The story goes as follows...
A woman had lunch at The Hedges at Neiman Marcus in New York City in November. For dessert, she had a cookie. She thought it the most wonderful cookie she had ever tasted and asked if the recipe was available. It was, but for a two-fifty charge. She said fine, got the recipe and told them to charge her account. When she got her bill in December, there was a charge for $250.00. She called and told them there was a mistake, the charge should be $2.50. She was then told that there was no mistake - the charge was correct. She vowed to get back at them. All she asks is that everyone who gets a copy, send it to everyone they know.
