked and told me it didn't need steak sauce or it was on him.

That, ah, that moment has stuck with me. If a steak needs sauce it isn't worth paying for.

So you got a proper @Dinner that night?

I for one will respect @Dinner 's wishes to not be tagged in Chup's threads

Pork grinds for our token middle eastern el chup.

I agree. No more tagging @Dinner @Dinner @Dinner @Dinner @Dinner @Dinner @Dinner @Dinner @Dinner @Dinner @Dinner @Dinner @Dinner @Dinner @Dinner @Dinner @Dinner @Dinner @Dinner @Dinner @Dinner @Dinner @Dinner @Dinner @Dinner @Dinner @Dinner @Dinner @Dinner @Dinner @Dinner @Dinner @Dinner @Dinner @Dinner in El Chup threads.

I don't care for shoe leather. But, if that's what you like to eat, more power to you.

My wife and just about everyone else have always been surprised that I like most meats rather dry. Needless to say I absolutely love beef or venison jerky.
