Santa’s “helper” has meltdown at mall in Merrillville, flips out at mom, children

(Darrin Wright/95.3 MNC)

An employee working at Santa’s booth in the Southlake Mall wasn’t so jolly when interacting with a customer and had to be escorted out of the mall.

The employee had a “meltdown” said witnesses and was screaming and trying to grab a customer.

The customer posted a video of the incident Sunday night, saying a manager “flipped out” after a lady brought her children to get their picture with Santa and asked the manager why the online price was $50 but they were charged $60 when they got to the mall.

In the video a mall security guard is interviewing the employee and the customer, and the person filming then circles around to get a better view, saying “I just want to see your face because you’re a disgusting…”

Then the employee gets angry and charges at the person taking the video, shoving through the fencing that marks off area where people can get photos with Santa and screams for the person to, “get the hell away,” from them, said the Times of Northwest Indiana.

Witnesses say the employee also lost her temper and screamed and cursed at the mom and two young children who tried to see Santa.

On Monday, the mall said that what happened was unacceptable, and that the employee was removed from the property.
