Open disputes
Someone has challenged a settled claim in writing.
Among people under thirty this is completely ordinary and usually done in an app before anyone leaves the table. The verdict reads like it was written twenty years ago.
Depends entirely on where you are. At a festival stall it is the whole point; on a commuter train platform it is not. The claim should say which.
Tax records being public does not make asking someone directly comfortable. Looking it up is fine; asking over dinner is a different act, and the claim conflates the two.

This is being answered by people who visited Oslo. Outside the capital, rounding up is normal and nobody reads it as an insult. The claim needs splitting by city rather than one verdict for the whole country.
True in most towns and actually fined in several, but on the Canary and Balearic coasts nobody blinks a street back from the sand. One verdict for the whole country is wrong here.
