| |
|

> Well, I asked how much, and she responded, "Only two fifty-it's a great
> deal!" I agreed to that, and told 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 t! he botto m of
| the
| |
|
