When I was in West Covina, California (l.a. county) In 2019, the stores only had re-usable bags you can purchase.

But yet When my friend got food from Subway, in n out burger and Yoshinia Beef Bowl, They were allowed to put them in plastic bags. WTF?

This applies to NY, but applicable elsewhere.

According to a summary of the law by the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) an “exempt bag” is “used solely to contain food sliced or prepared to order” and “made of plastic provided by a restaurant, tavern or similar food service establishment, as defined in the New York state sanitary code, to carry out or deliver prepared food.”

Other exemptions apply in cases of packing up raw proteins, plants, flowers and food sliced or prepped to order. Also not included in the ban are foods parsed from bulk into smaller portions.
