Free the Cookies!!!!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My daughter & I had just finished a salad at Neiman-Marcus Cafe in Dallas

and decided to have a small dessert. Because our family 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 they 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,

"Two fifty." 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." Boy, was I upset!!

I called Neiman's Accounting Dept. and told them the waitress said it

was "two-fifty," and I did not realize she meant $250.00 for a cookie

recipe.

I asked them to take back the recipe and reduce my bill and they said

they were sorry, but because all the recipes were this expensive so not

just everyone could duplicate any of our bakery recipes....the bill would

stand.

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 $250.00 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 will have a $250.00 cookie recipe from

Neiman-Marcus for nothing.

She replied, "I wish you wouldn't do this." I said, "I'm sorry but this

is the only way I feel I could get even," and I will.

So, here it is, and please pass it to someone else or run a few copies....I

paid for it; now you can have it for free.
