Default grounding kit = bad alternator

I just put on my grounding kit at midas and one of the other workers said it will be too much ground for the alternator? ummmm is this possible, because there are only 4-5 ground wires coming from the negative side of the battery.

too much ground for the alternator ah HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH funniest thing I've heard all day. A ground is a ground is a ground is a ground, doesn't matter how many cables connect chassis points to the battery negative terminal.

If anything the more grounds the better, because bad grounds can and do cause problems w/ engine running and idling smoothly, etc, so might as well give the engine and chassis good grounds.
