If everyone followed that reasoning, there would never be any new tags

I do understand your position, but I don't think that's a fair criticism
of mine. These things *are* post offices by the definition in the Wiki,
so I don't think it's unreasonable to tag them that way.
Then maybe the definition in the Wiki should be modified to correspond
to what most people will intuitively see as a post office?
I would say that a post office is not only a place where you can send
*or* collect letters and parcels, but rather a place where you can send
letters and parcels (including buying stamps and weighting your
parcels), *and possibly* collect letters and parcels.
Heh... that definition excludes 'regular' (Post Office Ltd) post
offices, though! If you try to send a letter at one of those, they tell
you to put it in the (Royal Mail) post box outside.
