Tad Bits of Stuff and a Zebra too

Today I thought I would share a few things with you all. My cousin Fabiana send me an e-mail of these good sounding cookies. I usual don’t agree with her political

Neimanmarcus honest time...I can’t afford to shop their and if I could I don’t know if I would any how I like looking at their Christmas catalog for kicks and giggles if you don't already know, is a very expensive store.
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 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 and asked 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 Better Business Bureau and the Texas Attorney General's office foe
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 don't want Neiman-Marcus to ever make another penny off of this recipe!!!!
