where the heck are you? to come back from a dealer oil change with low oil is just about inexcusable. mistakes happen, but this is one that could have been really bad.
btw, check the oil level in the morning and see where it is then, too. ten minutes after shutdown is a good indicator but not always the definitive word.
if this is what really happened, you need a new dealer AND you need to make Chevrolet aware of this. for your own sake and others.

When I got my first oil changed by the dealer the service manager went over and talked with the tech and I got to witness the whole conversation. He gave him the oil I brought in and told him it takes 10.5 quarts. The Tech said, but this isnt a Z06, its got an LS3, and the manager said "the oil system is exactly the same on this car, its just like a Z06" to which the tech nodded and all was well.

It depends on exactly how you check a dry sump. If you check it at the wrong time you will get a low reading. If you top it off after getting a erroneous low reading, you could overfill the system and cause damage.
If the dealer only drained one plug, there would have still been old oil in the system, requiring less oil to refill.
