I've seen someone bring their own bags to the grocery store like four or five times since the bag ban got implemented here in LA County. Everyone just gets the thicker plastic "reusable" bags and treats them as disposable. Honestly I think it has made things worse when it comes to the amount of plastic use.

That seems weird, to me. To see it so little, I lived in GA from 2010-2020 and there was no bag ban. I saw way more reusable bags than just four or five times over the last 5 years I was there (about the same time as the bag ban has been in effect in CA). And this was going to the bog standard grocery stores, nothing fancy.
Maybe if they were $2 each instead of $0.25 then...
