My guess is...
1) you have low tire pressure in your right front tire, probably 36lbs versus 39 lbs or similar variance and
2) the person doing the alignment did not check tire pressures and, more importantly,
3) the person doing the alignment may have not checked abnormal camber against factory spec

Quite possibly a tire problem. If belt isn't properly centered in a tire...
it can generate a load in one direction.
Did it just happen, or has it been gradually getting worse? You might try this:
(I don't even know if car comes with full size spare..never looked. If it does, try spare on right front, then left front to see if tires change pull.)
Otherwise, interchange right front and right rear tires. If problem much less, probably the original front tire. Ask for adjustment from tire manufacturer.
If changing rights doesn't work, put tires back where they were and do lefts. It may not be right side tire.
Usually rears (even on Q) are less sensitive than fronts to tire imperfections.
It was a four wheel alignment, right?
