I heard rumors about it and couldn't quite believe it but here it was a toilet paper dispenser with payment via WeChat. I was lucky that my wife put 10 RMB on it foresting purpuses because otherwise I would probably need to call her to come in and pay for it.
It was 3.8 RMB and you get a small package of wet tissues. I have no idea if they dissolve as easy as normal toilet paper but I like the Japanese way with water bidets better.
On the way out I also realized that there is another dispenser for normal toilet paper at the entrance -you also pay for it with WeChat, not sure probably it's cheaper, sneaky.- ah no it says scan it for free paper, I guess it's played by advertisement.
Anyway cool mall here l, very flashy in the middle of Changchun by the train station.
Why are people stealing toilet paper if their needs are being met?
Why is everything a Socialism vs. Capitalism thing?
In the end it iy very much a cultural difference. Toilet paper wasn't a common thing. In contrast to Western countries, people in many different cultures (not limited to Asian countries) knew that washing your ass isn't a bad thing.
I mean, this is kind of faulty logic to begin with. Why do politicians steal anything if their needs are being met? Do all thieves steal only out of necessity?
