Car returned from dealer out of alignment
I'm venting a bit here but also trying to figure out how the hell I drop of car (2014 cayman s 25K mi) at dealer for oil and brake fluid change, and when is returned the alighnment is very distinctly off. Alignment has been perfect from day one, never had any other issues with this dealer. Anybody ever have any experience like this?

Talk to the dealer. I would have turned around and went right back.

It's very easy to knock them out of alignment. Clip a curb w/ the right rear turning a corner and you'll be off - the steering wheel will be off-center and it will pull to the right. So it's easy to do. That being said, it will be hard to prove who did that. You could have done that leaving the dealership (from the dealer's perspective).
When was the last time you had it aligned? If never, then consider yourself lucky and just go have it done. It should be part of your maintenance schedule (at least biennial) to keep your tires healthy. You don't have to pay dealer prices for an alignment. Call around and ask if the shop can do a 14 Cayman. I had my Wheeler Dealer 14 Cayman S I have for sale aligned at Firestone. They even offer a lifetime alignment, which I didn't take because I'm selling the car, but you might consider if you plan to keep your car a long time.

Check the tire pressures they can be off causing the car to pull.
Please don't automatically assume it was something the dealer did. You could have a screw in a tire causing an air leak or other possibilities. |

Yes but there is a range before the light comes on. If one side of the car is at the top of the range while the other is at that bottom, the car will pull
