Should I be mad at my shop? (coolant leak woes)

I have a '00 9-5 Aero that's got a slow-ish (have to refill once every 1-2 weeks) coolant leak. I took it to one of the independents here in town--and they said the issue was my water pump. Replaced the pump ($250-ish) and the coolant leak continues on unabated. By all appearances, that was the wrong fix and a waste of money.
From what I can tell, the shop wants to just keep replacing stuff until they find the issue. Is this typical process? I am kind of tempted to trash them on Yelp over it and move on to another mechanic rather that letting them swing wildly and miss again. I guess they're finding this hard to diagnose.
Suggestions appreciated--
