    Supposedly it’s to make it so that no one wants to steal it, which I guess is a problem in some parts of the world where even shitty toilet paper is coveted.

      I used to nick it anyway. One day I ran out of tp and forgot to buy some, so just took it from work. Then I got the bug and took another next week, another next week. Industrial sized rolls too. I ended up with a stupid sized stockpile. Then covid happened. Had to keep my curtains shut so nobody saw that I had so so so so so so so fucking much.

        Poor enough to prefer to shit at work when I can get paid for it and not use up my own TP, but rich enough to buy decent TP for myself at home.

        The early COVID times were another matter.

      I’m not sure it’s stealing that’s a primary concern. It’s probably more that single ply doesn’t clog very often, even when using a ton of paper. It’s easier to flush, especially in a commercial type environment with high pressure flushing toilets. Which means less need for EVS to clean up issues, either intentional or not.
