>My daughter & I had just finished a salad at Neiman-Marcus Cafe

>With a cute smile, she said, "Yes." I asked how much, and she

>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

>our bakery recipes....the bill would stand. 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 $250.00 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 will have a $250.00 cookie recipe from Neiman-Marcus
>for nothing. She replied, "I wish you wouldn't do this." I said, "I'm
