In fact, I can imagine a variety of tags that describe much (approaching or even achieving?) all of this:<br>
office=utility<br>
utility=water;sewer;garbage<br>
utility=accepts_payment<br>
<br>
utility=cable_tv<br>
utility=allows_equipment_exchange<br>
utility=furnishes_service_equipment<br>
utility:payment=in_person_only<br>
utility:payment=kiosk<br>
utility:payment=cash_only<br>
utility:payment=accepts_checks<br>
<br>
Those aren’t necessarily the exact tags OSM might eventually settle upon, but they do indicate what’s possible. Again, it’s a pretty big universe, as “utilities” encompass more than power / energy, and there are a vast number of ways to “deal with customers at an office.” (There’s the office itself, what sort of services are available, when/whether it is staffed (it may be simply a drop-box for payment), what sort of services and payments are exchanged…).<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>utility=* key is already widely used and expect one single value, in every situation.</div><div>Please don't introduce utility=power;gas;waste.<br></div><div><a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:utility">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:utility</a></div><div><br></div><div>I've also answered here about its usage in this proposal</div><div><a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_features/Power_utility_office#Use_sub-key_instead">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_features/Power_utility_office#Use_sub-key_instead</a></div><div><br></div><div>I'm not sure tagging offices with utility=* is really suitable for the current definition: offices aren't involved in production, transmission, distribution or delivery of power, telecommunications, gas, whatever.</div><div><br></div><div>All the best</div><div><br></div><div>François<br></div><div> </div></div></div>
