Neiman Marcus Cookie Recipe!!! Read this Story...

When decent people get screwed over, this is the result!
A little background: Neiman-Marcus, if you don't knowalready, is a very expensive store; they sell your typical$8.00 T-shirt for $50.00.

Let's let them have it! THIS IS A TRUE STORY !
My daughter and I had just finished a salad at aNeiman-Marcus Cafe In Dallas , and we decided to have asmall dessert. Because both of us are such cookie lovers, wedecided to try the 'Neiman-Marcus cookie.' It was Soexcellent that I asked if they would give me the recipe, andthe waitress said with a small frown, 'I'm afraid not, butyou can buy The Recipe.' Well, I asked how much, and sheres ponded, ' Only two fifty - it's a Great deal!' I agreedto that, and told her to just add it to my Tab.

Thirty days later, I received my VISA statement, and theNeiman-Marcus Charge was $285.00!
I looked again, and I remembered I had only spent $9.95 fortwo salads and about $20.00 for a scarf. As I glanced at thebottom of the statement, it said, 'Cookie Recipe-$250.00.'That was outrageous! I called Neiman's Accounting Departmentand told them the waitress said it was 'two-fifty', whichclearly does not mean 'two hundred and fifty dollars' by anyreasonable interpretation of the phrase.

Neiman-Marcus refused to budge. They would not refund mymoney because, according to them, 'What the waitress toldyou is not our problem. You have already seen the Recipe. Weabsolutely will not refund your money at this point.'

I explained to the Accounting Department lady the criminalstatutes which govern fraud in the State of Texas . Ithreatened to report them to the Better Business Bureau andthe Texas Attorney General's office for engaging in fraud. Iwas basically told, 'Do what you want. Don't bother thinkingof how you can get even, and don't bother trying to get anyof your money back.' I just said, Okay, you folks got my$250, and now I'm going to have $250 worth of fun. I toldher that I was going to see to it that every Cookie Lover inthe Unite d States with an e-mail account has a $250 cookierecipe from Neiman-Marcus...for free. She replied, 'I wishyou wouldn't do this.' I said, 'Well, perhaps you shouldhave thought of that before you ripped me off and slammeddown the phone.

So here it is!
Please, please, please pass it on to everyone you canpossibly think of. I paid $250 for this, and I don't wantNeiman-M arcus to EVER make another penny off of this recipe!
