Expensive cookie recipeDate: Tue, 25 Nov 2008 08:19:06 -0500
A little background: Neiman-Marcus, if you don't know already, is a very
expensive store; I..e., 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 a
Neiman-Marcus Cafe In Dallas, and we 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 0Ame 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 to that, and told her to just add it to my Tab. Thirty
days later, I received my
VISA statement, and the Neiman-Marcus Charge 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 was Outrageous! I called
Neiman's Accounting Department and told them the waitress said it was 'two
fifty', which clearly does not mean 'two hundred and fifty dollars' by any
reasonable 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 to20the Accounting Department
lady the criminal statutes which govern fraud in the State of Texas I
threatened to report them to the Better Business Bureau and the Texas Attorney
General's office for engaging in fraud. I was basically told, 'Do what you
want. Don't bother thinking of how you can get even, and don't bother trying to
get any of your money Back.' I just said, Okay, you folks got my $250, and now
I'm going to have $250 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
cookie recipe From Neiman-Marcus...for free. She replied, 'I wis h you wouldn't
do this.' I said, 'Well, perhaps you should have thought of that before you
ripped me off!' and slammed down the phone. So here it is! Please, please,
please pass it on to everyone you can possibly think of. I paid $250 for this,
and I don't want Neiman-Marcus to EVER make another penny off of this recipe!
