NEW YORK—Adorama, an electronics store on West 18th St. in Manhattan, bills itself as, “more than just a camera store.” On July 5, the store found itself uncomfortably involved in more than cameras, as it became embroiled in the heated feelings surrounding the Walk Away Movement.
Brandon Straka, the founder of the movement that encourages Democrats to walk away from their party, had gone there to purchase media equipment for his burgeoning role as a mediator between the left and the left’s apostates: Democrats who find themselves on a spectrum from loving President Donald Trump to hating the hatred of Trump and his fans.
Straka, who’d just had a very busy week on national and international television interviews, had spent over an hour carefully selecting equipment he needed in various departments of the multi-tiered mega-store.
The final piece of equipment he needed was a microphone, so he was sent upstairs where he was recognized at the counter by a customer in front of him. “I saw you on Tucker! [the conservative “Tucker Carlson Tonight” show on Fox],” said the excited customer.

"The Adorama Management Team deeply regrets the incident involving an employee in our store. Please know this is not who we are, and does not reflect the position of our owners or other staff members. This is being taken seriously and is being addressed with the highest priority.

Pretty good initial apology.
I have dealt with Adorama for many years.
Always above average customer service. Good prices.
They better do something about this really soon.
Let’s hope they follow thru. It is New York with deblowsio as mayor
just words. no actions.
very, very cheap to say words.
It’s also the USA - with life, liberty and the pursuit of electronic microphones.
Words of contrition are important, and often the gateway to action, which is also needed here.
The snowflake should be fired immediately with extreme prejudice. Such an idiot should not be allowed to represent the company.
No it isn't.
Here let me show you haw a good apology goes: "We have terminated the employee involved, and are issuing a 50% refund to Mr. Straka.
It is our policy to serve all customers regardless of sex, race, national origin, ethnicity, or political stance."
Disheartening to see posters straining to forgive an enemy. Well, I say disheartening but I mean disgusting.
EIGHT THOUSAND STORES:
That’s how many branches Starbucks had to close down, coast to coast, for a Day of Brain Washing after they threw out 2 black dudes out of ONE branch.
And those bro’s were chronic trespassers who’d caused a lot of trouble at that branch in the past.
But consider instead:
“Hey, uh...SORRY ‘bout dat..!”
How would things have gone if Starbucks had handled it THAT way, eh...?
I am sure they will be fired.
Sometimes it takes a few days to go through the steps.
I would also expect them to be fired if they acted the same towards a liberal.
That's why I would imagine this individual would be suspended pending their little in-house investigation. But the article didn't say a word about that.
Translated. I hate posting from my phone.
They just reached 100,000 members.

It's a shame Straka didn't get video of that. It perfectly illustrates how insane the left has become.
I don’t want to see this guy getting fired.
That's a generous thing to say, but of course the salesman should be fired.
Our political beliefs are a civil right. This needs to be stopped with federal troops.
Know the store well. Bought my 17x70 tripod-mounted binocs there around 20 years ago. Haven’t been there in past 5 or so years, but, like its major competitor in NYC, it was/is heavily staff with Orthodox Jews.
Every one of those apologies is worded EXACTLY the same, the only difference being the company name!!! Blaa blaa blaa indeed!
