Default Soooo my dealer barely put any coolant in...

I was just doing some last minute checks before leaving for a road trip on Monday, and noticed my coolant is way below the minimum line... I had the coolant flushed at the dealer last Saturday, and I thought they would have filled it properly...
Odd thing is, the car has been driven to work every day since last Saturday, and the temp gauge has remained where it usually is.
So, my question is, should I just stop by the dealer and pick up coolant myself, or should I march into the service center and throw a hissy fit about not filling my coolant to the proper level?
...Or is it okay to just leave the coolant where it is and take my road trip?

Thats just a reservoir. Simply buy some Honda coolant and top it off. If the coolant level lowers again,then you likely have a small leak some where....

Drive it to service, you likely won't even have to throw a fit, calmly explain the situation and they should have a porter or lube tech top it off for you real quick like.
