Specsavers advice needed

Hi,
I recently bought some Specsavers glasses. If you buy frames costing over £69, you get 25% student discount. You are allowed to change your frames if you are not happy with them. I bought £45 frames with £90 lenses so I did not receive the student discount. I then exchanged the frames for £69 ones, and when the SA asked me to pay the difference, I realised that I now qualified for student discount, as well as the BOGOF offer they run on frames over £69. When I mentioned the student discount, the SA was a bit annoyed and said 'Just leave it' so I didn't pay anything, but in theory they owe me £16. It's not a lot but every little helps!
Is it cheeky of me to go back and ask for the refund??
Thanks!
