The only thing you can do is never go back again.

I'd ask to see the service manager, and speak to him in his office (that's important) out of his subordinates' earshot. Then, show him the proof (assuming it's viable) and ask, "How can you help me with this?"

Most of all, act calm, cool and collected (ie. professional) when you speak to him. Don't demand anything; rather, allow him to offer restitution and phrase the language you use to aid the process.

nothing makes a statement like fresh poo.
