So it's okay for, say all the Burger Kings, to be inconsistently tagged...
some as amenity=fast_food, some as amenity=restaurant?

I would prefer to see some tagging consistency across chains... especially
chains that have locations mainly in the US (or Canada) such as the ones
listed, but curious if others prefer otherwise.

For these chains, I'm interested in feedback on how people would tag them.
