i got this in an email from a freinds freind... if you like cookies then u have the recipe to how they make there cookies...
FYI, its says (cannabutter) next to butter in the recipe cause the guy that htis happend to is a pot smoker and that is what u use if u wanna make speacial brownies or in this matter cookies...
A little background: 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!
Let's let them have it! THIS IS A TRUE STORY!
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 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!
