[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - pickup

[Martin Fischer]

Many retailers let you order online and pick up what you ordered at a 
store (this is often called click and collect). However such retailers 
also often provide dedicated pick up points — these are not stores — you 
cannot buy anything there, you can only pick up products there that you 
previously ordered online.

Currently such pickup locations are tagged with shop=outpost, which does 
not make any sense. A pickup location is neither a shop (because you 
cannot buy anything there) nor an outpost (which is a military post or 
an outlying settlement). So why should it be tagged with shop=outpost? 
That is just confusing and misleading.

I therefore propose to deprecate shop=outpost in favor of pickup=*. E.g. 
an IKEA pickup point could be tagged with pickup=furniture and a 
Decathlon pickup point with pickup=sports (the values of pickup=* are 
meant to be analogous to the already established shop=* values).
