In all my experience with AA at dinners, meetings before meetings, meetings after meetings, BBQs at other members houses, etc. I have never seen, heard or even heard about anything like this.
Sorry to hear of your unfortunate experience with AA. I would say that your experience is very uncommon. I sent my sponsor and my grand sponsor a SS of your post asking if they have ever seen that around the rooms. They said they hadn't. They have 76 years of sobriety among them.
