Rear tires are wearing bad on inside edges.
The geometry of this suspension design is such that you cannot change camber without changing toe rather drastically, so there is sometimes a balancing act between desired camber and toe settings, that can also be influenced strongly by ride height. It is always a good idea to start with checking ride height per the shop manual before making any adjustments.

If you are saying that you have -1.8 degrees of rear camber, that is not a whole lot, and looks to be within the factory settings. Toe can make tires wear much faster than camber, so it could be that you had too much toe, rather than too much camber before your technician aligned your car.
