Jesse

Jesse is the owner of Capital Comicbooks, is a rival of Stuart Bloom's store, The Comic Center of Pasadena. His store is larger and has a larger selection of comics and comic  memorabilia than Stuart's store and also offers free popcorn, lattes, cappuccinos and pastries. The owner is sleazy and very condensending to Stuart about his looks, life and business. In "The Occupation Recalibration" Stuart only comes over to help Bernadette buy a Batman comic for Howard. Bernadette picks up on Jesse's sleaziness and storms out with Stuart, though she does come back after she doesn't find the comic elsewhere while also defending Stuart. Stuart does stand up to him explaining that he does have friends though he would trade them for his success and looks in a heartbeat.
