I've heard of shops (usually kwikkar type places) forgetting to add oil, forgetting to put in the drain plug, or put it in all the way. Paying for synthetic and receiving conventional is probably commonplace. At the very least I suspect you will not be getting the copper crush washer replaced or even reinstalled. Chances are, you and your car will be fine, but I've always worked on my cars myself, so changing oil is a minor task and I handle it myself.
