Inside wear would be camber, and you cannot get a good alignment on a tire worn badly.

You will most likely have to replace tires and get it re-aligned.

I would complain to manager about this, they should warranty the alignment and tires, this could also be weak springs, but in sny case, I would demand new tires and a permanent fix, at their expense.

Frame would not concern me if never wrecked.

I would take to a different shop for an inspection, get results and confront original installer.
