WRONG... VERY WRONG

I was listening to Boortz just now and heard about this... It's just really wrong. Mom: 4-Year-Old Girl Denied Santa Visit For Not Buying Photo A mall in Massachusetts issued an apology after a 4-year-old girl was apparently told she was not allowed to sit on Santa's lap unless she purchased a $21 picture of the meeting, according to a Local 6 News report. Maria Grigorian said she took her daughter, Michelle, to the North Shore Mall in Peabody to visit Santa Claus. However, when the 4-year-old got to the front of the line, she was not allowed to sit on Santa's lap because her mother did not have cash to pay for the picture. Grigorian said the least expensive photo offered was $21. "I am a single mom and don't have that money right now," Grigorian said. Michele was so upset over the incident that she burst into tears and left with her mother. "To see her crying and saying, 'Mommy I just want to tell Santa what I want for Christmas,'" Grigorian said. "I was heartbroken, totally heartbroken." An official with the Northshore Mall has apologized and said a meeting with Santa is free of charge.

I'd like to meet the jerks who decided to deny this little girl a minute or two of their time. I'm all for making a buck, but come on...
