Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for October 26, 2024

Atta boy, Baldo. Put him in his place.

“Yes, Cisco. Yes, we do.”

Atta boy, Baldo! Don’t cave to that level of ignorance!

Well done, Baldo!

I can’t stand people like that.

BOOM!

I thought he kinda was guessing when he first asked.

Ai yai yai bang bang

Is that guy wearing a MAGA hat?

He’ll have you know he’s Cisco, not Pancho.

Pancho is a common nickname for Francisco’s well as Paco. So just like Bill is for William and Bob for Robert, in the hispanic culture the same is done.

I remember a guy we called… I think it was Paco… then one day he said, “You know, my name isn’t Paco.” We were so embarrassed. I don’t know who had started it, I thought it was his name! Have to be careful with things like that. Although if I had a bunch of Hispanic friends, I wouldn’t mind having the nickname “Gr[it’s ont the banned list]” Weird, eh?

As Steve Harvey would say, “Good answer!”

I thought his name was Buddy.

WHOOAA!! You tell him, Baldo! You put that dude right in check! I’ll bet that customer won’t ever say THAT again to any store clerk!

I Googled it. Pancho means “calm.” Baldo means “to cripple.” No judgement meant from me. I’m just educating myself.

Attaboy Baldo!

oh those micro-aggressions are like paper cuts—small but painful. Baldo handled it well!

Good for you, Baldo!

How about a nice Mexican pancho?

At least he didn’t say “Hey Chico”(boy)

It’s a name. Too many thin skinned people take offense at anything just so they can complain. Get over it. Rufus got it wrong.

he feels good but the boss is going to tell him to suck it up and sell my products, retail 101

How is that an in̈sult to the racist man? What’s wrong with the Road Runner? If that’s who he is referring to?

Good answer, Baldo! Good answer!

“The customer is always right.. in the matter of taste” not in rude or bigoted attitudes or unless his approach of the sales person is in bad taste ✍️(◔◡◔)

I was in a car accident in a Road Runner when I was a small (early 70s) kid. We were in a carpool with other neighbor kids. I remember that car had some wicked power and was solid. It was pouring rain but no damage to the car and the cop let us continue on to school. But that car had always frightened me. It was loud, rough and that darn bird on the back of the car didn’t help.

Well said, Baldo.

Idiota Gigante.

ANY driver having a car both THAT old AND that valuable (and, in this case, that potentially dangerous!) would KNOW, without looking it up in the catalogs/guides EVERY auto Parts store/department puts out on a chain, that ANY 14" or 15" (latter preferred) bayonet-mount wiper blades will fit—from there it’s all if you want to spend $5, $15, $25 or $35 (and they can be had online for as little as $2.02 plus shipping!). The only excuse for that question is if 1) they JUST inherited the car by surprise or 2) if they’re getting wiper blades as a gift.

In fact, if you’re that ignorant about the car, please sell it immediately to someone sharper than you….. like Baldo.

Would have been more poignant, or hard-hitting, if the customer were white. Nuff said.

Thank you so much, for not depicting the idiot as a stereotypical stupid white guy.
