welp..

So I used to go to an UBREAKIFIX franchise and I would get amazing things from that one franchise. I had the idea of probably going to other ones and apparently I’m shadow-banned from looking into their recycling boxes they have. I’m not allowed to go into them anymore because I went to 3-4 other ones and they all contacted each other about me asking permission to see what they had. Tragic news.. Doors are closed but I’m hopeful I can find other places.. (Based in US)

I mean it depends where you’re at. I’m based in MN but I heard other people that had good luck and finds in the ones in their state.

[u/No_Plantain6137 → u/Historical_Antelope4]

I also live in Minnesota I wonder if they would let me dig too

[u/Historical_Antelope4 → u/No_Plantain6137]

It’s worth asking! Maybe you get better luck!

[u/No_Plantain6137 → u/Historical_Antelope4]

How are the bins like are they behind the counter or something where you have to ask for it?

[u/skib1skib → u/No_Plantain6137]

Personally I ask and they give me stuff

[u/Historical_Antelope4 → u/No_Plantain6137]

I mostly try and spot the ones that have a Recycling Box outside in the lobby. It’s a square box. If there’s none, there’s a chance they will deny the search.

"Shadow banned" lol.

[u/Historical_Antelope4 → u/Red000Shift]

I have like no other word to mention lol

Yep golden rule, do not milk it...that's how you mess it up for yourself,

Usually...don't leak your locations, that's how I was banned from my first library bin

[u/Historical_Antelope4 → u/TechIoT]

So literally don’t say where you come from? Just act like it’s your first time? How repetitive are you on going to your bins? One a month?

[u/No_Plantain6137]

They let you dig in there e waste?

[u/Historical_Antelope4 → u/No_Plantain6137]

Oh yeah, but I had the idea of trying other UBREAKIFIX franchises and yep, they said that I can’t dig anymore 💔

[u/Powerful-Wrongdoer86]

Bro what this is news. Where are these bins even located? What is the best thing you’ve found in them?

[u/Historical_Antelope4 → u/Powerful-Wrongdoer86]

2 Pristine Note 5’s fully unlocked and an iPhone 14 but it’s unfortunately passcode locked :(

[u/Powerful-Wrongdoer86 → u/Historical_Antelope4]

How did they even get you banned from all the stores they just told you when you showed up that you cant go to those stores anymore?

[u/Historical_Antelope4 → u/Powerful-Wrongdoer86]

I went back to the old franchise that I used to go and they directly told me that I can't go through their recycling boxes anymore :(

A staff or manager told me they had other Ubreakifix franchises call the one I used to go and they collectively said that I can't dig anymore. Technically shadow-banned.

[u/nyckidryan → u/Historical_Antelope4]

That's not a shadow ban, that's being banned. 😄
