This seems a very messy solution to me.

That may not be the case - I know of several buildings which have several 
different shops in their own right within them, which should all have 
equal status.  The post office may *not* just be part of the supermarket - 
it may be a completely separate thing within the building.

Other examples include things like: buildings which have both toilets and 
showers within them, bus stops and post boxes that share the same pole, 
etc.
