Personally, I'd make another appointment, go back, get it done, and if they remember you leaving, tell them you had a sudden emergency you had to leave to take care of. Alternatively, buy the shit and do it yourself or go to a quick change place and pay for it.

Note that I did not yell or curse, I just left.
