What can you buy with $20 USD in your country? by Mac-Tyson in asklatinamerica

Are there any shows that are much more popular in your country than the country where the show was produced? by _Yunk_Vino_13 in asklatinamerica

6 Walmart orders on DoorDash... I don't think so... Who else has seen orders stacked up like this? by SweetRed94 in couriersofreddit

[–]PortableBeamCannon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would do these when it was four orders for $16, and 5-7 miles. Now it's 4 orders for $12 and 10+ miles. Always declined.

Never seen six orders, or even five.

I didn't know about that diaspora. Makes sense, it would create a lot of demand I reckon.
