This is another one of those long-standing myths. See: http://www.loc.gov/rr/scitech/mysteries/coriolis.html for the origin of the myth and why it's simply not true on such a small scale.Someone once told me that the Kodak plants in the southern hemisphere had to mix emulsions in the opposite direction due to the change in direction of the stirring vortices in the kettles.
IDK if it was true or not. I didn't bother following it up. They were probably playing a practical joke.
