Saw a flashing light on the vehicle roof from the door windowthis morning. It was the Entergy meter reader out and about doing his job. Guess getting out all those upcoming Entergy bills is essential.

Just thought it was funny. Entergy wants to be sure they get their part of those Trump checks.

I like how I get emails about how all these companies are putting their customers first and offering help and prayers through this trying time, and slapping me with a bill about an hour later

I understand it and all, but quit acting like you give a shite about me.

1. Utilities are considered essential, for reasons that should be pretty obvious.

2. Where do you live that still has an Entergy meter reader?

Sewerage and Water Board was out there reading meters. Nah, I’m lying. They don’t read meters.

Cleco said they will not shut off people's power during all this, but the meters keep running

I guess I should tell them to terminate their Covid-19 Emergency Relief Fund that is now in place to help customers in need. O btw which is funded by employee donations and matched by company shareholders.

Whether or not reading the meter is essential, you’re still a dummy because the legal beginning to the Executive Order is at 5:00 pm today.

Entergy is a Fortune 500, extremely essential business that is helping keep your lights on, yet you make a terrible thread about them anyway.

Make less threads please.
