I have one use case that actually makes sense. In one of the facilities I work in my desk is in the founders old house from the 1970s and for some reason the waste plumbing is too shallow and at too little of an angle into the main that it freezes and gets backed up every year. Because of the cost to fix it, and because there’s probably a reason that it’s wrong to begin with (everyone that would know is dead now), we use single ply in that building during the cold months because it breaks down easier.

Bro fr I dunno why places even try saving money on that 1-ply bullshit; I’m just gonna keep folding until I’m working with 20-ply at that point and guarantee use more total paper overall

Supposedly it’s to make it so that no one wants to steal it, which I guess is a problem in some parts of the world where even shitty toilet paper is coveted.

You’ve never been that poor?

Poor enough to shit at work when I can get paid for it and not use up my own TP, but rich enough to buy decent TP for myself at home.
The early COVID times were another matter.

I’m not sure it’s stealing that’s a primary concern. It’s probably more that single ply doesn’t clog very often, even when using a ton of paper. It’s easier to flush, especially in a commercial type environment with high pressure flushing toilets. Which means less need for EVS to clean up issues, either intentional or not.
