After reading my blog on “Fit for Purpose” (aka TP Discussion #1), Decy recanted a story that just happened recently at her salon. Seems she went to use the restroom at her salon. As she was trying to recover a bit of toilet paper, something wasn’t right. The TP wouldn’t come off the roll right and it was also unravelling on the inside of the roll. Upon inspection Decy noticed that the TP had no cardboard inside. Ah ha …. somebody either stole the inside of the TP (why would they do that) or somebody bought really cheap TP. It was untidy, unprofessional, and simply wouldn’t work for her salon.

Decy did some further inspection of the TP and reached some conclusions. She then went to Danny, her brother, and confirmed that it was he who bought the TP. Decy commended Danny for trying to save money but suggested he never buy that type again and that from now on he only buy appropriate TP.

So what was the Root Cause of the TP issue? Well, as some folks know, Indonesia restaurants have napkin dispensers (like most restaurants around the world). In Indonesia there are several types of napkins and dispensers. One in particular is a rolled style, fits into a round plastic container and you pull the paper out thru the center … in many ways like “wet wipes” (thus no center cardboard). The other kind tends to be more like individual facial napkins. Anyway, it seems that Danny had mistakenly bought facial nakpins (rolled style) rather than TP. Danny is not an expert on TP … and thus, did not recognize the difference.

As you can appreciate, it was a lively discussion when Danny asked what the difference was between the two types of paper and Decy’s response was … one is for your face, the other is for your butt !! Ahem …. I think he was asking about the technical differences not differences in use.

With that note, I will close my blog. Have some things I need to work thru. (BTW – Friday is a holiday, I may not blog over the extended weekend).

Ciao ciao. GBU.
