You need a different alignment shop

The toe is always equal at the front. The steering wheel may be off center if the bozos at the alignment shop don't know what they're doing as the tie rods do need to be adjusted equally to keep the steering wheel centered.
If the rear alignment was really off then they needed to stop right there. The rear alignment cannot go "off" unless the rear axle is bent or the bushings are shot.
Rear axle has essentially zero toe and zero camber if in spec. Actually there is a tolerance for these numbers but the rear toe cannot be negative (toe out is no good) and the rear camber cannot be positive (sure sign some doofus tried to jack p the rear of the car by putting the jack under the axle).
