I hope you can find a way then, to gently let him know that his staff still has much to learn... It really is a challenge for pet stores...most can't afford to pay much, so
it's hard for them to keep experienced people.

With caps it's often better to just keep the snake in a super humid and warm environment for a few days and let the snake deal with removing them. You need to be more concerned with checking the tail tip, as stuck shed there will eventually cut off circulation and cause the snake's tail to become infected. The snake can eventually die from sepsis if it's not caught.
Do you have any recommendations for dehydrated eyes? Other than just keeping her in proper temps and humidity I mean. Thanks!

Other than proper husbandry, one of the fastest ways to rehydrate a snake is to feed it wet f/t rodents so it gets some extra water when it eats.

I am in pretty much the same situation. We have one local place that does a decent, though definitely not perfect, job and the chain stores.

Have you tried / considered a short soak ??
Can’t do any harm and MAY make an instant difference.. it certainly does for dehydrated snakes .. they look plumper and even get a bit of colour back straight after the soak . I even had a refuser eat the very next day which was a bonus ..

Beautiful eyes & happy snake...
The wound doesn't look like much to worry about...I bet she had a small scab that came off with the shed & opened it up a little. A little wound care for that
& the tail tip, she's nearly good as new. Makes sense that she was defensive when her vision was impaired, much the same as when snakes are in shed.
