Went to Les Schwab for their complimentary tire rotation. Noticed they swapped the left front tire with left rear tire and right front with right rear tire. I know that it’s supposed to be rear tires to opposite front and front to rear on same side (front wheel drive rotation)
Does it matter that the shop did it this way?

Well, … if your tires are directional ie. sport a ROTATION arrow imprint on the side wall, … rotation is correct. But if no rotation arrows, rear tires should have been crossed: rear left to front right and rear right to front left. Front tires stay on same side but move to the rear.
Anyway, no big deal. Just assure rotation is performed correctly next time.
F.S.
Wrong, but not the end of the world. Maybe do the next rotation a bit ahead of schedule.
