Many tyre fitting chains will refuse to fit new tyres on the front. They will swap back wheels to the front and fit new to the rear. If you don't agree they will ask you politely to sling your hook.
It's to do with risk assessment on your behalf, and quality assurance to minimise risk and liability for themselves and their insurers.

I didn't say it did.
I can tell that you have doubts. Costco uk will absolutely refuse to fit new tyres on the front while part worn ones remain at the back.
