It doesn’t bother me, I’m of the opinion you should wipe until you see blood either way.

    Eh, probably not imo. Most companies are just cheap, especially if they’re using those commercial dispensers designed to reduce excess use.

      Most company leadership just isn’t that deep. They go through the supply catalog, order whatever’s cheap or whatever they’ve always ordered and then go about their day.

      the cheap af tp and the dispensers that lock up the oh, so precious supplies, is also to prevent theft.

      Mhm. It’s easier to get bulk garbage thin paper. When I go into the office, I have my own stash of the nicest plush TP available so my ass doesn’t bleed. I miss my bidet when I have to leave the house D:

    That’s why I treat it like a Chuck E. Cheese ticket machine and use about 50 tiles a wipe.

        Except when you switch to the good stuff people will pull a shitload of sheets out of habit and you’ll have way more clogs.

        Ask me how I know.

    They use one’s made for large office buildings in large office buildings. It breaks down in the plumbing system. You can use the luxury ones at home because you’re only flushing a few times a day and it’s a generally short trip out of the house into the sewers. Office buildings see much heavier flushing and that good good might create expensive clogs in their complicated plumbing systems.

    Now if we are talking small office and not a whole building then yeah your boss is just cheap.

        I suggest the infrastructure. A high rise apartment block will have much better plumbing and capacity as it is designed to handle every apartment having at least one bathroom and toilet. And realistic expectations would be many of those are in use at the same time as people get ready around the same time in the morning for work.

        An office block has to fit minimum requirements so that is enough toilets per floor to meet regulations and unlikely many or any showers / baths. And not every bathroom is going to be in use at the same time - there will peak times of course but not every employee on the toilet at the same time.

        When building an office block they’re not going to have anywhere near the same infrastructure as an apartment block. It’s one of the reasons it’s expensive to convert an office block to apartments.

          Best case is probably to design as if all objects of interest do a thing (e.g. all toilets, faucets, etc. flushed at once)

    I’ve been told by multiple facility administrators that the main reason is to prevent toilet paper from being stolen. The shittier the paper, the less likely it’s taken

      This was it when I was in the military. Requisition the nice stuff? Joe’s took it home.

      Single ply? They break through with their fingers after 1/4 of the wipe, but I didn’t have to order nearly as much of it.

    I thought it was for flushability. That paper disintegrates almost instantly once it hits the water, I’m pretty sure that saves the money too by preventing clogs.

    But it would make sense that it’s for discouragement…

      Any toilet paper will do that. I promise you can’t clog a toilet by only using toilet paper, unless you use a whole roll or more.

        As a father… of 2 girls… and a wife. I promise, you’re wrong.

        I have three of those super flush toilets. I cannot clog it… I’ve completely filled the fucking thing with shit and it flushes. The other gender in the house? They’ve done it twice so far. We’ve had this house for about 8 months now. I’m baffled.

            My 3-year old son has clogged our super-flush toilet on several occasions, without involving any TP at all. So add toddler shit to the list too.

            I’m the one that had to clear it… I’m pretty sure putting my face within 3 ft of the bowl uniquely qualifies me to talk about how much toilet paper was in the bowl.

    The only real solution is to just poop more. Keep wiping. Clog those johns. Make them pay to fix the busted pipes from our collectively massive BMs.

    I don’t care if it’s single ply. I just fold tp until it has the appropriate thickness anyway.

    If it’s single ply, I just use a lot of TP and make it many-ply.

      They probably want us grateful for one ply. Soon, they cut costs even more and just give us the raw unprocessed stuff, plywood.

    One place I worked for I asked about this and they said it was because thicker toilet paper was more likely to clog the plumbing

    No clue if that’s true. I use a bidet with a built in dryer bc I’m a baller

      I mean it’s true, in the same sense that in some countries you don’t flush the toilet paper as it will cause plumbing issues. It’s all about design of the plumbing at that point, and in places where you flush toilet paper it shouldn’t be that big of a concern unless they skimped on the plumbing.

      Also as my grandma taught me, there is such a thing as a courtesy flush before ya wipe.
