As others have said - not the tube's fault - has to have path out past the tire to blow out. Speaking as a former bike shop service manager, the shop should provide a replacement tube and labor, including inflation to full pressure and checking for proper seating. The manager or head mechanic should make sure it is done properly this time. If it were me I'd give you a spare tube for your trouble as well.
