I seriously doubt that any store would merely "claim to have" USDA Choice
beef.

What I think is funny is that some folks pay extra high prices for grass
fed (not feedlot) beef, while others pay extra low prices for grass fed
(not feedlot) beef that is sold ungraded, and comes from Mexico.

At one discount retailer, you can buy boneless ribeyes (family pack) for
$5.99/#. They are called "USDA Inspected." What they are is grass fed
beef from Mexico, inspected for safety, but not graded. The meat is less
tender, and has the grass fed flavor, which I find less flavorful, but
they are also likely to be more healthful that USDA Choice.
