[talk-ph] shop=general for general merchandise stores

[Jherome Miguel]

I’ve been using shop=general to tag general merchandise stores – a type of
store that is of a size in between sari-sari stores and
groceries/supermarkets, sells everyday staples like groceries, home goods,
stationery, and some clothes, construction supplies, farm supplies, and
hardware, and commonly found in commercial centers of many towns and small
cities, as well as barangays. Some of these are clearly marked as general
merchandise stores in their signs, and some are named like sari-saris, the
name being in the format “[Owner’s first or last name] Store”. We currently
don’t have an recommended tag for it, and except for those that have
“General Merchandise” on their name and sells a general line of retail
goods but is not essential in nature, is tagged the same way as sari-saris
with shop=convenience. Is this a good tagging idea? Any further suggested
tags?
