You need to edit /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.boot.plist using any text editor and remove the kernel flag -v under
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>-v</string>

You may have to first copy com.apple.boot.plist on your desktop before you can edit it. Then just copy it back to Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration.
 
Not sure what you mean but here is the file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string></string>
</dict>
</plist>

Thanks

If you want to play it safe, take it the Apple Store again. Let them deal with it since they messed it up in the first place. Command file editing is a but advanced and can go real bad if wrongly edited.
