Bad Ettiquette asking to Spade the Deck?

[Lenman_TJQKA]

Hi All,

I'm fairly new to poker, so I'm wondering about an etiquette question:

If I discover a new regular home game somewhere, where basically no one knows me, is it a delicate issue to ask to have the deck "spaded" (spread faceup in sequence to display that all cards are present & accounted for) if it is not already volunteered? Especially if the limits are fairly significant, that is...Or should that not matter?

Thanks,
