questions that need answering but not enough strength to listen

Did they start out as the big ones that are 2′ across or just regular ones?
I’m a bit surprised nobody has taken them home.

Maybe OP’s workplace has some weird TP dispenser that is designed so that it becomes inaccessible below a certain thickness of the roll?

You meant to say, “I never have to buy toilet paper again!”

BUT WHY!!!! At least you know your coworkers are trustworthy. That stack would be gone in like 2 weeks at most places.

Fine, as long as they don’t use the “used” half

Hide them and start replacing larger with the smaller ones until it’s all used up. That’s just a waste of money sitting there

Do you work at a hotel that has to change it out between guests?

Let me guess, you work in hospitality? Likely not a generic motel/hotel but a “resort” thats really just a Hotel with a nicer pool like a HGV resort

It might be semantic or I might just be an optimist, but wouldn’t that be a mountain of partially *unused* rolls?

Each one of those has been sprayed with a good amount of toilet mist.

I’d be taking like 4-5 of these home every week….

Definitely not the mental image when I hear “partially used” 🤢

I work in a hotel, we replace low rolls from from the rooms with full ones and bring them to the employee bathroom.

Here’s my take:
One day, the boss went for a shit and there was no toilet paper and so he screamed at the janitor to make sure there was always toilet paper.
Bobby, the janitor, explained sometimes the nightshift would use it up and on that particular day the boss had unfortunately made it to the bathroom before he could.
The boss screamed at Bobby again and told
him to make sure that he needs to place 1 flesh roll in both stalls at the beginning and end of each shift. Bobby tried to explain that some days replacing both rolls would leave some half used and didnt know what to do with the leftovers.
The boss in all his infinite wisdom told Bobby to leave them in the bathroom “in the corner”
Bobby followed the boss’ instructions to the T.
There is now a polymarket bet that the fire marshal is getting a call soon.

I would stop buying TP and just start taking some of those home after each shift

Have these people forgotten the COVID times already?

Do you work in semi-high-end hospitality? When I worked in a fancy restaurant we’d switch the half rolls so guests had nicer looking full ones and we’d stash the half finished rolls for the staff toilets.
Traditional-Pop-2200 on
In my experience with public or EVEN employee bathrooms people with shit on their hands love to touch the inside of the roll while reeling some off. Also, sometimes they get shit on the side of the role that has not yet unraveled. Both equally disgusting and should be incinerated immediately. Anyways I have to ask, could these be left over shit rolls? lol
Active_Ad_5322 on
I wonder is it’s one of those low key experiments where someone saw a box of TP and wondered “what is I just keep adding to the pile and see how long it would take anyone to say something “

Former janitor here. The place where I worked used standard home toilet paper receptacles. It would have been very easy to leave a new roll on the back of the toilet and change the receptacle roll only when it was empty.
My supervisor said the business owners were emphatic that rolls needed to be changed if there was less than one-third of a roll left and it was unacceptable to leave a spare roll on the back of the toilet or anywhere else in the restroom.
So we, too, had a toilet paper collection like this in the employee locker room.
We also had to make sure there was a toilet brush in one particular restroom. We weren’t allowed to use it elsewhere and return it: had to stay. No other restroom was allowed to have a toilet brush, so I had to carry a toilet brush on my rounds of the other restrooms.
This was the same place that insisted dusting artwork needed to be done using clean paintbrushes and vacuuming chairs wasn’t thorough enough unless every single chair crevice was probed every single night.
I didn’t stay there long.
I suspect one of the higher-ups had irritable bowel syndrome or something similar.

100yrs ago I used to work for an industrial laundry company that also supplied consumables for restrooms and such. They used to sell the giant toilet paper rolls to me at cost (which was like $1) and it’d last like three months at home. Best hustle ever. Sure the paper was cheap junk business grade, but I was young and the price was right.

5 years ago, that would’ve been gold.
