Just had car aligned and numbers don't add up? Thoughts? (Screen shots posted)

Ok so my last set of tires only lasted me 6k miles before the belts were showing and completely bald in the rear.

Had new rear tires installed and got an alignment today.
The numbers are off and when I asked about it, these are the answers/screen shots I received.

Can someone knowledgeable chime in and let me know if this is legit or BS

I assume you don't have front camber plates. If you don't shop couldn't have adjusted front camber. Perhaps just a little bit if they removed the strut mount pins. If they want to compensate for driver weight they need to do the alignment with driver in it. Driver weight will distribute to the whole car and will "affect" camber on every corner not just front left. So that is just BS speech as the set the rear evenly.

Yeah like he said above. You cant adjust front camber in our cars unless you have camber plates.

I wouldn't worry about it
