Local tire place messed up my paint, need advice

I noticed a nail in my tire yesterday, so I took it to a local tire place to get it plugged. It was in the back tire, so it needed to go up on a lift. I gave the guy my key, got it fixed, looked around my tire, didn't see any damage, and went home.

Well, stupid me didn't bother checking my door. Whatever a-hole drove my car onto the lift busted my door into something and chipped off the paint. The picture below shows the damage. It's worse than it looks, because it's hard to see the flake of paint that's in the front, but you get the gist of it from the big white spot.

I am so f'ing pissed off right now. The place is closed, so I'm planning on going back tomorrow and fuss at someone. My question is...what do I demand? For them to pay for touch up paint? For them to get this part repainted if possible (is the whole door necessary? I really don't want that).

Please don't lecture me on letting someone else drive my car without supervision. It's never happening again. Ever.

Thanks, please advise. :(
