That didn’t take long. California’s battle over Proposition 67 was close — 52 percent of voters said yes to a single-use plastic bag ban, 48 percent said no — but it was decisive enough that the bags have already disappeared from grocery and retail stores.

Now the state’s 39 million residents will be hard pressed to find a plastic bag that isn’t already lining a bathroom trash can or among a wad of other bags under a kitchen sink.

The plastic bag ban took effect immediately after it was passed Tuesday, catching some grocery shoppers by surprise.

Here are the details: Single-use plastic carry-out bags are gone, and shoppers can either bring their own bags or pay 10 cents for the recyclable bags offered by the store. Retailers will keep the money from the ban after Proposition 65, which sought to direct those funds to environmental causes, failed on Election Day.

At target, the new bags looks like this:

California shoppers, some here in San Diego, were caught off-guard.

Didn't know the law for no more plastic bags would be enacted the day after the vote... I was a bit underprepared after my trip to Target. — Kimberly (@KimberlyRobin) November 11, 2016

Am I super late or what.... Since when do you have to pay 10 cents for a grocery bag at @Walmart ? — Justeen Maeva (@steeeeniie) November 11, 2016

Some people were just plain mad about it.

Who cares about Trump right now can we please talk about this plastic bag ban and tax!?!? — tayler (@_taylerrenee) November 11, 2016

Everyone's worried about the new president, and I'm over here worried that I gotta pay for plastic bags at the grocery store now. — Lillian Grace (@Lilliaannneee) November 11, 2016

we really have to pay 10 cents a bag at the grocery store now...looks like I'll be carrying my thanksgiving dinner in my hands out the store — ashleigh zeigler (@zig_the_nig) November 10, 2016

Others were happy the change came so quickly.

Thank you, Vons, for already enforcing the plastic bag ban from Prop 67. Wildlife will only benefit from this. — DANI (@excusemedani) November 10, 2016

California said no to single use plastic bags--great victory!

Thank you so much to everyone that supported this effort. — Fay Crevoshay (@faycrev) November 11, 2016

That was fast. You now have to pay for plastic bags everywhere. Walmart's new plastic bags are so nice! They're reusable. — Lindsey Jones (@Laj93) November 11, 2016

R.I.P. to grocery bags as trash bags.

So now I have to buy plastic bags to line my bathroom trash cans. Might as well take them to the grocery store 1st. #HowIsThisDifferent — Patrick Devereaux (@devereauxp) November 11, 2016

Everyone freaks out about Trump and I'm just upset that we banned plastic bags. Now I have to buy packs of garbage bags, not reuse pl ones. — Patrick Shanley (@pshanley88) November 11, 2016
