      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.

          You mean like some sort of asshole origami? Assigami?

          I don’t think I’ve ever wiped my ass with a star. Other than that weird weekend with Ryan Seacrest, of course.

    You have to layer the individual plys yourself. It’s a build your own toilet paper kit.

    Look, I get it that it’s cool to rag on a company for being cheap and short sighted but this toilet paper is not bought to save money. They know you use more. It’s bought because thin toilet paper breaks down quickly in water, meaning rather than needing a plumber to wrestle your turd nest out of the pipes with a snake, they can hang an out of order sign on the stall for a shift and try flushing again once the “toilet paper” has completely dissolved.

      Someone else explained this too. It’s still mildly infuriating when you have to use it. Can’t even pull it out without it breaking before there’s enough tissue for the job because of how the dispenser is designed.

    Oh look, it’s “using 3x as much toilet paper than normal because management wanted to save money so they got worthless toilet paper that only costs half as much as regular”.

    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

    This should be against the ADA. Many Americans have Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis, IBS, and other issues which make them need to use the restroom frequently. Using toilet paper of that quality quickly becomes painful and causes inflammation.

    Hopefully they realize it won’t save them anything when people use an entire roll every time they shit.

    Capitalism is why you have toilet paper in the first place.

      True, in a better system, we’d have superior solutions to posterior cleaning than the barbaric, wasteful method of using paper

      Edit: and better autocorrect as well

        You can move to North Korea and experience all the glory of a better system today!
