Needed coolant after 2260 miles

So I just got my car back after taking it in for the first oil change after the break in period was over. The SA said everything was fine but the coolant level was a little low and he said they topped it off. I was a little concerned to hear this and so I asked him if everything was ok and if I had a leak or something. He said nothing was wrong but these engines are known to eat a little bit of coolant and oil too.

I've owned a few cars and none of them have actually used enough coolant between oil changes that it was deemed low enough where I needed to add more coolant. Has anybody else been told this or should I be more concerned?

My search didn't really show any results that answered this question. Thanks.
