I couldn't believe the news I heard in the media last week about the Swiss boutique worker and Oprah. It made me say "O, No she didn't"!
I may have been just as shocked as Oprah, herself, when it came to the service, she received while shopping in a Swiss boutique! What disturbed me wasn't the sales rep assumption that Ms. Winfrey couldn't afford a hand bag, which Ms. Winfrey a Billionaire asked to see! But I was more in disbelief at the mere point, the boutique clerk did not know she was providing service to one of the most influential Black Women in the World! (In my top flight security of the world voice)
Please somebody tell me, how does one not know Oprah Winfrey, especially while interacting with her? I still can't believe the clerk didn't know Ms. Sofia "You told Harpo to beat me " Oprah Winfrey! Producer and film publisher of Harpo production, Oprah! Retired talk show host of the 25 year running, Oprah Winfrey Show!
How could one not know her, when interacting with her? The publisher and writer of "O" The Oprah magazine Oprah! The women who owns her own radio channel on Sirius XM radio and opened her own all girl school in Africa!? Which are only a few of the many accomplishments she's achieved in her life, while helping others.
I know the clerk had to know she was providing service to a women who have made such a positive impact in the world, or either Oprah disguised herself really good that day! While I keep hearing everyone express their disbelief in the fact that the clerk thought Ms.Winfrey couldn't afford the hand bag, because she's Black, I was thinking what about the fact that she didn't know Oprah Winfrey O_0 I was even in more shock that the clerk didn't know Oprah was in the building! Literally
I guess she really didn't know she was providing service to such a profound, influential, individual. I thought everyone knew Oprah Winfrey....Ms.O No she didn't!
No, the boutique clerk obviously didn't know she was in the presence of one of the most prolific, iconic Woman in not only the States, but in the world.
If she didn't know who Oprah Winfrey was at first, it's more than obvious she know's now, I'd also like to think Ms.Winfrey is even more humbled from the incident herself.
