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