<p class="MsoNormal">At one point they did not want to by facial tissue because that would be using state purchased items for personal use. So I asked how we could buy toilet paper then and said “Fine.
I’ll just put a roll of toilet paper on the service desk for students to use.” We now have facial tissue at the desk. <span style="font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif">😉</span><br>
<br>
Along those lines, someone from our Business Office once questioned our purchase of book marks. We use to buy a bunch at the beginning of the school year and it caught their attention for some reason. I informed the inquirer that we don’t give those away.
We leave them on the counter and people STEAL them. <u></u><u></u></p>
