It looks like the wiki[1] was updated last December to add in the big box office supply stores. It does seem like a small card/stationery shop is a better match for shop=stationery. The big box stores like Staples would better fit to shop=office_supplies. But unless the editor presets are changed and someone changes existing tags, we should stick with the current definition. [1]An example of these in the USA would be Office Depot, Staples, and Office Max. -- @osm_seattle osm_seattle.snowandsnow.us OpenStreetMap: Maps with a human touch
