Did AC staff at LGA forget to pick up my I-94 departure card?

If you leave via an airport to an international destination (e.g. Paris France), the airline should collect your I94 card at the last point prior to USA departure. When you re-enter the country from an international destination, you will need to fill out the I-94 card to be placed into your passport.

There is one technicality, if you leave the US-Canada-other destination, they will not take your I-94, though you are supposed to surrender it. Usually they do not have a problem if you retain it.
Hi All,
Sorry for picking up this old thread but this is the most relevant I found when using the search function. I have a (potential) problem:

I am a EU citizen and visited NYC 6 days in early January. On my way home i flew LGA-Montreal-LHR-ARN. When I checked in at LGA the (biz) check-in staff didn't take my green I-94 departure card. Should I be worried?
I have tried to go through most US governmental sites but I wouldn't write here if they were clear and/or open for questions.

PLEASE - anyone with experience - should I do something?

Thanks for understanding my worries.
