What the heck? I guess I've discovered the "comment" character. I had a lot of text deleted from my post.
"coffee shop training programs" (good one!)
Seriously ... don't expect so much from their training. And when you find someone who doesn't do this properly, explain the proper alignment and explain why it is the proper alignment. I'm guessing that it's just a lapse in the rigorous training program (perhaps they were out sick that day). I'm sure that they can learn from a well meaning customer.

I don't know what coffee shop you frequent, but whichever it is, I'd recommend giving feedback via whatever means they have available. Places like Starbucks, at least, take their training and methods very seriously--I'd bet you'd get a decent response out of them.

It also just feels right to have your fingers on the seam while you're drinking.

the two places that I actually go for warm and highly caffeinated beverages here (Jittery Joe's and Hot Corner) seem to do a pretty good job of this. Since I am usually walking while trying to drink my coffee, having the seam opposite the opening is very important to me. The funny thing is that I never actively think about this and I didn't realize that anyone else noticed this sort of thing.
