One day he helps an old lady leave the shop with a large suitecase, only be told later that the woman is a notorious shoplifter who has successfully walked off with large amounts of their stock. Given Norman's apparent inability to achieve anything, when the store is robbed, everyone is surprised when he successfully deals with the situation.
