Let's let them have it! THIS IS A TRUE STORY
Neiman-Marcus, if you don't know already, is a very
expensive store; i.e., they sell your typical $8.00
T-shirt for $50.00. My daughter and I had just
finished a salad at a Neiman-Marcus Cafe in 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, and 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 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 statues 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!
