Default Shoving over a neatly-stacked pot: normal practice or bad etiquette?

This is not a big deal, but I've been wondering about this.

I'm at a 1/1/2 spread limit game, sitting directly across from the dealer. I win a pot that consists of 4 neat stacks of 20 $1 chips. The chips are within my arm's length, but the dealer immediately pushes them over sloppily, knocking over all the stacks in a diagonal motion, so that they can't be restacked too easily.

Now the chips are about 2 inches closer to me than they were before, but are all in a heap and I need to restack them.

Is this normal, or should the dealer have just scooted the pot with both hands, to avoid toppling the stacks?
