Noticed a weird seam pattern in a hotel lobby last week

I was up in Portland for a job and stayed at a Holiday Inn off I-5. The lobby had this dark gray commercial carpet and I spotted a seam running the wrong way across a high traffic door. Someone clearly didn't stagger the cuts or used a bad power stretcher. Made me wonder how many installers actually check traffic patterns before laying glue down. Has anyone else caught a terrible install in a public spot like that?

Wait are we supposed to be impressed that most people don't notice bad work? That's like saying most people don't taste the difference between fresh bread and stale bread. Yeah you CAN eat it but that doesn't mean the installer didn't screw up.

Ngl most people never even notice seams unless they're looking for them.
