Why do businesses buy cheap toilet paper?

[abcdefz]

...maybe it's one fourth the price, but don't people use eight times as much?

They switched to new toilet paper in our building, and, I swear, if I don't fold it into a 16-ply... well, let's just say it tears.

Hell, the paper tears off if you try to pull a sheet to unspool some. You actually have to turn the entire roll with your hand if you want more that one fingerprint-sized, torn piece of TP.

Bad. (n)

That's unlucky. The office i started working in has TP that's cushy like carpet, or something.

It is quite lovely. Makes Monday morning all the better.

Can you do a stock transfer for me? Just, like, a case or so.

Two cases. Two. (y)

[Otis Driftwood]

Cause they know a cheapskate like me will come and steal it.

the poo paper at my work isn't that bad really(y)

[Yorkshire~Rose]

Yeah the loo paper where I work is pretty good.

The worst was that shiny, hard stuff they used to put in my school toilets - Izal it was called - urgh, one slip and your poo would be half way up your back. Probably.

I would love to be able to get to a point in my life where I could wipe my ass with velvet.

...what's really awful are the places that dispense the single, very thin tissues instead of supplying a proper roll.

That's just taking it too far.

Growing up, our outhouse had a slowly-disappearing Sears catalog and some corn husks.

on the front page, all i could see was "why do businesses buy cheap..." and somehow i just knew this thread would be about toilet paper

i hate that

It was supposed to be "Why do businesses buy cheap and sell high?" but for a typo.
