The clerk’s recounting of the conversation is quite different than Oprah’s. She never said anything about being able to afford it.
In any case, a normal person can’t afford it. The implication, had she said such a thing, would be that Oprah looked like a normal person. Only in Oprah’s mind would it be racial. Except that according to the clerk, it didn’t happen.
So, either Oprah’s own racial sensitivities are on display here, and her assumption that a Swiss being Swiss must be a racist, or else she made it up out of whole cloth.
She is promoting a movie right now.
A while ago there was another incident with another high end shop that was closed for a special function and would let her in. She complained about that as well on national Tv. What was going on with her in termsof business during that incident? What did she get out of that incident?
