It could also depend on the person working on the car.
Was it in for work that required them to disconnect the battery?
Maybe they used one of the methods that keeps it from losing memory of settings when the battery is disconnected.

Most shops are honest and do not need to pull crap like this. Take it to a shop that will honor the battery's warrantee. Most shops have someone on board who can do some preliminary trouble shooting. They do not want to keep replacing a battery under warrantee if something else is the problem.
We know your battery is less than a year from new. We do not know what kind of vehicle it is in. My Chevy Tahoe is getting close to its twentieth year. It is having various little problems. It seems it is time for me to replace the battery cable, but that hasn't been fully determined of yet.
