>> Do you like cookies?
>>
>> This is a true story... Please forward it to everyone that you
can...You will
>> have to read it to believe it...
>>
>> My daughter and I had just finished a salad at Neiman-Marcus
Cafe in
>> Dallas & decided to have a small dessert. Because both of us are such
cookie
>> lovers, we decided to try the "Neiman-Marcus Cookie". It was so
excellent
>> that I asked if they would give me the recipe and the waitress said
with a
>> small frown "I'm afraid not." "Well" I said, "would you let me buy
the
>> recipe?" With a cute smile, she said "YES". I asked how much and she
>> responded, "Only two fifty, it's a great deal!" I said with approval,
"just
>> add it to my tab".
>> Thirty days later, I received my VISA statement from
Neiman-Marcus and
>> it was $285.00. I looked again and remembered I had only spent $9.95
for two
>> salads and about $20.00 for a scarf. As I glanced at the bottom of
the
>> statement, it said, "Cookie Recipe - $250.00". That's outrageous!!!
>> I called Neiman's Accounting Dept. and told them that the
waitress said
>> it was "two-fifty," which clearly does not mean "two hundred and fifty
>> dollars" by any POSSIBLE interpretation of the phrase. Neiman-Marcus
refused
>> to budge. They would not refund my money, because according to them,
"What
>> the waitress told you is not our problem. You have already seen the
recipe
>> we absolutely will not refund your money at this point." I explained
to her
>> the criminal statutes which govern fraud in Texas. I threatened to
refer
>> them to the Better Business Bureau and the State's Attorney General
for
>> engaging in fraud. I was basically told, "Do what you want, we don't
give a
>> crap, and we're not refunding your money." I waited a moment,
thinking of
>> how I could get even, or even try to get any of my money back. I just
said,
>> "Okay, you folks got my $250.00, and now I'm going to have $250.00
worth of
>> fun." I told her that I was going to see to it that every cookie lover
in the
>> United States with an e-mail account has a $250.00 cookie recipe from
>> Neiman-Marcus... for free. She replied, "I wish you wouldn't do this"
I
said,
>> "Well you should have thought of that before you ripped me off", and
slammed
>> down the phone on her. So, here it is!!!
>>
>> Please, please, please pass it on to everyone you can possibly think
of. I
>> paid $250.00 dollars for this. I don't want Neiman-Marcus to ever get
>> another penny off of this recipe...
