Very good point!

Square foot isn't a great estimate for toilet paper, because within certain limits no one cares about the width of their TP. This means manufacturers will enshittify their products by making the rolls slightly wider (but fewer sheets). The packaging makes it seem like they're selling the same amount, but you suddenly find yourself needing to buy more.

Hospitals would often have two prices - the insurance price, and the cash price. If you told them that you didn't have insurance, the price could go down drastically from the estimate. Now they're required to charge the insurance company and the uninsured the same amount.

If the management thought a fancy text generator was going to magically replace human creativity and decision making, do you think we're talking about good management?
