You're right! When I buy plants at the nursery, if they're on the "outside shelves" and look like they've been fending for themselves for a while there, I don't worry too much... but if I pick them up from inside the protected area, I know they need to be gradually acclimated to outside conditions rather than just thrust out into my garden.
