That is so very common in Chinese restaurants! I heard it's because they (natch) want to get people in and out and the damn Occidentals take so long fumbling with the sticks, the restaurant could have the table turned over with new folks three times over. ... And I believe it!
Actually my older brother is very proficient with chop sticks. He'll go into a restaurant ask for sticks and they give him a dirty look. He starts using them and five minutes later the staff are all smiling at him and nodding assuredly.
