A little background: Neiman-Marcus, if you don't know already is a very

expensive store i.e. they sell your typical $8.00 T-shirt for $50.00.

Lets let them have it!!!

THIS IS A TRUE STORY:

My daughter and I had just finished a salad at a Neiman-Marcus Cafe

in Dallas and 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  recipe and the waitress said

with a small frown, "I'm afraid not but, you can buy the

recipe." Well, I asked how much, and she responded, "Only two fifty,

it's a great deal!" I agreed with approval, just add it to my tab I told

her.

Thirty days later, I received my VISA statement 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 was outrageous!

I called Neiman's Accounting Dept. and told them 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 statues which govern

fraud in Texas. I threatened to report them to the Better Business Bureau and

the State Attorney General Office for engaging in fraud. I was basically

told, "Do what you want. Don't bother thinking

of how you can get even, or even try and get any of your 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 every Cookie

lover in the United States and Canada 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 for this... I don't want Neiman-Marcus to

*ever* get another penny off of this recipe....
