I recently observed a City of Pacific truck with two men in it. They stopped at my meter. One man got out and checked the meter, then stopped at my neighbor’s house and checked his, then the neighbor next to him and so on.

How stupid is this?

Why don’t they both get out of the truck and do both sides of the street at the same time?

If the houses were far apart, I could see it being done this way. But homes are so close together it doesn’t make sense to pull up to each one. Park the truck and use those legs.

I sure hope we aren’t paying the meter readers much.

I am so sick and tired of the stupidity of things. Someone needs to make sure all that we are paying for is being used to top efficiency. This job does not take two men in my opinion. I could do it.

Maybe get rid of a meter reader and hire a police officer.
