The way the pics appear to me, those two dents occurred when something was clamped to the frame - something with an open end facing backwards, not like on an FD that would have its open end on the non-drive side of the tube.
No other marks, so it also doesn't appear it was anything else (like a bottle carrier or something) that you yourself had mounted on the tube. I think it's highly likely a shop did this with their stand. Shame on them for not pointing it out after they did it, too.

Agreed.
Ham fisted and dishonest to boot.
Can be hard to regulate these things, but only a couple of mechanics get near my bike other than the kids or I.
The ones that do work on them at the shop are incredibly talented.
