This story was sent to me by a friend of mine. I would like all of you to
know it's TRUE. Since the store in question would not budge, I believe it
is our duty to do as she asks with her recipe.
SEND IT TO THE WORLD and enjoy the best $250.00 cookies you ever tasted.

This is a true story... Please forward it to everyone that you
can...
You will have to read it to believe it...
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." "Well" I said, "would you let
me buy the recipe?" 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 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 that 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, we dont give a crap, and we're not refunding your money." I
waited a moment, thinking of how I could get even, or even try to get any
of my money back. I just said, "Okay, you folks got my $250.00, 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 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 dollars for this... I don't
want Neiman-Marcus to ever get another penny off of this recipe...
