Default Rotor problem?

Hi guys I was just wondering, on all 4 of my rotors they have surface marks. Kinda like scratches/ cracks in the rotor. They start from the center and go all the way out to the edge of the rotor. I've had them checked out at the dealership but they say it's fine. They're not deep at all but I don't think this is normal. Has anybody else had/seen this problem? Should I be concerned?
Sorry, no pics to post.... yet

Believe your service department. Minor surface scoreing is normal.

It's not scoring with the rotation of the rotors, these go out and away from the center parallel to the rotation and marks the pads leave.

Have you used your car for any track events? or just daily driving? Is there any vibration in the pedal on braking? Are you using stock pads?

never believe the service department. i know someone who was certified ase and used to work at a honda dealership and told me that there are alot of lazy 'mechanics' who will tell you your car is fine when it really isn't.... as long as the problem is minor.
