The only one who'd miss the 50-öring would be the children, I suppose.
ReplyDeleteWill be interesting to see how they solve the refund system for beercans, will they rise the refund to one krona or demand that you refund at least two cans in one go?
The kinds should be thankfull now they got twice as much when they get a krona instead of a 50-öre!
ReplyDeleteHmm, well, the refound should be no problem, only if you return just one can and demand to get paid with cash. Perhaps a new opportunity for kids to get one krona from the cashier just to get rid of them? ;)
