    Only apologise because shes famous. What about the other hundreds of thousands of ethnic people they have been racist to?

    The Swiss are apologizing because they were caught discriminating against people and a famous person at that!

      As long as they receive their money and the public doesnt see their attitude, they will keep going. It happens every day in Switzerland.

    in regardless of she is OPRAH or not, they should show respect. she is a client and no one would ever dare to go and visit shops they can not afford on the first place.
    if costumer would ask for a bag, be happy to assist them and don't judge them by the way they look or by their color or whatsoever! Racism should be a dead subject by now..you Swiss people should know!

      Get your story straight. The shop was CLOSED. Closed for French people and HER. She is an entitled person, she wanted the shop re-opened for her. If she doesn’t like the way she is treated in Europe, stay in the US.

    • @Val-ht6em
      @Val-ht6em 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Simon Cowell yes, I have enough of her bullshit. I think she should come down from her pedestal. French people don’t know who she is, why would they? The Americans don’t know our talk show hosts and they are famous in France. She is famous in the US but that is it, let’s get real here. American actresses and singers are well known in the world because we see them on tv and in concerts when they do a world tour but the Oprah tv show 😂😂😂, who is watching that in Europe or even in the world. Too many great tv shows and movies in their own countries and in their own language.

      +David Gooding In one way its good. Zürich has low service standards. The Swiss don't seem to have a big IQ when it comes to hospitality and social aspects. Even though they go through 3 to 4 years Lehrestelle to just sell clothes :)))

    • @Ladywrip
      @Ladywrip 8 ปีที่แล้ว +21

      +David Gooding: Oprah never publicly said the name of the store, she just told the story of how she was treated there. No one knew what store this took place at until the OWNER OF THE STORE issued a public apology to Oprah. If she had apologized privately to Oprah instead of publicly the world would have never known which store it was, so this became a "big deal" because of the store owner... not Oprah.
