The ultimate convenience would be to take a dump(*) at the gas
station, use the provided toilet paper (assuming there is some), and
take a few squares for at home.

A friend of mine with 2 daughters and a wife are into that JIT
(Just-In-Time) restocking method, especially with toilet paper. I
used to stop at the gas station on the way over to their house to
get beer and a 4-roll pack of cheap gas station TP (*)
(unrequested). That's where they got all their TP and beer several
times a day, too.

ObFood: I'm eating an awesome meatball, provolone, romano, and Jimmy
John's pickled cherry pepper sandwich after getting my last 28-day
round of rabies shots and then shopping at Walmart. I find the
rabies shots help before shopping at Walmart. They have the best
hogie rolls (as odd as that may seem).

(*) if you haven't seen a "single roll" of TP in decades, they've
gotten 66% smaller and lighter than the single rolls of the 1980's.
And they're 1" narrower and the core cardboard is much bigger in
diameter.
