I get to work early. Most days, I am even the first person on the floor.
This means I get to be the first person to use the women’s bathroom.
I know I am the first person because the seat is always up, and the roll of toilet paper is always new.
New. As in “You Need To Do That Awkward Peeling With Your Fingers To Get It Started” new.
Thing is, I KNOW the roll never gets used up in the day. There’s always a bit left over.
What I want to know is what happens to all those half-used toilet paper rolls.
Is there a stack of these lying in the janitor’s closet? Is someone sitting in a sweatshop rolling all the leftovers into a faux new roll by glueing the ends? Do the half rolls go to Toilet Paper Heaven?
I want to know.
This is not a joke.
I’m really asking the question.

(not sure where the unused paper go)
I once stayed at a really bad hotel, technically a motel, on Central in Albuquerque. They had soap from the Mariott and shampoo from the La Quinta Inn or somehwere. So maybe all the businesses around you are using the ends of your toilet paper rolls.
Where I work, they use those enormous industrial toilet paper rolls that are about 14″ in diameter. They probably have 5 miles of decidedly un-quilted paper on them. When they get small they go into a little side roll area and the big roll gets replaced. It;s frighteningly efficient.
whoa.
