Do you get perforated toilet paper at work?
I find it odd that my employer can't seem to afford perforated toilet paper. We have these big monster rolls of single sheet toilet paper that isn't pre perforated. There is a completely useless razor edge perpendicular to the roll which is completely ineffectual at it's intended purpose so in essence, we have to manually rip each section of TP by ourselves. Not that this is a task for hercules, but I wonder how much more per roll would perforated toilet paper be? You'd think a company that has $billions in revenue would be nice enough to provide it's employees perforated toilet paper.
I don't feel empowered!

Re: Do you get perforated toilet paper at work?
Same stuff for the same reasons. They probably figured out how much it is costing them in loss productivity and are tyring to minimize associated costs.

Re: Do you get perforated toilet paper at work?
This must be one of the oddest topics ever in After Hours...
Is it the employer, or the cleaning subcontractor, that supplies the paper? In my building, it's the latter, but fortunately their papers is indeed perforated...

Re: Do you get perforated toilet paper at work?
My old college did the same deal. I always ended up with two foot long strips with teeth marks down the last foot and a half every time I wiped. The amount they save in the unperforated paper is probably more than lost by people like me that use four times as much toilet paper as they otherwise would.

You must work on a construction site.
Who doesnt take a crap at work otherwise?? That's like a 15 minute break I look forward to every day!
Our TP is perferated, but it's doesnt roll smoothly. Everytime I pull, it rips at the first square. Exactly at .......... THE PERFERATED PART!!
bugs the crap outta........Hey...I think I just found the reason why yours isnt perferated!! |

Re: Do you get perforated toilet paper at work?
I've done some internet searching for wholesale toilet paper suppliers and since they have a whole lotta different sources, it's hard to compare the prices between perforated and non-perforated between the same companies...
We do have our janitorial services outsources much like our IT services but you would think that we would still have some control over the supply, I bet if we told them to splurge on the perforated ones, we'd get it..
Then there's the fact that they always clean the restrooms from 12-12:30, just after most folks lunchhour and it's not staggered, they close every men's room in the particular section!!!

Re: Do you get perforated toilet paper at work?
Costco does the same thing for their bathrooms.... and we sell preforated toilet paper in BULK!
Father: She didn't say, "I'm not in" She said, "We're not in" "We," you see, "we" Now what does "we" mean.
Bobby: I believe it's the plural form, indicating more than one. Do you want me to conjugate that for you, pop? Do you know what conjugate means, dad?

Re: Do you get perforated toilet paper at work?
Why does it even need to be something that's perforated in the first place? As stated, it's not that difficult to tear. Secondly, considering it's purpose and where it ends up, does it really matter whether or not you have clean lines where it's torn. Or are some folks so anal this is an issue for them?
By the way, I just checked, ours is perforated here at work. Lucky me!

Re: Do you get perforated toilet paper at work?
I didn't know there was non-perf TP, but have you tried asking management about it?
Or if it's really important to you, pretend you're going to Europe and take your own roll with you.
