No, people keep changing the goal posts 
I originally said I've seen people walk in the gym and squat 315 without never squatting before. I put the percentage as small but I've seen it done
Then the guy was talking about people at his gym as a whole who can squat 300.
My numbers could be off. I didn't realize 300 was looked at as a spectacular benchmark for a squat.

It's not. I have chicken legs and wasn't far from it. Never tried a 1 rep max and maybe could have squeezed it out. There were definitely people doing it, just not as regularly as you stated and certainly not anyone who "hasn't ever lifted" walking in to do it.
I haven't lifted in several months, but still go to 24 hour fitness gyms all around Houston to swim and use the tread mill and it's pretty much the same everywhere. Some are more "lifting" gyms, and some are more "soccer mom jazzercise type" locations, but across the board, it's not too often people are squatting big numbers.

The majority of the NBA, MLB, and NHL probably can't squat 300 lbs. It's a lot of weight.
