It shouldn't but they do.
So you want this guy to pay the bill for all these professionals to come in, probably take core samples of his concrete, etc. etc. etc. when he could just fix it himself for under $100 and get the same result?
I'd like to see what you'd do in his situation.
It could be very bad, but chances are pretty high that it's not. His foundation is on bedrock, it's not going anywhere. The cracks along the sides are where the concrete floor poured after the foundation meets the foundation, the concrete is not once piece in this area. It's very common for tilers to get lazy and just build up the mortar on the back of a tile then put it in to level out the floor rather than grinding down the difference between the two pieces of concrete. And before you get all upset again, the two slabs of concrete shouldn't have a difference in height but the finish on the top of the foundation is very rough in comparison to the finish on the floors.
If his foundation was drifting, you would see huge cracks in the exterior stucco if you've got that.
