Expensive Lesson- Submitted by Sonja Gu'
My daughter and I had finished a salad at the Neiman-Marcus Café in Dallas and decided to have a small dessert. Because our family members are such "cookie monsters," we decided to try the Neiman-Marcus Cookie. It was so excellent that I asked if they would give me the recipe and they said with a small frown, "I'm afraid not." Well, I said, would you let me buy the recipe? With a cute smile. she said "yes." I asked how much, and she responded "two fifty." I said with approval, just add it to my tab.
Thirty days later I received my VISA statement from Neiman-Marcus and it was $285.00. I looked again and I remembered I had only spend $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. Boy was I upset! I called Neiman's Accounting Department and told them the waitress said it was "two fifty," and I did not realize she meant $250.00 for a cookie recipe. I asked them to take back the recipe and reduce my bill and they said they were sorry, but because all the recipes' were this expensive so not just every one could duplicate any of our bakery recipes... the bill would stand... I waited, thinking of how I could get even or even try and get my money back, I just said okay, you folks got my $250.00 and now I'm going to get $250.00 worth of fun. I told her that I was going to see to it that every cookie lover will have a $250.00 cookie recipe from Neiman-Marcus for nothing. She replied, "I wish you wouldn't do this" so here it is and please pass it to someone else or run a few copies...I paid for it, now you can have it for free!!!
