Found out the roast date on grocery store beans is usually a lie lol

So I was at a local coffee shop in Portland last week and the barista told me that most big brands put a 'roasted on' date that's actually just a packaging date. He said beans can sit in a warehouse for weeks before they get bagged. Checked my pantry and sure enough, that '2 weeks ago' roast date was actually from like 6 weeks back when I called the distributor. Has anyone else noticed this with their store bought stuff?

Didn't James Hoffmann say the same thing about supermarket beans in one of his videos?

That one where he roasted the pre-ground stuff or the whole bean video?
