Fired Macy's Santa Claus Hired By Lefty O'Douls

Fired Macy's Santa Claus Hired By Lefty O'Douls

By now we all know the tale of John Toomey, the Union Square Macy's Santa Claus who was fired after telling a barely risque joke to a couple of horrible old people. Well, Toomey is in luck: Geary Street restaurant Lefty O'Douls hired Toomey, doubling his price. Ha!

"Beginning Saturday, John Toomey will appear on a specially constructed North Pole Winter Wonderland stage at the restaurant from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. until Christmas Eve," Lefty's spokesman Lee Houskeeper explained to BCN (via SF Appeal). "His four-point contract stipulates that he is allowed to tell jokes."

Lefty's O'Douls, located at 333 Geary, will also have a party this Friday from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. to welcome their new Santa Claus, blue humor and all. "He will be there seven days a week from 3 to 8 p.m. through Christmas Eve."
