I didn't dig deep in the threads to see if this might be a redundant question, so I apologize if is. This is a long setup, but there is a question at the end, trust me.
Background: I went to a neighborhood club this week while away on business in Atlanta. Ended up having a great time, however it didn't start well...
Not long after sitting down at the bar and ordering a beverage I was approached; typical small talk, etc. I could tell the dancer was a little hammered. She offered a dance, I respectfully said "maybe later" as I wasn't even two sips into by beer. That is when she went off and lectured me for about 10 minutes. She was playful at first, but seemed to get more agitated minute-by-minute. The point she was trying to make was that dancers don't like it when you say "maybe later" and would appreciate a simple "no thanks" instead. It doesn't matter if she is right or not; it was the delivery and the lecture that annoyed me.
Anyway, I finally said "thanks for the lecture" with a touch of sarcasm "what is your name?" She said, "[email protected]&* you, a$$!*#$" and walked off. I had a few more beers and ended up forgetting about it for the night and had a nice time.
My question is...
Should I have complained to the manager about her attitude and behavior to, at the very least, save the next customer from a hostile lecture? Or chalk it up to someone having a bad day and move on? (which is what I did)

A vague "maybe later" grates on any dancer's nerves.
