ABSOLUTELY TRUE
�� My daughter & 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".� (EDITORIAL
COMMENT:� Neiman's is a VERY EXPENSIVE department store).� 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, would you let me
buy
the recipe?", I asked.� 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 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."
Outraged, 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 that 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,
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, and now I'm
going to make sure 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 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....
