This approach could be used for supermarkets/convenience stores as well. Supermarkets might sell different items in different countries, or depending on their size or type (discounter vs. "regular'). There could be an extra tag on the section to indicate whether there is personnel to assist you or where the personnel has to take/pack the items for you. Some DYI offer a paint mixing service or a wood cutting service. Supermarkets can have a butcher or people serving bread, deli, etc. regards m _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
