Cookie Recipe

 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 but you can buy the recipe. Well, I asked how

 much, and she responded.  "only two fifty, it's a great  deal!" I agreed,

 just add it to my tab I told her. Thirty days later, I received my VISA

 statement from Neiman-Marcus and it was $285.00.  I looked again and I

 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 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, it doesn't matter, and we're

 not refunding your money." I waited, thinking of how I could get even, or

 even try and get any of my money back.  I just said, "Okay, you folks got

 my $250.00, and now I am going to have $25,000.00 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 for this.....I don't want Neiman-Marcus

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