Prank Backfired
Me and one of my friends wanted to play a prank on this annoying guy that had been stalking another friend of ours that works as a waitress. Well actually there were 3 people in on the prank. The owner and chef of the restaurant encouraged us to do this because his waitress (our friend) had been complaining about this guy that always came into the restaurant, asked her out repeatedly, bought her unwelcomed gifts and then followed her home after her shift. So this was the joke: we went into the porn shop, bought all these sex toys, wrapped them, and then signed it to him from a "secret admiror". This would give him a taste of his own medicine. Well when he went into the restaurant and picked up his gift, he blamed it on another customer, and now our friend that owns the restaurant is mad at me and my friend for having one of his regulars upset. But it was HIS idea. I also found out that he thinks that I have a crush on the creep who was stalking the waitress. When I asked why I was told because I was one the ringleaders in the prank. I was furious and told everyone that it was a joke that went too far, and that I wished I hadnt gotten involved. How can I make things right? And why should I have to apologize because I wasnt the only one in on this.

because you WERE involved, every one else should apologise too. And his stalking is a reason to call the police, not pull dumb pranks.

what is the problem?
people hate you?
don't let that bring you down!
You didn't do anything wrong.
Talk about f***** idiots that hate people for no reason.
now someone hates you so for no reason and you want to apologize to them?
and some cook things you have a cruch on a stalker because he hates you?(for no reason at all?)
Just forget this whole thing,
IN fact, it never even happened!
And now you feel good.

Screw this! Your intentions were in the right place to begin with! Maybe this prank was not your best idea but hey, we all makemistakes. That stalker guy just happened to make a bigger more horrible one and u got him back. Good job!

I would apologize, if not to the creep, at least to the customer that was falsely accused. Whether the idea was yours or not, you did play a role in it. The owner of the restaurant also needs to step up to the plate. If a customer is harassing an employee of his, he has a responsibility to put a stop to it. I would also recommend that your friend (the waitress) file a complaint with the authorities against the guy that's harassing her. Since he has already followed her home, that's concern enough to bring it to the attention of the authorities. While he may just want a date with her, it's better to be safe than sorry in a case like this.

I think the owner was being very immature about this. Actually, I kind of think you all were, not that I'm saying you're immature--just the way you handled the situation. For future reference: when somebody is being stalked you call the police!
I don't think you'll be able to make things better right away. You may have to lay low and wait until it all blows over. If it doesn't blow over, you may have to find a new job. I know this seems harsh and I am not trying to discourage you. I think this guy is being way too hard on you. But to be honest, just from what you've said, he does not sound like a nice guy. He sounds like a real jerk. You may actually be better off finding a new job. And you shouldn't have to apologize. But sometimes we need to do things that we shouldn't have to. That's just the way the world works, sadly. Actually, I just thought of this. It sounds like you're being sexually harassed in your workplace which is highly illegal. You should probably report this.
