BLOODY CAPITALISTS!!!
A DELICIOUS STORY
Neiman-Marcus as you may know already is a very
expensive store i.e. they
sell your typical $8.00 t-shirt for $50.00. Lets
let them have it!!!
THIS IS A TRUE STORY: (As sent to me by a friend)
My daughter and I had just finished a salad at a
Neiman-Marcus Cafe in
Dallas and 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 with approval, just add it to my
tab I told her. Thirty
days later, I received my VISA statement 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". That was outrageous!
I called Neiman's Accounting Dept. and told them
the waitress said it was
"two-fifty," which clearly does not mean "two
hundred and fifty dollars" by
any *POSSIBLE* 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 you money at this point."
I explained to her the criminal statues which govern
fraud in Texas. I
threatened to refer them to the Better Business
Bureau and the State
Attorney General Office for engaging in fraud. I
was basically told, "Do
what you want, it doesn't matter, we're not
refunding your money." 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, 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 in the
United States with an e-mail account has a $250.00
cookie recipe from
Neiman-Marcus...for free.
She replied, "I wish you wouldn't do this." I said,
"Well, you should have
thought of that before you ripped me off," and
slammed down the phone on
her. So here it is!!! Please, please, please pass
it on to everyone you
can possibly think of. I paid $250 for this...I
don't want Neiman-Marcus to
*ever* get another penny off of this recipe....
