. T> III                     Another try!

                 THIS IS SUPPOSEDLY A TRUE STORY:

 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....
