Hmm don't know why I got that the store what closed early - I guess I can't imagine a store closing at 6:30pm on a day that's not Sunday.

And she doesn't eat, breathe and **** like the rest of us - she does so in way nicer places and clothes oh and with better food

Yeah, I forgot. She is God, after all.

Her plumbing is probably hooked up to the springs in the French Alps, for that matter.

Hmm interesting. That seems so early to me - stores here generally close at 8 or 9pm.

I think it also really depends on if the store people REALLY made the comment about North Africans..

Also from a business stand point, it's never bad to have Oprah want to come in..if I was the owner, I might be a little upset with the employees. If Oprah came knocking on my store door at 9 30 (we close at 9)---not that she would...you'd better believe I'd open those doors! Lol...You would think they would want to accomodate a high spending customer like Oprah

Sorry! I could not resist

I just saw on the news that she is now blaming the employees for not letting her in because she is black. Come on, Oprah. You don't see George Lopez complaining about stuff like this because he is of Mexican ancestory. We just make jokes about it instead of getting angry and whining to the news.

Oprah should have went shopping earlier in the day. I don't blame the shop employees at all. She needs to be treated like any other customer who tries to buy something 15 mins after a store has closed it's doors. She was in France. Europeans do things alot differently than we do in the States and Oprah needs to realize her money isn't going to open all the doors that she wants.

It's a hard knock life Oprah. It must be really tough being her. I bet the poor thing was also late for her dinner with Tina Turner.

and sans fabulous watch, at that! Do you think Tina was mad when Oprah showed up without a present? Maybe she said "I'm your dancer for money, biatch! where's my watch!!!?"

If any of those sales people at Hermes work on commission they are out of their minds not to accomodate someone like Oprah. Big mistake, if you ask me.

Oh, it's definitely a big mistake, sales wise, but I don't think it's sinister or anything.
