Norwegians are generally non confrontational, in my experience, at least publicly. Unfortunately, I suspect that most will simply go along with this plan because it will be easier for them to do so, at least in the short term.

(FYI, in English, the past tense of the infinitive "to pay" is "paid" not "payed'. Your English is far better than my Norwegian but I thought you might want to know the correct word for future articles.)

Many Norwegians simply go along with things because of convenience. Like how all the young people use only card to pay even for small amounts. I do think if people knew what was happening, there might be some protests against this tracking of food purchases however. I don't think people are too happy about it.

Thanks, I do know it is supposed to be "paid", I must have missed it in editing. English is only my third language so there might be some mistakes here and there though... :)

I apologize if my comment came across in a critical manner. I am married to a first generation Norwegian and his parents were always trying to explain things to me when we were first married and I was trying to learn their language. Your English is WAY better than my Norwegian ever was! I eventually gave up when my Mother-in-law told me that my accent was too strong for her to understand anything I said!
