I don't think it's abominable, but I don't think it's always a good thing to do, either.
Depends whether the bookstore cares which books are facing out.If the bookstore has a policy for which books face out (deal with the publisher, or arcane formula, or random order from the manager), then facing them out would annoy the workers.
I won't stop any stealth facer-outters if I ever get a book published, but I'll probably think at least twice before doing it myself. (I don't face-out books now.)
