Here's the deal. Someone or some ones are using all but the last sheet of the paper town in the brk. rm. It's driving me crazy. Esp. since I'm the one who has to change it all the time. I'm at my rope's end. HELP! I want to see if anyone has a written policy they can share with me abt. this iss. If so, please post it here.

Thx.

Here is what you do. Find out who did it and file a SAR for insider abuse. When Law inforcement shows up do not fight it but insist that you are sane. They will put you in a place where the paper towns towels are free and they have union employees to replace them. crazy laugh

Pulling people out of the ditc...
you think that is a big deal? we used to have people almost come to blows at a former job about do you hang the roll to fall from the front or back. It got so heated (i'm not kidding, over freaking paper towels) that we finally solved it by installing a 2nd dispenser. So, the one on the right side of the sink hung from the front, the one to the left of the sink hung from the back. Someone (whistle) used to swap the 2 periodically, just for giggles...

yes, of all the issues in life we have to deal with, this apparently was someones big issue

That isn't as bad and the people that leave only 1 sheet of toilet paper and the roll and then there aren't any extra rolls in the restroom.
I always wonder who changes the roll for them at home!

Attach a post-it to the second to last one with a vague sort of death threat on it. Or, switch to everyone having their own roll issued to them and it's their problem to take care of their own!

At my home, I am the only one who knows how to refill the toilet paper and paper towel rolls. Therefore, I understand fully that there is a whole population out there without the proper paper products knowledge and training. Set up a training in the Board Room, with PowerPoint slides to help you demonstrate these tricky skills. Your employees and their family members will be eternally grateful. If that doesn't work, fire anyone who complains about paper products. After a while, the word will get around and you'll have fewer complaints. Good luck!

I actually posted a sign on the mirror that listed suggestions, changing TP, making sure if you take the last roll to put more in the bathroom, etc.
Didn't seem to help! They were more concerned on who put up the message!
I believe it is a never ending issue in all workplaces and homes. lol

People think this is rare but it happens here all the time. My pet peeve is restocking the copy paper in the server room and going to get a pack and its all gone. Then people call me to go up to the third floor to get more. Its called LAZINESS!!!!
