Just woke up to being told that the meter reader was outside. My meter is in the basement. It is raining out, and I have not had any coffee. He's a 20-something year old kid, seemingly in decent health, saying that I can take a picture with my phone of the meter and he can get the information that way. Mind you, I haven't even had my first cup of covfefe yet, so I didn't even ponder inviting him in out of the rain until I was halfway to the basement. However, he was a good 20 ft away from the front door. Went downstairs and snapped the picture. By the time I got upstairs to the front door, he came all the way up to the door. At this point I invited him to come in out of the rain and read the phone that way. He said that I would need to put on a mask before he would come in. (🤣🤣🤣🤡) As I was nice and dry, I decided to just hand him my phone and let him figure it out. Seems like the other month, a different meter reader came in, checked the meter, and left on his merry way. Something tells me that it's a personal choice for employees to either enter a home or not now. Now that I've had my first cup of covfefe, thought I would share that with everybody. Wondering how many people are handing their phones to him as well as he gets rained on 🤪.
