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:

    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

    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.

    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.

    My last job had cheap paper in the hourly employee restrooms and the comfy soft stuff in the salary areas. Why a multi-billion dollar company has to maintain a class system for it’s workers I do not know but it was like that with everything.

    I’ve worked for very large organizations (30k+ employees) that didn’t use crappy paper.

    All depends on the company.

      Please note you should NEVER flush any baby wipes or similar down the toilet. They should go in the trash if you must use them, but using washable alternatives (if you have a baby for example) if possible is better. Baby wipes contain a lot of plastic. If you flush them they might clog up the toilet, which you might not care about at work. But if it doesn’t clog up the toilet, it gets into the sewer and causes trouble there, trouble your tax money / water bill money goes to fix. If it does go through smoothly it will in the worst case end up in rivers and oceans, floating around for a long time before degrading into microplastics.

        even if it’s 100% cotton (which I’m not sure it exists) it will cause trouble in the sewer as it won’t disintegrate like TP

        Ends up in Rivers & oceans? Are you living in 18th century England?

        It goes to a waste treatment facility. Plastics, dead goldfish, drugs, toys are common. Everywhere, people flush all sorts of things besides shit down toilets. It’s a pain, but totally expected.

        Cause it always happens.
