Angry New tires and alignment

I had new tires put on my truck today.(Cooper Discoverer LSX) Buy 4 tires and get a free alignment check.Tire tech dude said my toe in was out and the camber was too.He could adjust the toe in but said if he tried tightening the camber bolt it would snap! They could not get them until Monday so I went to a Ford dealer across town and bought them! ($54.17 per side) I get back to the tire store and the tech that worked on my truck was gone.A new tech set it up and said the bolts were not needed and he got it within specs! I was so pissed off!
Anyway,I can bring the camber bolts back and get a refund,but,the fact that I had to go thru this BS really made me mad! BTW,the tires are great! Rides so smooth and quiet now!

When I had my balljoints replaced they needed to install a camber bolt kit for the propper alignment.
