This is poor operating procedure. When you check in to the pattern they give you the current pressure altitude and you are supposed to set the altimeter to that. Then you respond that you are "with" weather report (current alpha eg Kilo) acknowledging that you have received the current weather and other advisory information provided like the runway you are supposed to use. This is pilot error.
