…is that it’s often not cheaper.

They use 0.0000872-ply paper towels at my office, and they make wonderful tissues (to give you an idea of the thinness). They do this to save money, sure. I get it.

But when I dry my hands, grasping for one results in it tearing…so I grab a few more out of necessity. This invariably causes a wad of paper towels to leave the machine as I watch in horror.

One huge deposit of slightly-used paper towels in the trash can later, I exit the restroom with a frustrated blog post in mind. They pay a lot more for paper towels in the long run because they’re being cheap.

Cheap clothes fade faster, cheap shoes fall apart, and you get what you pay for.
