Remember yesterday when we told you about a boutique worker told Oprah Winfrey that she couldn’t afford a £24,000 handbag? Well now the story goes on.
A rep from the boutique in Zurich has responded to Oprah’s racist claims!
Trudie Goetz, head of the Trois Pommes has said the following:
“This is an absolute misunderstanding. Any sales person would love to sell a crocodile bag. She simply explained [to Oprah] that the bag she wanted to look at was beautiful but in a very high price range and suggested lower priced models in leather, ostrich and so forth. It was a misunderstanding. The staff member who welcomed Oprah is one of the hardest working and regularly deals with VIP clients. There was no discrimination. Of course, she [the salesperson] speaks English, but not as well as her mother tongue. It was a real misunderstanding.”
The Swiss Tourism Agency have also had their say:
“We are very sorry for what happened to her, of course, because we think all of our guests and clients should be treated respectfully, in a professional way.”
Since when is it that the person behind the counter decides on whether a customer can afford something???
We bet Oprah won be running back to that store anytime soon!
