A few times. That might have been part of the reason that Norm ended the strip. As good as his story arcs were, I think he was running out of the “one liners”. There’s only so many times you can run the same joke (even if it happens repeatedly in real life). Since he no longer worked retail, it was hard to come up new material. Sort of like how Dilbert became less funny when Scott Adams was no longer working for Pacific Bell.
Didn’t we already do this joke?
