That's why I think you should report them! I have nothing against shops who play by the rules (proper paperwork and know how to care for the animals) but your shop did con you! A 'proper' pet shop should know what to feed to tortoises and they should know about legislation regarding selling the animals (paperwork). So either your shop genuinely did not know (and that's not excuse because then they shouldn't be selling tortoises), or they did know and tried to deceive you (they hoped that you don't know). Without getting on tortoise forum you may find out about the paperwork only in a few years time and then you may think that you mislaid it.
ETA: just sent this as you wrote the previous response!
