Pro race mechanics use minimal glue and you may have heard of glue softening on 140˚ roads in Dubai but even so thousands of tires have stayed on over hundreds of thousands of racer-miles.
Having a shop glue the tires is probably more likely to give you sprained thumbs trying to eventually get the tire off.
If you have any direct experience otherwise, post it here:
