I had to look for this story because it doesn't appear on my regular 'headline aggregate' . I know of it because when I went to bed last night she had the TV on and the story was running.
I have never watched her show but I was of the impression she had compassion for the down and outs, which leads me to ask why would she want (definitely not need) a $35,000.00 purse regardless of whether she can afford it or not.
Couldn't she give them money to something more positive?
Winfrey, one of the world's richest women, claimed an assistant refused to serve her in an upmarket handbag shop.
She was apparently told one of the bags on display was "too expensive" for her.
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".
