5 minutes and 30 seconds are both exaggerations but yeah it can take about a minute per deck. It's just a colossal waste of time.
I've only seen it requested once and I was shocked the floor obliged without any argument whatsoever. I guess it's not very often a nit buying in for 50bb manages to hold onto chips long enough to suspect the deck is unlucky.
You spread the deck out, mix them for 10-20 seconds, and gather them up - 30 seconds. But whether it's 30 or 60 seconds, once a day, I wouldn't exactly classify that as a "colossal" waste of time, at least not until you start requiring the floor be called over.
I guess that's the definition of a "pet peeve"- some small thing that bothers you more than it bothers many other people. I have my own share of them. I just don't find washes annoying, that's all.
Maybe the people who request so many washes are doing it because they know it bothers you so much and are trying to put you off your game.
