They are for medicine. If you need to get nasal spray or pain killers, you take a card to the register and they scan it and give you the medicine package. They keep it in a cabinet at the register or perhaps in a vending machine by the exit.
Prescription free medicine. You bring one of those cards to the cashier if you are going to buy. It’s to prevent theft.
Anti-steal cards?
Expensive. That’s what they are.
Funny story, I’ve learned that ibuprofen is Ibux in Norway, and if you ask for Ibuprofen nobody knows what you mean. I was in Denmark and just kind of assumed it was the same (not sure why) so I asked for Ibux, she looked confused, so I said “You know, ibuprofen”, and she looked at me like I was an idiot.
