Its also possible that they didn't have the steering wheel exactly centered when checking it. I know when I got my last alignment the toe changed after they moved the car and rechecked it. They told me something similar and had to mess with the steering wheel to get each side to 0 out.
Its up to the OP if he wants to get it aligned just to do it anyways but my opinion is its not needed in this case.

Even if the wheel was just turned when it is centered it will still be 20 minutes off on the one side which is out of spec enough to wear tires. I've seen much less do more damage to tires.
