[Leica] Hermes Apologizes to Oprah

[mcyclwritr at comcast.net (mcyclwritr@comcast.net)]

Jeffery,

Did I misinterpret your post? 

Are you playing the race card in favor of Oprah? She and her entourage have 
the privleged-class gall to show up, without notice, 15 minutes PAST closing 
time AND when the store is already engaged in a scheduled event and you play 
race card?

I suppose Hermes management should have dropped everything, saying in 
effect, "Oh, you're a celebrity. You're wealthy. We'll ruin everyone else's 
night so you can be indulged. Please, oh please, let us kiss your ample 
American a**" 

Of course, I suspect the whole story is an Internet sham. After all, here's 
a black woman who grew up in the south and she claims this is most humilated 
she's been in her entire life? I know the south of her childhood was not the 
south of Beverly Hills (as they might say in France).
