<br>I see. The type of discout stores we have here (there should be some<br>
wallmart as well, but I personally never encountered one) usually are<br>
mainly for food and have just occasionally some non-food articles<br>
(maybe 2-5% of their floor space), that's why we have no problem<br>
tagging them as supermarkets. Btw.: the department stores do not even<br>
render in the mapnik-style (I filed a ticket for this right now).<br>
Thinking a bit more I see that even in Germany there are indeed<br>
discount department stores.<br>
<br>
This leads to a new proposal: discount=yes to discriminate<br>
discounters. Could be used in addition for supermarkets, department<br>
stores and maybe others.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>I think Super Walmart & SuperTargets in the US are comparable with Carrefour -- the mega Carrefours, like ones I've been to in the Middle East & elsewhere. (I've also been to small Carrefours -- in central Buenos Aires -- that are only supermarkets). <br>
<br>Super Walmart and such have full grocery stores (selling fruits, veggies, etc.) in addition to all the other sections. If I were mapping these, they would get the supermarket tag, perhaps in combination with department store.<br>
<br>Then, in the US, we have regular, smaller (still big) Targets and Walmarts that mainly sell a variety of other stuff. I would give these just department store tags, though also tagging them as discount=yes would be fine.<br>
