That's why I avoid the LBS as much as possible. They don't sell you what you need, they sell you what they got. The dope that sold you the bike and said the wheels would be fine is a just that, a dope!

That happens to the dopes, they sell stuff that isn't right, then they have to fret about the consequences of their stupidity.

It ain't your fat ass, it's the fact that they are too dishonest to be up front. They should have told you from the start you would need a custom handbuilt spec'd wheel to go with the bike. But then you more than likely would have changed your mind after adding up the totals, then they would have lost a sale. Them dopes!
