If you do make them you definitely need
to halve the mixture.
This is a true story. Please forward
when you finish reading!
A little background: Neiman-Marcus, if
you don't know already, is
a
very expensive shop; i.e. they sell a 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
lunch at a Neiman-Marcus Cafe in
Dallas.
Because both of us are such biscuit lovers, we decided
to try
the Neiman-Marcus cookie".
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."
I asked how much, and she responded;
Only two fifty - it's a great deal!"
I agreed to that, and told her to
add it to my bill.
Thirty days later, I got my VISA
statement, and the Neiman-Marcus
charge was $285.00. I looked at it
again, and I remembered I had only
spent $9.95 for two sandwiches and about
$20.00 for a scarf. At the
bottom ofthe statement, it said,
"Cookie Recipe-$250.00". That was
outrageous!
I called Neiman's Accounting Department
and told them the waitress
hadsaid 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."
I explained to the 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.
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 said, OK, you've 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 world with an e-mail
account gets a $250 cookie recipe
from Neiman-Marcus... for free.
She replied, "I wish you wouldn't
do that." 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 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 from this recipe!
