    ... rough, tough, and doesn't take sunshine from anyone. Seriously though, why do so many companies buy this stuff? Do they really save that much money over buying something even marginally better? Wouldn't that cost increase result in happier employees? I would think this could be a recruiting point as well, "Come work for us, we have nice toilet paper!". While a little comical, it might actually make the difference when considering multiple offers.

        And why don't we steal it and use it as sandpaper...

        At least artificial intelligence already is superior to natural stupidity

          Although my posterior obviously deserves the best available papers, my prime prime concern is avoiding the ignoble tragedy of "digital breakthrough".

            I feel similarly. The toilet paper that a company buys for its employees' use is ultimately an extention of what they think of them. If they buy the 1/2 ply sandpaper quality that tears at the meer mention of cleaning up your sunshine, they really don't give two sunshines about you. On the other hand, if they pick up the softer stuff that actually cleans and doesn't feel like you are ripping off flesh each time, they actually want your daily life at the company to be a little more enjoyable. Even if your day sucks, at least you have soft toilet paper. Lesson to be learned, it is the little things that count. However a nice benefits package doesn't hurt either.

              I ensure that Quality Paper is purchased! Be it Andrex or Dixel Kitten Soft (I do not want to know how they decided it was as soft as a kitten). In extremis I will resort to getting a Store Brand, but it will be the Luxury version. Never would I by recycled loo roll, just in case it actually IS recycled loo roll.

                        The sudoku toilet paper is my favorite by far. Then comes the $1000 bills (as printout, not real bills; but if I could afford real bills, it would rank on 1st place).

                          Acutally, that goes along with another of my inventions (which I post here from time-to-time). The idea: a roll of appropriately sized and perforated saran-wrap squares. If you buy the 20-roll package, you also get a free squeegee, string, and clothes pins . . .

                                  They have that where I work, and this is one of those issues that bothers me. I'd love to pay them to buy better paper, but that would ruin their precious standards. Whenever I can, I prefer to do my business at home with my triple ply three seashells.

                                      My mistake, I need a translator to go from euphemism -> Queens English -> American English. The problem is the first step. The second I can bumble my way through well enough most of the time.
