For all you cookie monsters out there!
THIS IS TRUE----PLEASE READ IT AND PLEASE SEND THIS TO EVERY PERSON
YOU KNOW WHO HAS AN E-MAIL ADDRESS
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-Marcuscookie." 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 with approval, 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
statues 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 whatyou 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 moneyback. 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 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." Isaid, "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....
