[Tagging] semi pharmacies

[Alan Mackie]

I thought the general distinction in OSM was that pharmacy was used for
places selling prescription drugs and chemist for one that only has drugs
that don't require talking to a pharmacist?

Not sure if I've been to a place with pharmacists that only sell
non-prescription drugs?
