Yes, you're right, but the point is that those kinds of things are contractual, not on a case-by-case basis. They still don't dictate HOW the retailer sells their wares. Car dealers have lots of contractual obligations as well. But manufacturers aren't going to step in and stop the retailer from making a customer angry because of their sales tactics. That's the retailer's problem.
