Ugh, Oprah is so fucking annoying. The store clerk was obviously in the wrong no matter how they try to spin it, but the way Oprah describes her experience is eye-roll inducing and makes me despise her even more.
Yep, anyone who works in retail, on commission, should know you can't judge a book by its cover so to speak, especially nowadays when people don't exactly dress to the nines to go shopping. I hate to defend Queen Oprah too, but it really does sound like profiling to me. What harm would there be in letting a customer see the bag? Is a credit check required before you can touch the expensive merchandise? Sounds to me like the salesperson didn't want to take it off the shelf, because she thought Oprah was gonna run out of the store with it or something.

So Oprah is still one of The People, I guess.

Well, an entire country apologizing for one stupid shopgirl is a bit excessive.

OPRAH WINFREY
GETS SWISS APOLOGY
After Racist Incident at Purse StoreBREAKING NEWS
The entire country of Switzerland is begging for Oprah Winfrey's forgiveness ... after a racist shop assistant in Zurich refused to show her a handbag because it was "too expensive" for O.
The incident occurred last month, when Oprah was in Zurich to attend Tina Turner's wedding ... and walked into the upscale Trois Pomme boutique where she noticed a $40,000 handbag.
When Oprah asked to see it, the shop assistant refused -- insisting it was out of O's price range. RACIST!!!!
Oprah described the exchange to "Entertainment Something":
"One more time, I tried. I said, 'But I really do just want to see that one,' and the shopkeeper said, 'Oh, I don't want to hurt your feelings,' and I said, 'Okay, thank you so much. You're probably right, I can't afford it.' And I walked out of the store."
Now, Switzerland's national tourism board has issued an apology on behalf of the country -- saying, "We are very sorry for what happened to her."
The board also begged for Oprah's forgiveness on Twitter ... saying the shop assistant "acted terribly wrong."
FYI -- Oprah reportedly made $77 million dollars last year ... so, suck on that racist shop assistant.

Healthy is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.
The National Tourism Board issued an apology? Good fucking grief.

Didn't this happen to her at Hermes years ago too?
That this happened to her twice is really odd, I'm starting to think this is how she gets free bags, which is weird because why would she need them free? Or is it for free press?
edited I'm not crazy she was denied entry to Hermes in 05

Yeah true, but minds that narrow, I'm gonna guess that a lost commission made a bigger impact. I like the global scale of the humiliation too.
Way to inflate her ego even more. I'm sure the clerk will or has lost her job.
