Default Does you vet do this too???? I'm going to go nuts!

Ok, Lucie was supposed to have her vet appointment last Friday, and they called like 2 hours before her time to cancel due to some emergency...whatever...
So I rescheduled for today at noon, for her 16 week shots. I'll say this now, I am very anal about professionalism, I am all for having fun in the workplace, but when a client is there it's one thing to be friendly, it's another to be completely unprofessional. The lady at the desk tells me to sit down and she'll call me when she is ready, some other lady comes out from the back and asks me if this is Lucie's 2nd series, I go no, her 4th (I was going off of the card from the breeder in my hand it was actually her 5th) which they caught, but I was wondering why she didn't know when she was staring right at her chart. Anyway, so this guy comes up to me, whom I have never seen, to take her. She has already been car sick and is shaking because she is scared, so I say no, it's ok, I have her, so he says ok and I follow him. The lady at the desk stops and says "oh, he will take her back" so he looks back and says oh ok, and I say wait, I want to go back with her, and she says ummm noooo there is anesthesia and stuff it's too much of a risk they will bring her right back. So I made sure right there that she wasn't getting the rabies today. They acted as if I was stupid for asking that. The last time I took her for her shots, she didn't want to sit still and she yelped when the vet did it, so I was waiting to hear her cry, which I didn't so who knows what they did. Does you vet allow you to go back for their shots???
My other problem is this, when they brought her out, I was waiting to pay and the guy who took her back was in one of their rooms with another employee saying that she told him they just wanted to see him carry the pink bag back there (Lucie was in her pink carrier) and the lady at the desk was telling him to "zip it"
They did not tell me how much Lucie weighs, I don't even know if they weighed her, and she is now curled up sleeping right by me, she wont even eat. Last time she had no reaction to her shot, so I don't even know if they adjusted the dosage for her weight.

(sorry for the novel I just wrote I am so frustrated with this vet, I think this was the last draw)
