The outlets are wired independently. I can trip the GFI and still get power from the left side.
Then in that case, yes it’s illegal.
But what Brett said is true. If the electrician did their job correctly, the regular outlet would’ve been down stream of the gfi. And both outlets would trip.
If I were you, I would mention that to a manager.
