Sarcasm? I think most people should care about this.
because I used the same credit card at Whole Foods as linked to my amazon account my last shopping trip there showed up in 'recently purchased' and 'suggestions'. are we upset because the Norwegian government is getting the same information that Amazon is clearly mining?
I went and checked various online papers with comment sections, and the comments have been massively negative to this. This is apparently not something people will easily accept, so it remains to be seen what happens.
Can you pay cash?
There is still a receipt even if you pay cash. It's just that in that case, _only_ the supermarket and the buyer know of the transaction.
...or, for the kind of analyses they say they are looking to make.
People seem to suddenly forget that these transactions are already tracked and individually linked to you. Should we allow anyone to collect that data except democratically elected governments? What's the logic behind this?
It's kind of exasperating how little people think about the difference between voluntary participation and forced participation when it makes a world of difference. Maybe we have just lived in good times too long and we have become soft, weak and amnesiac about what happens when the other aspects of human nature gain dominance in society.

In most countries, paying in cash is a thing. And I try to avoid paying with cards or e-payment as much as I can

“Hello #3576. You have reached your 1kg monthly limit of natural meat. Please consult the official list for alternatives.”
> Please consult the official list for alternatives.” More likely a new way to tax stuff that the government does not like. Eating too much red-meat from methane-producing cows? Extra climate change tax for you!

You can’t buy alcohol at the supermarket in Norway.
You can buy alcohol at the supermarket in Norway, it's just that it's limited to alcohol of 4.5%vol. or lower (i.e. the supermarkets sell beer and alcohol cider and the like).
Can you pay cash?
Yeah you could haha I think the majority of the public wouldn't care about their food purchases being tracked.
They know that it's happening and don't like it, like how they won't like the Norweigan government's decision. But they'll likely put up little resistance and move on to other things.
