Default Steering wheel not aligned properly

I recently had a wheel alignment done to my car and I noticed afterwards that when I am driving on a straight path my steering wheel is actually tilted to the left. But prior to the wheel alignment the steering wheel was pretty much aligned perfect when driving straight. I don't believe they messed up on the wheel alignment since they just went with stock recommendations. So what could be the problem? If anybody has any information I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks so much.

Take it back and have them do it properly.

Common mistake. Your steering wheel was not centered during the alignment.

I'm sure the alignment shop targeted a total toe measurement rather than taking the time to ensure toe was identical both sides, that's why I do my own alignments and get far better, more consistent results.
