Moe Fugger is mostly right. The specs on the print out should let you know what is going on. The first thing to try is crossing your front tires. This is assuming your tires are in good shape. If they are unevenly worn from an alignment problem you could still have drivability issues. This is the most common problem assuming the alighment was done correctly.

Caster is the alignment angle that most commonly causes pulling (drifting) on a car. Look at your alignment printout and look at the CROSS CASTER number. It should be very close to "0.00". A positive number indicates a pull to the left and a negative number will go left.

If you do not have a print out, go back and have them put it back on the rack and give you a print out, this is the only way you can be sure they did what you paid for.

if you have had an alignment done i would check the tires if a tire is bad it will be the right front one a check could be to rotate the tires and see if the problem goes away if not bad alignment

Why did you get an alignment from two places? Didn't the first shop warranty their work and also give you a printout of the before and after? If not, you got jipped, lesson learned. Nobody can answer your question over the internet unless you give the camber, caster and toe measurements and the specs. You could have a tire issue, an alignment angle out of whack, or a steering or suspension issue. Way too vague a question.
