In the case of hairdressers, the appointment only tag is only an 
indication and most people don't want to wait.

I use shop=* for physical items and office=* for services such as

For non public assess then access=private/members?

Examples .. costco requires membership so shop=wholesale, name=costco,

The "access=private" tag does not mean that it is legally forbidden to
access, that it is always forbidden under any circumstances ("access=no").
It means (I think) that the conditions of access are set by the owner. An
appointment, for example, or a certain visiting hours to walk inside the
office are conditions of access that the owner of the office sets
discretionally, privately, i.e. according to his will.

I would use "opening_hours=*" [1] or "reservation=*" [2] to indicate if
there is a visiting hours or if it is necessary to make an appointment in a
private office that does not normally provide services to the general public
(«office=yes» + «access=private»).

access=permissive doesn't quite cut it.  Maybe there's a case for
access=by_appointment
or access=appointment_only or even just access=appointment.  At which point
the software
team of some editors may complain about access=appointment (or whatever)
ending up
as a menu option for highways and refuse to implement it.

Nevertheless, we probably need something to indicate that sort of thing as
there are
hairdresses and beauty salons which are operated by a single person and are
appointment-only.  Currently the only way we can handle that is in the
opening
hours tag where no hours are specified and the comment "by appointment" (the
quotes are necessary for it to be treated as a comment by parsers) is
added.  Maybe
that is the answer for your government offices too. Except it isn't really,
because
if you specify actual opening times then the comment "by appointment" is
taken as
meaning that you may be able to make an appointment for a time outside the
specified hours.  In the case of a government office you'd want to specify
the hours
at which you can book an appointment for.

I've just talked myself out of all the possibilities I can think of.

Re: [Tagging] How to distinguish public and private offices?

[Joseph Eisenberg]

office=diplomatic was recently approved for consulates (and
embassies), which almost always provide public services.

Office=government is one that is most in need of more distinctions.

I suppose access=private isn’t wrong, but it seems incomplete: many
government offices do not legally exclude the public, but also do not
offer public services. For example, the offices of members of the
American legislature are clearly not public, but anyone in the public
can get an appointment to visit the legislator from their district.
Local government offices often allow walk-in visitors, but may not
offer any services.

Perhaps more types of government offices which provide public services
should have a specific amenity or shop tag, like the existing tags
amenity=town_hall,  amenity=courthouse, amenity=embassy,
amenity=register_office?

Or do we just need more sub-tags like government=ministry,
government=register_office and government=tax? There are many other
values that are not yet document, and many are not very clear.

I'd note that the proposal Proposed_features/Government_offices was
approved in 2015 (though with some objection), and switched from
amenity=register_office to government=register_office +
office=government, for a public-facing service office.

Not it is not.

An office is a place predominantly providing services, frequently selling them.

A shop is a place that predominantly sells physical objects like fruit and 
vegetables.


The majority of values of offices look to me to provide public services.

To signify restriction on access use the access key, just as it is done for 
highways etc.

Re: [Tagging] How to distinguish public and private offices?

Hi,

Why not "access=private"?

Examples from the wiki [1]:

 "amenity=parking" + "access=private" for private parking, such as company
employees.
 "leisure=swimming_pool" + "access=private" for a swimming pool in a private
backyard.  
 "leisure=playground" + "access=private" for a playground in a school or
kindergarten.

Examples from the wiki could also include, as another example, a private
office [1]:

 "office=yes" + "access=private" for private office generally not accessible
by general public.

I think it's a simple and correct solution.

Daniel

Unfortunately many office=* tags represent something that is accessible - for 
example
office=insurance is used far more often than shop=insurance (what is causing 
throuble
as there are

- actual offices of companies without public access
- places where one may sign up for insurance services
- offices open for public, not selling insurance services (for example, 
center for processing vehicle insurance claims)

I would generally think of office=* as not accessible for the general public, 
at least this was the initial idea if I recall correctly. The office=company 
tag seems to be an outlier among the office tags.

For example 
amenity=bank is a place where (small) customers go to do banking 

office=bank is a place where the “other” bankers are working (no public 
admittance)


Those places where the public is generally admitted will usually/often also 
have private areas where the public can’t access (similar to the kitchen or 
office of a restaurant)


> 
> There are some that can be assumed to be accessible like office=travel_agent.


depends what this is describing: a place where you go to book a tour / hotel / 
flight or a business 2 business place (back office) where contracts / 
agreements are made, tours are composed, offers calculated, catalogues created, 
etc.?

IMHO upholding clear semantics for shop and amenity (public generally admitted) 
and office (public generally not admitted) would help make/keep tagging easier.

There is also craft, which is more about formal qualification though and can be 
used in addition to other main tags.
