Re: garden city 20/40 makes me real, real nervous

moments later, another baysian regular sits to baysian regular #1's right, as Zheng sits down to deal with a new deck. Zheng makes me nervous; he looks like an asian william burroughs if he had been pickeled in fermaldehyde for 2000 years.

This description of Zheng is pure gold.
As for the rest, I'm sure this is just poker Garden City style. If Zheng had a new setup, he probably spread the first deck, put it in the Shufflemaster and then spread the second deck. By the time he's finished with the second deck, the first deck should be ready - they only hand shuffle if the Shufflemaster is busy/broken. Even if you believe that there is a potential problem, just avoid any hand shuffled deals; this will only happen if there's a chop, maybe once per down.
These games are donkalicious, but that comes at the expense of some suckouts - sometimes a lot - from hands that you simply cannot imagine made it to the river.
