They are decent on stock cars. It's hard to mess that one up unless you have no idea what you're doing 
The problem is that most of us are lowered and you can't use stock settings. The suspension behaves differently once you've lowered your car. I'm running 1 finger gap all around and have no problem with tire wear so far, but I also supply my own alignment specs.

In the end, my car pulled to the side due to the rear being off because he didn't account for the thrust angle. Come to think of it, most tech don't and that's why you hear so many stories about cars pulling to the side even after getting an alignment. I had to go home and fix it myself. I had no problem when David works on my car, but his shift was over by the time I got there.
Just Zero toe all the way around, right?
It depends what you're trying to achieve.

I wonder if he's the one who last did my alignment because he sure messed up my alignment. He didn't know how to adjust the rear toe (I have aftermarket toe arms) and it looked like he was trying to force something and in the end gave up thinking it was okay because the machine displayed 'green.'
