He won't remember anything else other than, that tactic works and why change your behavior if it's working for you...
its crazy that I personally see this happen almost every day. Last week I heard some lady tell her daughter in the store....daughter is screaming I want this at top of lungs mom says if you stop screaming I will buy you both. I just wanted to smack that mom and tell the child sorry you can't have either one, you didn't earn it...........but I just gave a funny glare and walked on.........
