If I had paid for a four wheel alignment (I rarely bother with them)
I would not have accepted paying to put the rear wheels out of
alignment. Your post just reinforces my position on having it done!

==
Just had a similar situation.
Printout showed wrong year and wheel size.
Rather than accepting, pointed out to the service writer and they re
did the alignment without additional cost.
Additional adjustments were required.
Alignment on Camrys is very stable. Worth getting it right the first
time.
The primary result is tire wear.
