Tipping
Traditionally, the tip has not been common, but is getting more so by outside influence. Tipping is never considered offensive, but not tipping is also completely normal.
Cash vs. Card
Norwegian currency is the Norwegian krone (crown, plural: kroner) (ISO code: NOK), sometimes abbreviated kr or kr., but often just the amount is shown on price tags. A 1/100th krone is called øre. Be careful when crossing borders to differentiate the Norwegian krone (NOK) from the Swedish (SEK) and Danish (DKK) ones.
