The manager routine’s bullshit anyway. Give them a damn time limit if they want to start that crap. They’re just wasting your time so you’ll be worn down and not balk when they try to throw on some fees later, trying to pretend that they “really fought for you” so you’ll feel social obligation to the salesman and be more likely to sign a less-than-optimal deal, and overall getting you more invested in the process so you’re more resistant to walking away. It’s a goddamn prank at your expense with money on the line, treat it as such.
