A simple typographical error in a newspaper help wanted advertisement led to an unusual and unsettling surprise at the Celina 52 Truck Stop's annual Christmas event. Instead of the jolly figure of Santa Claus, attendees were greeted by a character resembling 'Satan', much to the dismay of parents and children alike.
The Celina 52 Truck Stop, a popular local spot known for its family-friendly events, intended to hire a Santa Claus for their holiday celebration. However, a typo in their newspaper advertisement transformed 'Santa' into 'Satan'. Celina 52 claims the error was on the newspaper but is unable to provide proof due to Bill their IT guy deleting the emails since the incident
The ad, which read "Wanted: Satan" caught the attention of a local specializing in playing unconventional characters. Unaware of the error, the truck stop management proceeded with the hiring. It wasn't until the day of the event that the mistake was realized, but by then, it was too late to make any changes. Many parents were displeased upon arriving at the event with their children, expecting a traditional Christmas Photo. Instead, they found a character in a red costume with horns, a stark contrast to the festive Santa Claus they had anticipated.
Management's Response: The management of Celina 52 Truck Stop quickly acknowledged the error and apologized to the attendees. They explained the situation as an unfortunate mistake and offered cookies and hot chocolate
