Can we talk about the 'fresh' beans at that new place on Elm Street?

Last week I grabbed a bag from 'Daily Grind' that said roasted on the 15th, but the beans were totally flat and oily. I checked the batch code and it was actually from over a month ago, which explains the stale taste. Has anyone else run into shops selling old stock as fresh lately?

Ugh, feels like everywhere does that now.

Wait, didn't it used to be just a few places? I mean @kaiharris is totally right, it's everywhere now. I used to think it was fine, but seeing it all the time changed my mind.
