BTW-If your LBS can't install a chain properly I'd find a new bike shop.
My LBS didn't install the chain...I did. And I'm certain I did it properly, as it's not the first time I've done it.
In any case, I was giving it some thought, and the only instance I can think of that may have broken the chain is when I overshifted and the chain came off. If that's what damaged the chain, then the LBS is partially responsible since they are the ones who adjusted my front derailleur improperly.
That said, I do really like my LBS and I'll be going back there.
