If you decide they should put it right, ask to speak to the shop owner or manager. Say as little as possible, after explaining what you requested to be done and the present outcome. Sometimes, we put ourselves at a disadvantage in these situations by talking too much to cover our discomfiture, and predatory merchants sense this. If you know any outlaw bikers, it wouldn't hurt to take them along as well, just for a bit of background menace. Tattoos are good.
What's clanking is probably one of the cranks, which is loose on its taper. If it were mine, I'd feel happier if the entire bottom bracket were taken apart and regreased, so the balls and races can be checked - unless it's a sealed one, naturally.
The OP has no idea what was wrong with his bike nor was he informed on exactly what was repaired on his bike. I think it's a little premature to start running down I hate LBS type threads already no?
Give me a ****ing break.
