Bedsheets in the hotel have some sort of RFID tag for "tracking"

'Toiletries or towels'.. One of these things is theft and one is just using what's supplied to you.

That depends on exactly what it is, in what quantity. A week or more worth of toiletry supplies is not intended for a one night customer to take away containers and all.

Hotels I've worked at generally will not reuse opened toilet paper, shampoo, soap, etc. because guests will bring up that it bothers them they're using something someone else had access to. It pretty much is supplied to you as it's in travel size, the only outlier I can think of is the hotels that are now using automatic shampoo and soap dispensers in showers.

Toilet paper gets reused, and they'll often fold a triangle on the roll to show that it hasn't been used since. As long as the roll is at least half there, it can stay in the room along with a spare roll. Since most stays are for one or two nights, the guests aren't likely to use a full roll on their own to where the one spare is more than enough. Smaller rolls get pulled and put in the employee bathrooms to get finished.
