Martinis and a WWFDBD

Last night I went to a local restaurant having "$5 Martini Night Thursday." They do this every week but last night was the first time I went.
I ordered a "Martini, dirty". As a watched the bartender start making my cocktail, I noticed she was using vodka. After asking her if she had any gin she informed me that usually you have to specifiy a gin Martini as Martini's are "traditionally made with vodka." I should just left then, but it was $5 martini night.
For my second martini, not only did she once again try to make it with vodka, but she was out of olives and olive juice. I didn't know what to say at that point.
So I ask the FDB, would you contact the owner of said establishment to let them know that their bartender has no idea how to make the most basic/original cocktail which they have a special night for, and that on MARTINI night, she ran out of olives and olive juice? Or would you just let it slide?

I would not have been able to contain my laughter. quote:

Yes. And where were you?

No, but I'm a drunk and not that particular.

Traditionally it's gin. Most bars use vodka these days that I notice due to the majority of the people expect its vodka.
Martini is right. You need to specify, but a good bartender should ask.
