If the rim is straight your LBS didn't have competent wheel builders achieve uniform high tension.

The right fix is learning to deal with your own wheels (I did that after getting a rear wheel which didn't stay true and a front that folded on a bump), although you could also delegate to a good one-person operation where the hands which earned the reputation are the ones which will work on your wheels.
