I don't believe the salesgirl. If Oprah says it happened, it must have. Not that Oprah is God, lol, far from it, but she isn't one to pull the race card so easily. She even defended Paula Deen recently with the whole "N word" thing, saying black people themselves should not be using the word (then again, she's friends with Paula Deen) and she's accommodating to many whites in general, so this incident must have happened for her to raise attention like she has. 1 Like |

fresh_dude: You would know, you've been buying bags from that store for ages. Trying to be sarcastic here are we? If Oprah's story is false, the simple fact that store owner should have done would have been to release a surveilance footage of the store when she visited and when she checked out yet they ignore that and expect me to believe the word of mouth of a sales girl trying to keep her job... Also, this is a cheap way of adverticement instead of spending millions on advertizing.. Can you see my point pantsy? 2 Likes |

It's simple. There must be CCTVs in the store. Make the footage of the exchange between both of them public let's judge for ourselves. I have a strong inclination towards Oprah's version though 1 Like |

cachal: My take on this issue is simple, customers ask for too much respect. And Sales girls/Boys most time look down on people until you prove them wrong. It happen to me sometime ago, in a flight with Da prince, we were both in the Business class, but they seem to give him more attention, not even bothered to know who I was.so who are u? obj's pikin? #just kiddin |

if greed, racism, and short-sightedness could be overcome, then economic and technological development throughout the world would progress to the point that international trade would no longer be based on (what today would be called) colonial or neocolonial models and would truly benefit all peoples.if greed, racism, and short-sightedness could be overcome, then economic and technological development throughout the world would progress to the point that international trade would no longer be based on (what today would be called) colonial or neocolonial models and would truly benefit all peoples.if greed, racism, and short-sightedness could be overcome, then economic and technological development throughout the world would progress to the point that international trade would no longer be based on (what today would be called) colonial or neocolonial models and would truly benefit all peoples. |

ROSYL: [b]why do we blacks always play the racist [/b]card?How is this racist? Not really sure why race always has to be the issue. Did she say, "No, it is too expensive because you aren't white?" That word is used waaaay too often when certain people don't get what they want. Perhaps Oprah was acting like she was "all that" and got offended that this employee had no clue who she is. I loath it when people like you are made to believe the white lie.if anything look good to be true, it probably is. Playing the race carefree is probably the only advantage we have as black people. Read the sales girl statement again; she said Oprah pointed to a bag and she said to Oprah that the bag was 35k and that she Oprah should choose something else. Now tell me, what was that suppose to mean? I went inside a shop and pointed to a particular product, and you telling me to choose something different? Who the fvck are you to tell me what to have and what not to have? 6 Likes |

Chanchit: Opera should just shut up. What d sales girl did was understandable, you knw how women are, they want to prize everything even when they know they are not gonna buy. Can you bring down a N5m bag for everybody that wants to see it..? Did Opera insist on seeing the bag..? She should just shut up and stop crying foul. Senseless comment from a senseless person who obviously reads stories upside down, and knows nothing about business or competence. First of all, its 'Oprah' not Opera. And secondly, Oprah asked to see the bag, duh she wanted to buy it, she didn't have to beg the STUPID sales thing to bring it for her. She showed interest in the bag, that was enough! Whether she was window shopping or not, she was interested in the bag. The stupid sales thing, if she was competent as she claimed- shoulda quietly presented the bag to Oprah, not like the silly thing (sales thing of course) can afford to buy the bag for herself. Why is she now preventing someone else from buying it? Its clear racism biko! 4 Likes |

Nelly Ghenghen: More like sales That's the shop owner not the salesgirl. Customer service providers have a way of sizing up customers based on their appearance and treating them according to the perceived status. It happens everywhere, all the time, in Naija too. If you go to a Naija bank or a restaurant dressed like a mechanic, you will be treated differently than a person that's more smartly dressed. It's like any unfair treatment a black person gets from a white person is attributed to racism but the fact is that a white person could have gotten the same treatment Oprah got. I think Oprah was just upset the girl didn't know who she was. |

Arosa: So Oprah is now a liar. while the sales girl from a racist country is telling the truth.Where you there to witness the event. For all i care Oprah might have misinterpreted what the sales girl said. Allegation coming from a celebrity doesn't automatically make it genuine. Moreover is it not Oprah that categorized all Nigerians as criminals because her friend was duped by a Nigerian. Why did she blacklist all Nigerians because of that incident. My opinion on this matter is that the law of karma has taken it's revenge on Oprah. |

Oprah's publicity stunt failed! Switzerland is Africa's money laundering capital. Even if the salesgirl never heard about Oprah before am certain she was trained to treat "black older women" with more respect as she could be the wife or relative of a third world country leader.Oprah is an eldery woman who looks almost exactly like my first lady so why should any sales girl who works on commission refuse Oprah? Oprah is fraud and does not care about the blacks!She's just trying to promote her movie and also ride on paula deen's downfall. |

I give up on some comments here...So you think because Oprah network is struggling she lied about a shop sales girl...I have been in the similar situation in Switzerland in a barber shop 2 barber shops to be precised they refused to cut my hair that they don't do black hair. Its not what the girl said but am sure her actions speaks louder and Oprah got the message. 1 Like |

The girl is lying, period. She's just cooking up all those Motherless stories for the interest of their Shop and probably her Known Madam too. If i be Oprah, I'll feel the same way too especially when i want to buy something i saw and liked then the sales girl will be giving me an option without bringing what i actually wanted. There's so much meaning to that. It's obvious 1 Like |

I'm not one to make excuses but it is very clear that Oprah was profiled as not being able to afford the bag. Even from her words, the sales lady said Oprah wanted to look at a more expensive bag behind her but she suggested looking at the cheaper smaller version claiming that they’re the same. That's like walking into a car dealership with the hope of buying a Benz S600 but car sales guy gave you the keys to a C250 claiming that they drive the same. Isn't she from the same Switzerland that introduced a law banning refugees from playgrounds, swimming pools and libraries? http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/swiss-introduce-apartheidlike-restrictions-local-authorities-ban-asylum-seekers-from-public-places-8750765.html 1 Like |

Oprah didn't lie, the media as usual misconstrued her words.....Besides that bag might be made with a special type of leather, but the bag is butt ugly and isn't worth selling for half the price. |
