Just be really nice about it and ask them what they can do to make it right. I've had multiple completely free meals in the past year by causing a minor shit-fit.

I roll with a similar approach but I rock it reverse psychology style. When they stop and ask how something is I'll respond "it's pretty terrible, you can have it back" and if they offer to get me a new one I say "no I'll stop and get food somewhere else on the way home" ... this usually mindfucks the shit out of them because they think you are clearly not trying to get something for free and they overcompensate to make sure. Throw in a comment like "I'm not sending food back here, I know what they do to food that's sent back" and the manager usually shits himself.
