Of all people that I have to disagree with, it just HAD to be you.

I learned 2-3 months ago that my regular grocery store does buy
1st ground meat from a packing plant/wholeseller.
Then they do a 2nd grind and that's what we get on the shelves.

I wasn't happy to hear that. I always thought they did all grinds
in store. Not so.
