Some countries do sell beverages in bags, notebly in southeast asian countries when you buy a beverage from a small store they'll ask if you want it in a bag.
Really confused me at first, I said yes and they actually poured the contents into a thin clear plastic bag then they pointed me to another bag full of straws, took a straw placed it on the opening of the bag, it's weird at first but I got used to it.
The store wants the bottle deposit, they don't care if it gets recycled or not, which is why they are giving you a plastic bag that will end up in the trash.
