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:

      my previous job, years ago. the receptionist did the supplies buying… she was no dummy. got the good stuff for ‘her’ restroom–the one she and us peons used. boss was prohibited from entry, as he had his own nobody else would dare use after his building-clearing toxic dumps. i’ll say one thing. he was regular af, every fucking day 2pm. it was time to take a break and clear the area.

      a bidet a better investment

      Edit: A sports water bottle can provide a strong stream of water. That’s all I going to say

    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.

    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)

    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 used to work field service. I would drive all around and fix machines. If i used the customers restroom, and they had single ply TP, or the auto-magic paper towel dispensor spit out 6 inches, i knew that company was a bad place to work.
