		<description>How do we, the consumer, deal with manipulation?
The &quot;seller&quot; controls the conversation so the &quot;buyer&quot; is forced into YES answers repeatedly.  
Next comes berating statements like--&quot;Is that the way you want us to deliver it you....?&quot;  &quot;Do you understand what I said?&quot;  &quot;Did you hear what I said about the size?&quot;
Customer No-Service seems to be trained on being experts at this type of control and manipulation to overcome incompetence.</description>
