something weird is happening in my zone, I have proof and not a conspiracy theory

a little background on me I have over 5k deliveries. been doing this for a while. I'm in a good zone. Well off area, with 2 Universities and tons of businesses.

In the last year and half our Sam's has been really busy with orders. I probably do 80% of my orders from here and the rest from Walmart. I have always gotten offers and usually good ones. Usually if you miss a drop you will get something worthwhile next drop. one of my good friends also does spark and he is an OG with double the deliveries I have done. We have always compared offers and both of us have similar metrics.im actually just slightly better in CR. we know all the regulars. some nice people .

I'll say that our weekly orders always average out similar. sometimes I have a better day and sometimes he does. we know all the algorithm trends. we both cherry pick good offers and on slow days take 2-1 miles to as we both have good gas efficient cars

but since last week I have noticed I stopped getting offers at Sam's drop times( :30 after every hour). my friend was always getting good offers. I chalked it up to him running hot and I'm having bad luck. now fast forward to this week since Monday he is getting all the bangers,, like literally all of them. we know what time and day of the week the business put the big juicy orders in, we usually have a 1 in 15 chance of getting them. but good thing is there is like 10 of these a week and thats not including the rich customers .

this is getting long winded but since Monday every time I'm at Sam's I'm not getting an offer and he's getting a very good one. it's to the point he feels horrible. he doesn't understand why. especially since my metrics are actually better. ok but this is the craziest part- today at the 430 drop I was at Sam's and I got nothing and he was 10 miles Away! and he got a very high paying offer! he called me immediately and asked where I am and did get anything and I said I'm here I got nothing but at :32 I got some bs offer. he did 8 offers today I did 3 crappy fcfs. I'm not sure what's going on. even my 2 other buddies are getting nothing. why is our 1 main buddy literally getting priority on the best offers?
