- And probably one of the others; They have redundancy, but also make it a challenge to review rates. Half the time, they want to make it “easy” by requiring a login so they can use your actual setup. However, as a roommate, we don’t always have that option.
Requiring a login makes it a challenge to compare. It looks like the weekend vs non-weekend option is the same??? Either way, it appears to be prejudiced against the poor whom often work on the weekends, and do their weekly chores on a weekday. Perhaps let people pick their 2 weekend days?
Yes, I understand that businesses, especially industrial and 9-to-5 offices, often operate only Monday through Friday, so peak usage may occur on actual weekdays; however, that’s not always accurate. Weekends can be heavier on usage for those people’s laundry and shopping. (Okay, stores are open on weekdays, and registers are not used much more on weekends.) Same with opening doors, not a ton of Heat/AC getting out with the heavier traffic, but more bodies are hot. Other than the stay-at-home moms who DO shop weekdays? Plus some other businesses that are higher in power usage and work weekends. i.e., restaurants, gyms/entertainment, etc. Granted, their usage is spread out all day vs just 4-8.
Either way, I still contend, it’s weighted against the poor whose weekends are on weekdays. If they only make up a small percentage of users, then why not let them choose their weekend days?
