<div>Hi Kelvin,<br>
<br>
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).<br>

</span>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.<br>
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. <br>
<br>
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".<br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
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_. <br>
<br>
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. <br>
