>> >With a cute smile, she said,  "Yes."  I asked how much, and she

>> >for a scarf.   As I glanced at the bottom of the statement, it said,

>> 
>> "Do what you want, we don't give a damn, and we're not refunding your

>> any of my
>> >money back.
>> >
>> >I just said, "Okay, you folks got my $250, and now I'm going to have
>> >$250.00 worth of fun."  I told her that I was going to see to it that

>> $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

>> >Please, please, please pass it on to everyone you can possible think
