do we mean the pistons popped out of the callipers due to poorly fitted pads and the calipers are bolted on fine still...?

The only way for the brake discs to come off is if the wheels drop off.

I will presume the OP means the pads.

The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark

They are fixing your car and I'd expect them to also give you some monetary compensation to keep you quiet. No doubt about it, they screwed up and in not double checking the brakes, I strongly suspect there's another mechanic unemployed today. Your better half had a lucky, lucky escape.

That would very much depend on who in the garage did the work.
