Inconsistent tagging was observed with some shops, such as variability between amenity=restaurant and amenity=fast_food. This should reflect differences between locations but may not. Inconsistent names were also observed, such as "Walmart", "Wal-mart", and "Wal Mart". These issues are not as significant as the large percentage of missing shops.
Inconsistency with Walmart is to be expected, since signs would've read "Wal★Mart" until at least 2008. [1]
All the apostrophe-esses in your results made me wonder how common it is to curl apostrophes in POI names. Overpass turbo shows 17,258 nodes and 1,263 ways with a name containing "’s" (in any language). [2] Few of them appear in Canada. (Most of the results there are for David Thompson Explorer’s Trail in Alberta and Cook’s Creek in Manitoba.)
