I took my car to Goodyear to get my winter wheels and tires installed. They are already mounted on the rim. I have staggered tires (wider in rear). They freaking put one wide one and one skinny one in the rear and front.
I've been driving like this for about 500 miles. I just noticed now and am going to get it fixed. Will this have any long term problems besides uneven tire wear? Like anything serious for the suspension?

You're the one that paid to have mounted tires installed on your car, and didn't even check before you left.
I would say your level of intelligence/skill is just slightly below the tech that did the actual work

You should know that most expect the paid, qualified mechanic to do their job properly and very few check the work done (especially if they never had bad experience in the past).
A typical mistake for tire shops is to not use the recommended manufacturer pressure ratings for front and back (some are different). Since I had my new tires setup at wrong values, I know to check/adjust pressure.
How many of us do you think do that?
Lol. I admit I don't have a lot of knowledge when it comes to stuff like this, I could have done it myself but decided to pay 15 bucks to save the effort. Why shouldn't I expect someone who does this crap for a living to do his job correctly? Would you cut open your burger before you take a bite to make sure it isn't raw? No, you would take a bite first and when it's gushing with blood and is red on the inside you would complain and get it fixed.
