No Toilet Paper? NJ toilet paper companies donate rolls to Newark city employees
Jul 28, 2010
What would you do if you had no toilet paper, at work?
Last week Newark Mayor Cory Booker announced budget cut backs on many things, including toilet paper for city employees! Two toilet paper companies based out of New Jersey, Marcal Manufacturing and justtoiletpaper.com, have stepped up to donate toilet paper rolls.
This Thursday, Marcal Manufacturing will pull up in front of City Hall in a tractor trailer and hand out 50,000 rolls of recycled toilet paper! The city employees must only present their city IDs to receive a free roll of bath tissue.
In an interview with NJ.com, Mark Polish, the head of justtoiletpaper.com said, “Isn’t it someone’s right to have toilet paper at work?” His company will set up a donation button on its online site. Customers will be able to to donate Santa Clause toilet paper to city employees with a click of the mouse. Polish said the paper will also help Newark have a clean, happy Christmas in July.
Has the economy affected your toilet paper budget?
With the amount I used the restroom, I couldn’t imagine my employer NOT having toilet paper in the office area. Of all the things to cut on budget, why toilet paper? Was it more expensive then say, the work cell phones most city employees don’t need?
i always keep some tissues in my pocket i use them .But its a very irritating situation isnt it .you cant do anything beside using your office papers.
I would love to have my own toilet paper roll. My mother used to tell me when she was in college, she would buy her own toilet paper and bring it to and from the bathroom with her. She started doing that after her dorm-mate would use all the TP and never replenish. I guess sometimes it’s necessary to be selfish with the rolls.
Haha, very nice idea.
