I feel like this would be so much simpler if the amenity tag was not 
limited to vending_machines.

In Germany everything is just called "Automat".

- cigarettes => Zigarettenautomat
- parcel => Paketautomat (Well, not the most common word)
- emty bottles => Leergutautomat

And then you could just combine it with vending=, service=, recycling=, 
return= etc.

I would really be in favor to change this, especially since most of the 
information is in vending= anyway. Is there a similar word? Otherwise 
you then have issues like with parcel where you bascially also have 
reverse vending when you send in a package, but you can't combine the 
amenity tags.
