Whatever. She’s no billionaire.
Well she did give fee cars to her audience and some school stuff in Africa.
Her story is total boo chit!
I shop at some rather expensive places and have had conversations with clerks.
I too have been looking at one thing and spying another asked to see it. Sometimes the clerk makes me aware of the cost difference.
I have two.clerks I regularly shop with and they will let me know about an extraordinary difference in cost, while there isn’t much difference in the product.
In fact, I was shopping for a watch a couple years back and had one in my hand that I was just about to purchase. I saw another that was similar and asked to see it. The salesperson and told me the price difference, which was about $4k more than the one I was holding.
I took one look at it and decided that $4k wasn’t worth it and I don’t care for rose gold anyway.
Last year a friend was shopping at Escada Rodeo Drive with her personal shopper. She had a similar experience.
The shopper had laid out her requests so when she showed up she could shop with expediency.
Well, she saw another item that wasn’t in her request. It cost $30k. That was $10k over her budget.
She shops there frequently and only with this shopper. He informed her of the cost and she simply said “okay”.
Well, she purchased the items she wanted and as the shopper was readying them to be steamed out and shipped she stepped over to the item that had caught her eye.
The shopper advised her to step away and she responded she was only looking.
Next thing, she says she’ll take that as well.
He tried to talk her out of it and just laughed and asked it be shipped to a different location.
This stuff happens all the time and I appreciate shoppers who advise and inform.
In fact, I have a briefcase by Burberry that a shopper once tried to talk me out of buying.
I was high on myself and bought it anyway. Kinda dumb, as I rarely use it.
Oprah lied and twisted the events all for ego and partly for the PR it created for her movie.
I was going to see it as I am a fan of Forrest Whitaker.
But, due to Oprah’s crap and the directors bunk accusations I won’t see it, ever. Not even on dvd.
Oprah calls it her "black card." Presumably because she's "not a racist."
I had planned to see it because the story sounded interesting and I also like Forrest Whitaker, but due to Oprah’s lying racism, I will pass on it now. Too bad he had to cast her in the movie.
and I missed three episodes of Duck Dynasty.
She made up the story trashing a poor salesgirl and now is busted for lying.
Pray for America to Wake Up
Oprah has pulled a Jim Carrey. Poor woman is toast....she just don’t know it!!! Sickening!!! No class....what do you expect from an Obamabot???
Oprah apologized. Far cry from all the usual grovelling sniveling apologizing by eeevvvviiiilllll racist Whitey.
If I had Oprah’s money they could call me anything they like.
I would be just like Oprah and expect people to grovel beneath me. All rich people like to see the regular guys like us grovel.
I think it is a sin that this clerk refuses to grovel.
Sorry Switzerland. America wants to unload her but...
She’s so fat we don’t have an earth mover large enough.
I haven't seen a new movie in decades. I'm not supporting the communist Hollywood filth.
Looking back, it was my once in a lifetime “Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman moment” (before the movie was made), when I tracked down my large walking bank vault,walked back to the store, and flashed the cash I had meant to spend on a rarely asked for and very expensive item!
Oprah just got caught lieing her ass off, internationally, and her non-apology apology is not going to cut it.
Next time she pretends someone is “discriminating” against her based on color, she should make certain she flashes the Black AMEX card, not the less than useless race card.
Very few people are accepting that card anymore.
People’s morality is really being tested and exposed lately.
Interesting. It is the “ends justify the means” movement directed by black people.
They feel like they can lie about anything, because they are entitled. IT might have happened somewhere!!
They are just victims.
Oprah turned her back on God and has been peddling a social gospel of witchcraft.
God won’t be mocked, Oprah, no matter how many favorite things you sell the masses.
THis is a sad day for black America because now the world has their eyes open about their stupidity and racism.
Before they would talk hush hush trash about us behind closed doors while doing business and money fine, but now, forget about it. The cat is out the bag.
I feel sorry for conservative blacks caught in the crossfire, but when they are going to go to Germany, Austria, Switzerland or even France, they are going to be spit on.
They were willing to go along with Michael Jackson’s pedophilia, but this, they will not. Bubye... You have got to be stupid to pi$$ on the neutral Swiss like that, given all the bank accounts the elite hold over there.
Good bye.
I went into a fine watch shop, because they sold Heublot.
My all time "wish for" is a rose-gold Heublot Big Bang. I'd never seen one in person. They run roughly 25K with the full gold band/rhodium bezel.
Anyhow, I asked about the watch, and boy were those clerks snooty.
Hey I don't have Oprah money, but I'm not "poor" by any stretch of the imagination.
Discrimination? I don't know. Don't care.
It's Rodeo drive.
It's almost a given that they hire salespeople who are hoity-toity.
As for Oprah, cry me a river.
I seem to remember a white American liberal trying to get his grubby hands on the Swiss accusing them of collaborating with White Apartheid in South Africa. The precedent given was the jewish gold they had hoarded and kept because the families did not have the proper death certificates after Aushwitz. The Swiss told him to go f himself in polite ways.
However, here Oprah is so ignorant, this whole thing is now a crap show.
She is a big fat opportunist.
And speaking of fat...
She so fat, she have to iron her pants....
IN THE DRIVEWAY!
