Maine mall sacks rude Santa Claus
A mall in Maine has sacked Santa Claus after children and parents complained he was rude, grumpy.
SOUTH PORTLAND: Officials at the Maine Mall in South Portland say they re looking for a jollier Santa and hope to have him in place Thursday.
Jessica Mailhiot and her 6-year-old daughter, Chantel, went to see Santa this week. They tell WGME-TV (http://bit.ly/RpPkak ) he was rude and wouldn t let the girl sit on his lap when they said they didn t want to buy a $20 photo.
Chantel says when she asked Santa for an American Girl doll, he replied she d get an "American football." When the mom posted her story online, others shared similar experiences.
The station contacted the Santa, but he didn t want to comment.
