Hillary Norman "Norm" Peterson is one of the main patrons at Cheers, known for sitting in the same stool at the bar every day. Norm is the most loyal customer Cheers has had since anyone can remember. His bar tab extends back to when he was referred to as "that skinny guy at the end of the bar", and by the end of the series its total is literally astronomical. Norm was originally an accountant, but then later became a housepainter.
Norm likely went to Cheers long before Sam Malone bought the bar, due to the fact Coach didn't know who Gus (previous owner of Cheers) was and Norm did.
In season one, Norm loses his job after throwing a company party a Cheers where he asks Diane to to be his boss‘s date for the night. His boss tries to force himself on Diane, so Norm punches him to protect her.
In season two, Norm is still looking for work. At some point unemployment checks stop and he takes a job upstairs at Melville’s as a dishwasher. Diane convinced Sam to hire Norm.
