No, that's not the intended purpose of this use of drink=*/cuisine=*. It's to specify the general type of the shop=drinks. We don't map a shop=greengrocer with extra tags if they happen to stock a shelf of canned food in the back too, it's the general category that's important. > ... > I think common sense has to play a part here.

I think common sense has to play a part here. Focus on the main category of the shop. A bubble tea shop is not at all like other kinds of tea shops, and fairly substantially different from other kinds of drink takeaway shops, and that's why there's a need to tag it separately. --Jarek _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
