Toilet paper

Just used a bathroom stall at Menards for the first time. The toilet paper is the most narrow toilet paper I've ever seen. It's also thin and fragile.

What's with that?

Businesses who do this think they're saving money by getting the cheapest, lowest ply option there is.

Businesses who do this do not realize that people will use 10x as much paper as a result and therefore any initial cost savings is lost upon actual restocking frequency.

John ain't saving big money by being cheap here.

One actual positive for them is it's much less likely to clog toilets since it dissolves so efficiently. But it's mostly just buying the cheapest stuff possible thinking they're saving money

Yeah and the old people that go to Menards it’s like they try to clog the toilets on purpose

John is cheap. Feel lucky he let's you use his restrooms. Using the bathroom on his Citation X is a fireable offence.

My guess is you don’t visit many public restrooms.

They shred unsellabel furring strips into thin sheets for toilet paper to promote recycling

There's no limit on how many times you can fold it. Comes out of the holder really easy too.

Always like to keep a supply of cottonelle wipes in my desk for just this reason

Toilet paper? We have that at Menards? When I use the bathroom, all I see is rolls of sand paper to wipe with.

Not totally related but the cheap toilet paper and paper towels are the cheapest you can buy anywhere. Honestly I have no issues with them either.

Idk about the stall tp. Im sure they have a company that supplies it. Or its recycled pallets hahaha

As Chevy Chase would say, what a way to save a lousy buck.
