I think I would look at the bill/receipt and if it's itemized, tell us what all they did in this "service." It sounds like something didn't get put back together right, if it ran fine on the way there and rough on the way home.
If you are convinced it is bad gas, get rid of it. See Savage Wahine's write-up on cleaning the carb. I believe that is where there is a good photo of draining the tank. Basically, you just remove the fuel line from the carb, stick the end in the spout of a gas can, and turn the petcock to prime. Then drain the carb as well and fill 'er back up. If that doesn't fix the problem, we'll take it from there.
There are guys in here that can fix your bike by remote control. As for having nothing but the Clymers to stare at, you are much more fortunate than that. I have yet to pick one up. I downloaded the one online, but I've only looked at it a couple of times. The write-ups on this site, with photos, and advice in "people speak" have set me safely on the proper path several times.
I gotta get to work. Good luck, and I'll be checking in tonight to see how it's going for you. I'll bet you're smiling by then.
