If they had implemented the law over even a day or two, those places would have been able to run firesales, get some income for their inventory, etc.

Also, think of places that rarely sell to go orders, they might have a few Styrofoam boxes around, but that's it. Now, they need a whole new type of inventory to run 100% carry out for the foreseeable future. None of them had the chance to prepare for that, because we had essentially zero notice.

I think they did it on purpose. They knew how much interaction would occur on St. Patrick's Day.
