This is me but I can't help but wonder how much of Tilly's achievement came from precisely the same set of malfunctions that we've all been complaining about in terms of her behaviour towards Hannelore: Relentless cheer and an utter inability to understand a negative response if it is not in line with her personal objectives. Basically, the customer service rep gave in to shut her up and get her off the line. I'm pretty sure that this works IRL and is the basis of the telesales industry.
Meanwhile, we learn that Beatrice is a very, very thorny subject with Hannelore. Some people just suck as parents and Beatrice (and John as well) definitely fit into that category. I'm not sure if it's malice, ignorance or a simple lack of the right social skills and behavioural instincts on both their parts.

To me, the speaker's voice tone goes down two octaves and gets a gutteral subtone like they're gargling the words.
gopher:
It just doesn't stop.

Yes, that is precisely what I meant by saying that Tilly's type of "negotiation" leaves a bloody wake of entry level workers who are going to get written up and/or fired after being bullied into agreeing to really bad deals.

No Bubbles in the poll? I am disappoint.
Yay, Tilly is USEFUL!

Makes me think of the way the Goa'uld sound in Stargate franchise. Hanners' eyes don't glow tho'.
