I had that happen at a car dealer. I complained when a salesman told me I owed him an apology for not believing his numbers (this was after I’d caught him lying). The general manager told me they had fired him over it. The next time I was in the dealer, probably six months later, the same salesman came over and started to chat me up. He obviously remembered me but not why he did. I just laughed, I wasn’t surprised in the least. I’d only complained in the first place so I could get a different sales person.

OT but my favorite car dealer story was when I was in for routine maintenance. Some salesman was going around the service area talking to people trying to drum up interest.

So he came to talk to me. Asked if I had looked at the new cars and told me how reliable they were, and I should consider one.

So I asked (not loudly but not quiet conversation volume), “Is my new $model I bought from $this_manufacturer last year not reliable?”

Boy did he backpedal and move on to find something else to do real quick.

I found it hilarious.
