The cookies may be good, but the story is a myth. This person may feel
cool telling the story like it actually happened to him, but I have heard
versions of the same story at least four or five times in the past few
years (although the story usually says that they were "Mrs. Fields"
cookies, not Nieman-Marcus). Anyone else heard the same story?
