Rear wheel alignment problem on 2004 corolla S

I just got my car back from a very reputable tire shop. The alignment printout they gave me shows green numbers for the front tires (toe and camber where within spec).

Problem is my left rear was .31 before and .33. The right rear was -0.13 before and -0.10 after. Camber was within spec for both rear tires. Tech said there was no adjustment for rear alignment on a 2004 corolla?

What is confusing me, is that on the alignment print out form they gave me, there is another section that says "REAR Total Toe = 0.19 before and 0.23 after. Total cross camber is -0.6 before and -0.06 after (which is not within spec)

Car has 15,000 miles

Questions:

1. Would the above rear toe alignment cause excessive tire wear?
2. Should I take car to Dealership? would they be able to adjust it?

Thank you for any advice you guys can give me.

I just got me a 4 wheel lifetime alignment at Firestone - and then they told me they can't adjust the rear tires as you have mentioned.

When I discussed this with the Toyota dealer, he said that the rear ones ARE adjustable, but you have to remove the struts to do it, which Firestone would lose their shirts if they had to do that. So now I basically paid for a lifetime 2 wheel alignment

The Toyota dealer did, however, say that for the first year, 12,500 miles, they do a free 4-wheel alignment and adjust/clean the brakes. But it's an unwritten thing. Glad I asked about the alignment! Wish they would have told me this when I bought my 2004 Sienna from them!
