Honestly it depends on the pet shop...some places have students that hand feed babies. Although I am sure some of them are more than capable of doing it, I would not feel safe with them hand feeding a baby of mine.
If the shop has someone who has had a lot of hand feeding experience and is taking care of your baby I would leave him there...I know it will be hard but in the long run it will be for the best. Besides whats a few more months wait when you have the rest of your life to spend with your little grey.
Also, since you sound uncomfortable with hand feeding, maybe you should try and learn the method anyways, and do a bit of feeding in the store. If you are not comfortable at all, I'd say just keep trying a bit every time you are at the store visiting. Who knows, maybe you'll be comfy enough by then and you can bring him home with confidence!

Good luck!!! I know how hard waiting is...My mum's catalina took a year to ween!!
P.S - people say it can be a delicate process in weening them off baby food to pellets. Personally I have hand raises two GCC and a mitred..and I don't even remember how it happened, but eventually they weened...It sounds weird but the bird will let you know when it's ready.
