I'm not living in a black and white world - do you?

There's a list of stuff potentially sold in a kiosk (at least here in 
germany).

I don't know if I can buy public transport tickets at a specific kiosk - 
until I ask about it at that kiosk.

Same goes with a supermarket. Do you know if a supermarket will sell you 
a broom? Some will and some won't. We've never had a discussion about 
what the minimum assortment of goods a supermarket has to sell before we 
call it a supermarket. We simply tag it and go on.

If other countries don't have such kind of shops, then don't tag it that 
way - where is the problem?

If other countries have to name it newsstand (although it sells nearly 
the same "kiosk like stuff"), then tag it as shop=newsstand - where is 
the problem?


Trying to discuss that there's no such thing as "kiosk like stuff" that 
a kiosk sells is simply bullshit. If you don't have such kiosks or no 
such "kiosk like stuff" in your country, fine, then don't use the 
shop=kiosk tag.
