It was so excellent, that I asked if they would give me the recipe. 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 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 was 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　Attorney's General Office for engaging in fraud. I　was basically told,　Do what you want, it doesn't matter, 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 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 for this...don't want Neiman-Marcus to ever get another penny off of this recipe...

PLEASE READ AND SEND TO EVERY PERSON YOU KNOW WHO HAS AN E-MAIL ADDRESS...THIS IS REALLY TERRIFIC. Have fun!!! This is not a joke. This is a true story. Ride free, Citizens!
