I call BS on this story unless she gives up the name of the store and the saleswoman has a chance to weigh in with her side. Until then, this is just Oprah pulling an Obama-esque compilation of her ‘experiences’. Aren't we led to believe Europe is so much more tolerant than the U.S.?

Switzerland isn’t like most of the rest of Europe. They are not in the EU, believe firmly in the right to bear arms and have very little time for the kind of PC that infects the rest of Europe and to a slightly lesser extent, the USA.

I love the place, btw, the people were some of the friendliest people I’d ever met, and their country is clean, tidy, virtually crime-free and prosperous. As a Brit, I was starting to get an inferiority complex just walking around the place.
