swearing and threatening sadly bring discussions to an abrupt end these days (oh for the good old days...)

long words and a diversified arguement also make them fear that the situation could go on for some time... keep something in reserve for when you hit a brick wall; if the arguement reaches an impasse, then you lose.

and a really compelling decider is to go for it when there is a healthy queue formed behind you (giving them an audience to face) especially when people have just arrived, and / or when their shift is about to end.
