Oprah told bags are “too expensive” for her

How was Aussie able to quote LC from another thread and post it in this thread? I did not know it could be done.

Click quote, C&P, and post it wherever you like..

Copy/paste.

It's part of her magical intellect. She can do and know things that the rest of us can't even comprehend.

Thanks...I see that Mock software was able to take me back into the other thread when I clicked on the -> arrow beside the original poster's name. That's pretty nifty.

Just don't tell Gail.

I call bullshit on this story.

Unless it's on video, it didn't happen and she is making it up for publicity.

Oprah is the biggest, fattest bullshit artist on the planet. She's a disgrace, and a blight on the planet.

The fact that she has even one person that listens to her is yet another reason I fear for the future my kids will have to grow up in.

I don't think it's bullshit; I think it happened just as Winfrey contends.

The store clerk and owner have acknowledged what went down and apologized.

The Swiss Tourism Minister said the incident had been investigated and apologized to Winfrey on Friday.

Was Winfrey profiled and deemed not of caliber because she was black? That, I don't know. Maybe not.

I don't go into high end stores like that. Not only because I can't afford them, but because I would never spend that much money on clothes, jewelery, bags...even if I had it.

Even so, it's not surprising to me that clerks in stores like those selling $38k handbags profile the customers and size them up upon entry into the store. Heavier women who aren't displaying very expensive jewelery or don't pull up in a Rolls are likely to be snubbed or disregarded (lots of complaints like that reported and documented).

Could be Winfrey looked frumpy to the snobby clerk (who should have just shown her the damn bag in any case, IMO). Or, she might have looked like a million bucks and the clerk simply discriminated against her because she's black.

IDK. In any event, Oprah will survive. The store's gotten some bad publicity, but it'll survive. And, maybe clerks will think twice before making assumptions and rude comments that could end up costing them business. Not a bad thing, IMO.

She probably came in obnoxious and haughty and laid a "you know who I am?" on her.

[HairOfTheDog]

Nah, she left the store after the clerk refused to show her the bag because "it was too expensive for her". Very wrong assumption.

Winfrey didn't bother to tell them who she was; just took her business elsewhere and then mentioned the incident in a televised interview.

People get discriminated against all the time. If it's Oprah, the world hears about it.

[Donovan]

True enough.

[Duchess]

I cannot imagine dropping that kind of cash for a handbag. I like nice bags & I wouldn't carry one without a "name" but that price is ridiculous. There are people who don't make that in a year!

[Jimbone]

The amount of fucks to give about this story have run out.

My husband moved to Switzerland from Hungary when he was 10. They don't take kindly to outsiders there, not even fat ass, nigger Oprah. Especially her.

I spent a month there and while it's a beautiful place, it's not some where you can easily fit in, not even as a famous tourist.

[Midwest Spy]

If I was single, I'd head to the Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary and literally try to fuck myself to death.

I love the women in that part of the world (as well as Venezuela and Colombia).

Aye, Mami!

Eastern European isn't all it's cracked up to be. All I saw was a bunch of fat people. America has the highest population of fat people my ass. Motherfuckers are eating hot dogs and fry bread like nobody's business over there.

I did see a few Gypsy girls that were absolutely fucking gorgeous. Holly shit. Bright blue eyes, long black thick hair, and the body and face of a goddess.

[Cynical Ninja]

The Swiss are a bunch of stuck up twats anyway. Me and an ex girlfriend stayed at a “romantic” hotel near lake Geneva in 97 I think it was. The staff all had shitty attitudes towards everyone, I remember an old German couple sat on the table next to us in the dining room. They were as quiet as church mice until one night one of the waiters seemed to be arguing with them about what they had ordered. The bloke stood up and went into full uncle Adolf arm flailing mode the waiter knew his role and furtively backed away to the kitchen tugging his little swiss forelock in submission.

Did you fuck her? Please say yes. Because Imma go ahead and imagine you did anyway.

[sally]

That didn't happen. I was just impressed by their beauty, with their long, jet black, perfectly smooth beautiful hair and piercing blue eyes. Fucking assholes annoyed me, not made me horny.

Such a fine line between annoyance and horniness.
