This is such a joke..
Oprah gets her way... again
I'd open the door if it was Vivica Fox or Tyra Banks!! j/k
CHICAGO : The tabloid war between Oprah Winfrey and French luxury retailer Hermes International ended in a decisive victory for the US talk show diva Monday when the company's president of US operations apologized on-air. Winfrey, who was recently named the most powerful celebrity in the US by Forbes magazine and is considered a cultural icon with an immeasurable influence over her millions of viewers, instigated a boycott after she was turned away from a Hermes store in Paris in June. Tabloids were abuzz with the snub and Oprah's conviction that she was turned away because she was black.

hile I do believe that Oprah got slighted. I don’t think there is anything wrong with what the story employee did. When a store is closed, it is CLOSED. You help the customers that are still in the store and NOT let any new customers come in. I do like Oprah as a person, however, bringing race into it is just absurd… Sometimes I just wish the “Race” card is not being played every time something is wrong.
What a bunch of crock!!! If you don't make arrangements for people to stay open after hours then don't expect them to be open. It's a business. I close at 7 and no one comes in after 7 unless you are my other half and HOT. :)
ReplyDeleteEXACTLY! I worked in a bank during college. We all know that for people who are STILL in the store after closing, we have to serve them. For those that came late, we have to keep them away. no matter what. Oprah is just being a fat BIATCH!!! can't belive that she is trying to play the race card in this.
ReplyDeleteHermes didn't need to apologize. Most of Oprah's viewers can't afford to shop at Hermes. She just needs the publicity. In that entertainment circles, no news is bad news. But I agree, Oprah did abuse her power. If we had royalty in the United States, she would consider herself a queen. All hail Queen Oprah!
