He eventually approached a woman and asked if she needed help to which that lady replied by asking for a particular size of a shoe from the wall. He then went away and came back quickly with box of that particular shoe and size, and placed it on top of the glass box where he opened it and took out one shoe. He swiftly untied the laces and loosened them, removing the paper inside as well, before handing it over to the woman.

As he was walking away, another customer also asked for some assistance, and when he came, he carried a couple of boxes in his arms before using one arm to hand out each box to the respective customer.
