Capitalism and its consequences have been a disaster for the human anus
Just use a lot of it I guess. It’s just gonna cost them more in the long run.
Except when it’s that thin and crappy, some of it’s going to break off no matter how much you use.
You can use a lot of it to make the company spend more money refilling, sure, but you can’t do a decent wipe with that crap, pun intended, no matter what you do with it.
Just absolutely demolish the toilet every time you use it.
Make them suck out that half-a-ply-ass-TP with oil rig equipment.
Gotta do the star fold with the thin stuff, get the grain aligned like plywood to keep it from splitting.
As a person with bidet at home, I actually carry my own paper when I poo in public places.
I do know that makes me insane.
The stuff at my job is actually okay but I do keep an emergency roll in my backpack.
I don’t see why it makes any difference whether it’s two-ply coiled 50 times around the roll, or one-ply coiled 100 times around the roll.
I actually prefer a handful of one ply. It’s soft and there are more gaps between the plys which makes your handful puffier. You just have to take a longer piece. If that extra effort results in people conserving over time: great.
I love these false economies that some corporate bean counter thinks saves the company money
Because you see, whenever I see this trash in a cubicle, I lovingly build my own 8-ply, using more paper and burning company time
They thought the service they hired was the least expensive.
The Janitorial service is the one cutting costs because they are not the ones using the toilet paper and they only care about their bottom line.
Nicer paper means they lose the contract. Capitalism and somebody else’s problem all the way down.
It definitely takes more time to gently extract enough paper for the job without it crumbling to dust.
This toilet paper is less and saving money on toilet paper and more about saving money on plumbing.
The nice multiply, soft booty hole paper doesn’t break down as easily in the pipe. In your house this isn’t always a problem, there are few people shitting and wiping there, and the distance to the street is relatively small. It can be a problem, if you’re a heavy wiper on an old house using Charmin, but most of the time it’s a non issue.
In an office building it’s a different story. Hundreds of people on multiple floors, with someone practically always shitting. And the cost to even call a plumber to an office building starts at 4 figures for a cheap visit, with the affected stall down for days. If the entire bathroom isn’t closed.
So, yes, the 1/3rd ply paper sucks, it’s absolutely about saving money, just not on the paper.
Where the pipes that are supposed to come out of the porta-johns? Cause that sounds like bullshit to me. And porta-johns is where I mostly see that kind of toilet paper.
Also the cost for a plumber to visit an office doesn’t start at 4-figures. My friend is a plumber and says even at a 4 hour minimum call out it won’t hit 4 figures, even in HCOL areas. I’m an electrician and I believe because we make similar and I know how much I charge out.
Think like an engineer. That isn’t 1 ply, it is materials needed to make 20 ply.
What always gets me when I see paper like this, is just how much manpower, engineering time, experimentation, materials science, and just sheer concerted effort went into making paper this fucking thin and useless.
I like how the dispensers roll holder is always too tight so it over tensions and breaks the paper and the elasticity sends it back up and around the top of the roll. Then you have to pull the roll through by pushing up against it at the same time to get it back out but you go the wrong way so you reverse and then there’s too much length so that when it comes free it’s too long and it touches the ground. So you break it off and throw it away and start again, pulling the roll only for it to over tension and snap again
Also what manager or purchaser looks at the Costco TP flat, then looks at this and thinks this is somehow a better option?
It’s probably because they are hoping the purchaser is using a spreadsheet going “x cents per sheet” and this is rigged to jump to the top of that sort order
It definitely doesn’t work like that.
Even 20 layers of that stuff is still like using wax paper to schmear melted chocolate.
That only works if the paper isn’t slippery.
It just slides over each other, ripping one part if you pull just a little too hard and the other sticking to your ass.
When I encounter single ply, I intentionally use three times as much. I’m vindictive.
I buy single ply for home and use more of it but that’s the beauty of it. Buying something like Cottonelle is going to be miserable on the pipes at home. You can use more single ply but because it isn’t meant to be used like a paper towel, you can still flush it and trust it to break down appropriately. We have bidets installed on all the toilets too.
