It might be better if Santa opened his sack to deliver the more traditional whupass: he always had a companion (like Krampus or Knecht Ruprecht) with him to beat the children, stuff them in a sack, and drag them to hell. Let's have a good old-fashioned Christmas!

Someone needs their sense of humour checked.

I mean, what the hell? "That kind of mindset"? Are you fucking high? You're assuming from a single sentence that this guy is some sort of raging paedophile? I know you are, why not just come out and say it instead of beating around the bush? People like you with your paranoid asshattery, that condemns the innocent for saying something completely innocuous, are the reason society is so fucked up these days.

I dunno, I think I would have gotten in trouble for saying something like that to a customer of any age as a cashier. I mean....it's kinda just not appropriate.

I once had a Santa (when I was an adult) tell me to come on over 'cause he'd give me a Christmas goose.
FUCKING HILARIOUS!

People need to get over it.
Have a sense of humor. christ.
Happy fucking hilidays. You got someone fired. Congrats.

Not a joke I find amusing, but at most I would just raise my eyebrows and walk away.

Way to spread the cheer! Fire Santa! Happy Hellidays!

This does not surprise me. Working for Macy's is Hell on Earth. From the dumbass custys like the couple that got him fired to the poor management and lousy pay, the big red star can suck it! He's better off.

I found it funny, and I think that people should get their minds out of the gutter. It seems most likely, being a Santa joke, that he's jolly b/c he knows which houses to stay away from.

If he has been telling that joke for 20 years, surely someone working at that store knew about it,. No one mentioned it until now? I think that couple needs to get a life.(Preferably one where they will never feel the need to get someone fired over a joke).

I'm glad to see things seem to be working out for him after this. It really is like Miracle on 34th Street, isn't it? I wonder if the negative publicity for Macy's is worth making that one couple happy, as if anything really could. How many people do you think will stop shopping there entirely in support of him? It's not like they have anything you can't get somewhere else, especially in San Francisco.

What did Macy's think was going to happen? That he was just going to go away? I don't understand these big chains that do stupid things like this that give them negative publicity. Sure, people will still shop there, but the drop off in people that will stop shopping there in protest over this sort of stupidity is going to affect their profits. What really gets me is two stupid old people complained, and get a guy who's (apparently) never had any problems in 20 fucking years fired. Never mind coal, those two should get reindeer shit for Christmas.

It looks like he only made it to older people. Yeesh, people want to see pedophiles everywhere. Please, people with a healthy attitude towards sex make semi-dirty jokes.

I recalled my order of coal and ordered reindeer shit as per NC Tony's orders.

As for Santa... When one door closed, another one opened! :-D

I got the joke, but I could also see how it could be misconstrued. I would never say something like that on the job, but only because I've been working in customer service long enough to know that people are morons and will think the worst of you if you give them the opportunity.

THAT BEING SAID. Way to go SOP (stupid old people), you got someone fired on during Christmas. I hope it was worth it.

So he's not real, then?

Good one, Logan!

Dude, fuck Macy's. I live in San Francisco. If he had the fucking job for 20 fucking years and lived in FUCKING SAN FRANCISCO, where even our baseball team is made up of (non-local) weirdos and is called the San FranFreakShow, and he's been making the joke to adults only (what he says, and as a nanny, I think it's funny and DON'T think he was talking about children...)

DUDE. It is a holiday tradition for my family all over the state to gather in front of that Macy's, in Union Square, and do some shopping (Chinatown, or Sears, or the mall around the corner, or whatever.) I am going to write a big ass letter and go in personally to complain. Because if they listen to some stupid old couple, they'll listen to almost every email that comes in (my store does). I hope the managers get some hell over all the complaints rolling in.

Good one, Logan!

I gotta try that one!
