Obviously YMMV.
I sympathize. Mrs BamaVol would never say a word and is mortified when I do. I try to limit complaints to major faults and know that I'm restricted to no more than one complaint per meal, and certainly not every time it's merited. It was very frustrating to receive a slice of cake that was days past fresh when I had already sent back a bottle of wine for the first time in my life knowing I had already used my one complaint. It was as if the server knew.
