Yep, that's a great use of FT. You get a bit wiser and apply that to future situations.
I think the bottom line here is that if you had been truly inconvenienced, it would be worthwhile to pursue compensation, even after the fact. But thinking of screwing over a customer isn't the same as doing it (just like thinking about robbing a bank isn't a crime, only the act is). Realistically, you handled the situation well at the property, weren't caused any true harm, and you only lost out on 13 minutes of your time and experienced a little anxiety. If someone paid me for every time I had 13 minutes of anxiety, I'd probably be retired by now
