Oprah Winfrey told she can't afford an expensive handbag

[Nyani Ngabu]

Marekani walipigana vita vya wenyewe kwa wenyewe karne ya 17. Hakuna dalili kama vita ya wenyewe kwa wenyewe au vita ndani ya American Soil inaweza kutokea anytime soon.

Mmarekani can affrod to think US is the World, an African (and hence a Tanzanian) can not...

Ilikuwa ni karne ya 19. Kuanzia mwaka 1861 hadi 1865.

Ebu someni kipande cha mahojiano ya BBC na mmiliki wa duka hasa hapo kwenye red. Hivi hawa spoilt customers ni watu gani?

Shop owner Trudie Gotz told the BBC that Winfrey was "absolutely allowed" to look at the $35,000 (£22,500) bag, which was kept behind a screen.

"My salesperson wanted to give her the handbag in her hand. But she didn't want to take the bag," claimed Gotz.
She said her assistant had worked in the Trois Pommes store "for a few years and takes care of the most spoilt customers from all over the world", adding, "she is really a correct sales person".

Yap, mhudumu alikuwa na haki ya kumwambia kuwa hawezi bei yake, hiyo fedha ni sawasawa na shilingi za kitanzania 57,750,000.00

Inasemekana bei ya handbag yenyewe ilikuwa ni USD 35,000 halafu wewe eti unataka kuiangalia wakati hata hujapakwanja? lol.

There is a big political raw in Switzerland in relation to discrimination of immigrants and asylum seekers.

Swiss in a multicultural bunch speaking about four different national languages. It is a country of immigration with many people going there to work.

It has been said that the Swiss are open on one side, but at the same time it is quite difficult to join their club.

[Mwandwanga]

hii ndio akili ya kiswahili, tena umesahau kusema angemuuliza "unajua mi ni nani?"

Mama Salma asingevumilia angenunua vyote na kum keep change.

 

[cesallinho]

Mi nafikiri hii ni political movement for swiss to change their rules on asylum and migrants status..

 

[Ng'wamapalala]

Matendo yetu na umasikini wetu ndiyo yanasababisha kuwa demonised sehemu nyingi za 'bei mbaya'.

Siyo jambo la ajabu ukiingia sehemu yoyoye ile inayouza vitu vya bei 'mbaya', body language ya walinzi na wahudumu utaiona inavyokuwa na mashaka na wewe. Unaangaliwa sana kwa kila unachokifanya, bahati mbaya zaidi, walinzi wengi wanaokufuatlia sana nyendo zako wanakuwa ni watu wenye rangi kama yako.

Pamoja na kuwepo kimaandishi kwa falsafa ya Presumption of innocence katika nchi za magharibi lakini mara nyingi kinachofanyika ni kinyume chake.

Huu uzoefu nimeupata sana katika nchi za Europe. Inaumiza sana kuona unaangaliwa na kufuatiliwa na walinzi wakati anafanya shopping dukani.

[Ritz]

Haya mambo hata bongo yapo kuna siku nilikwenda posta Dar. kuna duka moja linaitwa JD Shop la wahindi.

Wanauza suti na viatu, wakati nimo ndani naangalia nguo mara akaingia jamaa mmoja dukani, yule muhudumu aliyekuwa ananihudumia mie anamwambia muhudumu mwenzake msikilize huyo pasi ya mkaa.

Nikamuuliza kwa nini unamuita pasi ya mkaa akanijibu hawezi kununua kiatu laki na nusu au suti laki 4.

 

[Ambitious]

Kweli, Oprah alikosea; pale angemwonyesha huyo mhudumu jeuri ya pesa. Tena angenunua begi hilo kwa cash na kumwachia huyu mhudumu tip ambayo hatoisahau maishani mwake.

You know Oprah is a mature lady and she handled the situation accordingly. Angekuwa kadada kaliko pinda kama Nicki Minaj angemuonyesha credit card balance halafu hizo figures zingefanya hako kajizungu kapige magoti.
Ubaguzi bado upo sana hasa kwenye ulaya ya wazungu ambao hawahusudu kuchanganya race. Nazi like miniacs

Oprah Winfrey, one of the world’s richest women and last month topped Forbes’ list of 100 most powerful celebrities, was told by a shop assistant in Switzerland that she can't afford expensive handbag.The US talk show host, 59, says she was the victim of racism during a visit to Switzerland where she was attending Tina Turner’s wedding last month.

Winfrey said a shop assistant refused to serve her in an upmarket Zurich handbag shop, having said the bags on offer were “too expensive” for her. The TV star said she left the shop without contesting the shop assistant’s behaviour but contributed her experience to a debate about the continued existence of racism on a US television show.

Winfrey told Entertainment Tonight: "I was in Zurich the other day, in a store whose name I will not mention. I didn't have my eyelashes on, but I was in full Oprah Winfrey gear. I had my little Donna Karan skirt and my little sandals. But obviously The Oprah Winfrey Show is not shown in Zurich.”

"I go into a store and I say to the woman, 'Excuse me, may I see the bag right above your head?' and she says to me, 'No. It's too expensive.'" When Winfrey insisted she did want to see the bag the shop assistant allegedly replied: "No, no you don’t want to see that one, you want to see this one because that one will cost too much. You will not be able to afford that."

Winfrey, who is a billionaire, continued: "There's two different ways to handle it. I could've had the whole blow-up thing... but [racism] still exists, of course it does." Blick newspaper reported that Trudie Goetz, the owner of the boutique Winfrey was allegedly talking about, Trois Pommes, had apologised for the incident and called it a “misunderstanding”.

Oprah’s allegations come amid a political row over plans by some Swiss towns to ban asylum-seekers from frequenting public places such as school playgrounds, swimming pools and libraries. The draconian restrictions have been likened to Apartheid and angrily denounced by human rights groups as intolerable and racist.

Switzerland plays host to almost double the number of asylum-seekers per head of population of its European neighbours. It counts one refugee for every 332 inhabitants, compared to one per 625 inhabitants on the rest of the continent. Some 48,000 refugees are currently seeking asylum in Switzerland.

In June this year voters took part in a referendum which overwhelmingly backed moves to tighten asylum restrictions amid fears voiced by the popular right-wing Swiss People’s Party that the country was being inundated with refugees.
