ENJOY! WHOEVER BAKES THEM FIRST BRING SOME IN.
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 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 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 to the Accounting Department lady the
criminal statues 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 wish 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!
