The head can warp overtime, especially if the car has been overheated even once. Laying a straight edge along the head will show if it is warped and in need of milling. They will take the head to a metal shop and have a very small layer of metal removed so that it is flat, then they use a slightly thicker head gasket when putting it all back together. If they didn't even check the head for flatness, that's pretty much half-assing it. Might be ok in an emergency situation, but if it were a car I planned on keeping, the right thing to do is make sure the head is not warped, or you will be doing it all over again sooner rather than later.
