During this crisis, entrepreneurs are thinking of using second-hand toilet paper and it suddenly makes more sense. This decision is increasingly generating the turnover they’ve been hoping for. This product is hardly cheaper than new toilet paper, but it is available without reservation, “we are certain it will always be in stock ”, they prophesied.
“Yes, since the shelves in supermarkets are overwhelmingly empty, customers have been running to our second-hand booth here,” explains second-hand toilet paper professional dealer Jimmy O’Brien. “And we get multiple online orders.”
These go-getters buy used toilet paper from all over at a low price. Then it is cleaned of faeces and other residues utilizing an exceptionally gentle method. “This has to be done very carefully, otherwise the twine contour will break. The process really gets me wiped,” explained O’Brien. “Some of the sheets are similarly irreparably dirty. They have to be sorted out, but most of them can be reused.”
The cleaned toilet paper is then hung up to dry. After about twelve to fourteen hours it can then be sold sheet by sheet.
However, Jimmy’s supplies are gradually running out. In order to ensure that supplies remain in stock, he urges citizens not to throw used toilet paper thoughtlessly into the toilet, but to collect the valuable resource and send it to used dealers like him by mail.
People who have purchased the recycled sheets say “it’s a load of crap, and they tear easily,” expressed a frequent buyer named Karen. “The turd time I went back, Jimmy told me he wasn’t on doodie and couldn’t help me.”
This is obviously a desperate measure taken to make money during this epidemic, but we can’t let this kind of behavior slip through the cracks. Do what you have too to get through these desperate times and don’t be a party pooper.
