I live in California and the reality is that most people bring bags with them rather than paying for the reusable ones every time, which was the objective of the law. Safeway and other supermarkets banned reusable bags briefly at the start of the pandemic but they've allowed them for months now.
Since I grew up in a state where you got free plastic bags, and went to college in another such state, it took some adjustment. But it's not really that hard - pretty soon you just remember to bring a bag when you're shopping, in the same way that you might remember to bring your wallet.

My Trader Joe's only allows reusable bags if you bag the groceries yourself; the employees aren't supposed to touch them
- colechristensen 6y agoIt is like the other commenter said, hit or miss. More importantly, sanitizing trumps rules. It is simply a bad idea in a pandemic to carry around and re-use plastic bags. Lowering the surface area of potential contact is important.
