‘Walk Away’ Founder Refused Service at Manhattan Electronics Store

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.

Never again.

The other guy. He’s a liberal who watches Tucker and roots for the losers Tucker has on to “debate”.

His mistake was going through with the transaction - should have walked after notifying the sales persons supervisor.

“Pretty good initial apology.”

Pretty half-assed until the store invites Straka back and bends over backward to serve him.

I might have bought one thing from them.

B&H is better to me.

I buy from B&H all the time. And I live 2000 miles away.

They NEVER ask me what I am going to do with the stuff I buy from them as ITS NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS what I do with it after I pay for it.

Bought a Sony DSLR camera from B&H years ago....good service.
was delivered around 15 minutes before we had to leave for the airport.
It was the very first DSLR model Sony made....still use it.
It’s still ok should maybe think about upgrading soon.
