Too low tech. Only uses the diameter of the roll.

Yeah I couldn't help thinking of making a square counter
so you could see who's using too much
maybe coin operated, 1p a square, up to 10p a go no refunds
Tamper alarm on box sort of thing

This is bloody useful at the moment.

https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/supermarket-check-in/id1507409856

Shows all supermarkets within a local range you set, with queue times and stock levels.
Now a few have downloaded it for IOS or Android, it's starting to get more regular reports from people too.

And attempt to turn it into a sgian dubh.
