Here is where I disagree. Indeed, "nothing bad happened so let it go." Yes, this is an unfortunate mistake, but, seriously, what is the probability that anything really adverse would come from such a case?

And why is everyone's first inclination whenever a service provider makes a mistake to pull out the "compensation" card?
