Santa?

Part Time / Seasonal Help Needed

Santa Claus is Coming to Town, and he needs your help!

Cherry Hill Photo Enterprises, Inc. runs the Santa Photo Set in local malls across Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

Looking for someone to play Santa Claus in a local mall in Merrillville, IN. Must enjoy working with children. No prior experience is required, but helpful. We train all employees.

Looking for a Natural Bearded Santa, with a beard length of 4 to 6 inches. Or a costume Santa (we will provide the beard ) and costume.

....
 
I could be mistaken, but this seems to me to be asking for trouble.  I think that these places need to bite the bullet and require all Santa's and helpers and elves to pay for state and federal limited criminal history background check before application and hiring.  The cost is around $35, which could be added as a signon bonus upon hiring.  Also ... natural beard of that length.  Let's see ... Grandpas, weird uncles and motorcylists.  That's it!  I think they really need to rethink that one.
