My point is not to argue for one set of tags over anther; but to
illustarte that such pinnickety bikeshedding [1], based on one's
personal experiences and preferences,  is unhelpful and inefficient.

I totally agree with Andy — Some of these discussions are seemingly endless
maybe because, as the Wikipedia article says, everyone knows about snack
shops and wants to contribute something. How the heck is any map going to
cover ALL the practically infinite variations we might invent to describe
shops and other items? It's crazy!
