Message	A few years ago I paid for a "computer" alignment and when I noticed abnormal inside wear (indicative of excessive toe-out) on the brand new front tires a few months later, I decided to check the alignment myself with a tape measure, carpenter's square, and sharpie to mark the floor. I found the front was toe-out by 1/2"!!!! Since then, I do all of my alignments myself. It's all too easy for a lazy tech to incorrectly install the alignment hardware and then let the computer do the thinking for them. To fix your issue, take your car back and tell the manager what's going on and if they're not willing to set it back up and compare the numbers, tell them you will be going to one of their competitors to have it checked and if there is a discrepancy, you will expect a full refund.
