Had my mechanic do wheel bearings on my Camry, ball joint boots were all torn up so it also got new Moog Problem Solver ball joints. Before the alignment, the car drove straight as an arrow, but the outer edges of the front tires were feathering a little bit. Rear tires wore fine, I've kept them rotated. It now drives just as straight as before. Had the Toyota dealer do the alignment.

I'm guessing the bad left rear alignment was due to getting rear ended on that corner in March. Although it could be worn bushings.

I didn't see the shop but the huge area where you pull in your car where the service advisors come out has 2 hunter machines hanging above and the alignment things they stick on the wheels are out there to check alignment. This dealership seems very modern.
 
This is actually a very good alignment. Less caster on the driver's side to compensate for the crown in the road, and a touch less camber on the driver's side for the same effect.

Toe is [censored] good.

Rear looks pretty good too.

Looks like you've found an alignment tech who actually took the time to do it right, instead of 'everything's in the green, so it's good.'
 
You're lucky you went in there with good camber; fixing it needs grinding, cam bolts, or other drama. They set the toe and let you go, which is what you needed.
