I love it when the little guy or gal in this case strikes back!
> Â
> Â A little background: Neiman-Marcus, if you don't know already, is a
> Â very expensive store; i.e., they sell your typical $8.00 T-shirt for
> $50.00. Â
> Â Let's let them have it! THIS IS A TRUE STORY!
> Â
> Â My daughter and I had just finished a salad at a Neiman-Marcus Cafe
> Â in Dallas , and we decided to have a small dessert. Because both of
> Â us are such cookie lovers, we decided to try the "Neiman-Marcus cookie."
>
> Â It was so excellent that I asked if they would give me the recipe, Â
> and the waitress said with a small frown, "I'm afraid not, but you Â
> can buy the recipe." Â
> Â Well, I asked how much, and she responded, "Only two fifty. It's a
> Â great deal!" I agreed to that, and told her to just add it to my tab.
>
> Â Thirty days later, I received my VISA statement, and the
> Â Neiman-Marcus charge was $285.00! I looked again, and I remembered I
> Â had only spent $9.95 for two salads and about $20.00 for a scarf. As
> Â I glanced at the bottom of the statement, it said, "Cookie Â
> Recipe-$250.00". That was outrageous! Â
> Â I called Neiman's Accounting Department and told them the waitress
> Â said it was "two fifty", which clearly does not mean "two hundred
> Â and fifty dollars" by any reasonable interpretation of the phrase.
> Â
> Â Neiman-Marcus refused to budge. Â
> Â
> Â They would not refund my money because, according to them, "What the
> Â waitress told you is not our problem.
> Â You have already seen the recipe. We absolutely will not refund your
> Â money at this point." I explained to the Accounting Department lady
> Â the criminal statutes which govern fraud in the state of Texas . I
> Â threatened to report them to the Better Business Bureau and the
> Â Texas Attorney General's office for engaging in fraud. I was
> Â basically told, "Do what you want. Don't bother thinking of how you
> Â can get even, and don't bother trying to get any of your money
> Â back."
> Â
> Â I just said, Okay, you folks got my $250, and now I'm going to have
> Â $250 worth of fun." I told her that I was going to see to it that
> Â every cookie lover in the United States with an e-mail account has a
> Â $250 cookie recipe from Neiman-Marcus..for free. She replied, "I
> Â wish you wouldn't do this."
> Â
> Â I said, "Well, perhaps you should have thought of that before you
> Â ripped me off!" and slammed down the phone.
>
> Â So here it is!
> Â
> Â Please, please, please pass it on to everyone you can possibly think
> Â of. I paid $250 for this, and I don't want Neiman-Marcus to EVER Â
> make another penny off of this recipe! Â
