What you'll actually do

  • 01Climb into a fur suit that's 30 degrees hotter than the room and somehow look happy about it
  • 02Communicate entirely through head tilts, waves, and thumbs up — you cannot speak
  • 03Pose with children who range from delighted to absolutely horrified
  • 04Take scheduled breaks to avoid actual heatstroke inside the costume
  • 05Stay in character when kids pull your tail, punch your stomach, or try to remove your head
  • 06Wave at every single person who walks by because the Easter Bunny is always happy
  • 07Navigate the mall in a suit with limited visibility and giant feet
  • 08Clean the inside of the costume head between shifts — it's exactly as gross as you'd imagine
