Subject: Do people steal toilet paper?
Okay, I know this is silly, but bear with me here.

In the building where I work, the ladies room is constantly running out of tissue before lunchtime. There is a supply closet in the restroom, but it stays locked. If it weren't locked, we could remedy the situation ourselves, instead of having to call the building manager to say, look, willya tell the *($*#)@ cleaning crew, we need more than one freakin roll of tissue in there!

My boss said that toilet paper is one of the top stolen items in offices, and that's one of the reasons lots of buildings have gone to the Giant Roll Dispenser, because it can't be stolen. (In theory, anyway.)

I was bumfuzzled by this. Why steal toilet paper? Does anybody really steal toilet paper?

Also, the handicap-access restroom in our building also remains locked. Isn't that an ADA violation?

Just wondering....
