Is there any chance you could take a picture of the spoke nipples inside the rim after moving the rim tape away? I'm just curious and would like to see just how deep the spokes are in the nipples. I can't believe a pro would let a wheel leave the shop like that.

Remove the tire, remove the tube, remove the rim tape/strip, then take a few pictures of the nipples looking at them from the inside. Make sure there is plenty of light so you could see how deep the rabbit holes are.
