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. 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 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 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 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! What More Free Chef Recipes >>> 101 Chef Biscuits Cookies Recipes
