Assuming they charged you the flat rate for a coolant change, you didn't get your money's worth as the Mercedes job number would include removing the block drains. They didn't do this because it's probably "two hard".
The block drain is easy to reach on my M103, and it's actually a valve, so a hose can be attached and routed to a drain pan. Changing the coolant on my 190E is the easiest and least messy coolant change job of any car I've ever owned.
Chances are the V-8 drain plugs are tough to reach, so they just didn't open them up. You should go elsewhere the next time you need service.
