I have no desire to get on that horse. But this is simply inexcusable. And no, "other cars do it" is not an acceptable excuse!

Don't some manufacturers put baffles inside the tank to minimize the gross movement of the gasoline? (I hope that makes sense )

In sports cars typically yes. I haven't looked inside this one so I can't say. However the baffles that are usually placed in the tank are there mainly to stop the rapid weight transfer of the fuel from side to side (tank slosh), not to try and keep fuel near the pump.
