Hi Kelvin,
I still don't see how this proposal addresses any of the many concerns
brought forward in the previous amenity=courier voting or this thread.
Just changing amenity to office doesn't make the whole
post-office/courier tagging any better (quite the opposite in my opinion).

I partly agree but when I tag Walmart or Trader Joe's as a
supermarket's brand that carries a clear expectation towards the
assortment of the store.
I didn’t send it to the mailing list by accident: here is the

This is true for all businesses in all counties. The regional
assumption of what goods/services are available varies not only by
"brand", but what each type of shop offers varies by culture -
similar to what is available at a "drug store" and a "pharmacy". A
drug store in the US often has a prescription pharmacy in the back.
What is considered a "prescription" and what is OTC is similar to
the regional variation with of what is offered at a supermarket or
a post office, but at least there is a clear separation between
OTC and prescription drugs in most countries.
A Supermarket or department store o might also have most of what a
drug store offers and a pharmacy (like target did). But in other
cultures, for cultural or legal reasons, they might be separated,
like here in Japan. So there is a need for both a "pharmacy"
(chemist?) and a "drug store".
Whereas in the US, we would need a way to tag the prescription
pharmacy as an amenity offered by a drug store or a department store.
I cannot think of a "pharmacy" shop that only sells perception
medication and nothing else in the US - they are are (seemingly)
always part of a larger drug store that sells chocolate and
vitamins and OTC drugs and other not-drug stuff the Prescription
drugs are just another thing they offer. But in Japan, the OTC
stuff is separated from the prescription stuff, and a prescription
shop is very tiny and sells (basically) only perceptions, nothing
else _at all_.
Trying to tie them together saying "they both sell medicines" and
"we can separate them by brand" and "we have so many variations we
need to tag them in a different manner" breaks the tagging system
for all of them completely, and does little to address the need
for the "amenity" tag needed to add it onto larger businesses that
offer an entire business' service as a department in their store -
like a garden center at DIY shop, a custom-order cake shop inside
a supermarket, or package drop-off&pickup for a courier at a
convenience store.
