It is remotely possible that the rear camber is part of the problem,
but, my Spit has a more negative camber than this and goes straight
down the road. (Both front and rear).
Have you checked some of the more mundane possibilites? Are the tire
pressures the same between right and left? Is the left front brake
dragging or is the right front not working? Is the car actually
pulling to the left or does the wheel not line up correctly when
you are going straight?
It is also possible that the shop didn't do a very good job of
adjusting the toe.
