Found out most bike shops skip grease on pedal threads...

I was reading through the Park Tool blog last night and they had a stat that said around 60 percent of seized pedals come from no grease during install. It surprised me because I figured every shop would do that by default. I bought a bike from a shop in Portland last year and the pedals were a nightmare to remove after just 6 months. Has anyone else run into this issue with a new bike?

My LBS in Seattle did the same thing on a brand new $2,800 bike back in March.
