>My daughter & I had just finished a salad at Neiman-Marcus Café 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."
>"That'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."  That's 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 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 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 I slammed the phone down on her.
>So, here it is.  Please, please, please, please pass it on to everyone
>you can possibly think of.  I paid $250 dollars for this and I don't 
>want
>Neiman-Marcus to ever get another penny off of this recipe.  So here
