Hi, At past OSM meetups that I've organized, new mappers have asked me what shop=* tags to use for several chain stores in the USA and I had not found any clear or consistent practices of what tags to use for these stores and even as a relatively experienced mapper, I wasn't sure what tags to encourage them to use.
I am writing to hear what you've used, which ones are most popular, and perhaps the US community could build a consensus on them (gasp!). For example, several chain stores that we have wondered about include: K-Mart, Target, Wal-Mart, Dollar General, Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, 'Bed, Bath, and Beyond'; TJ Maxx; Marshall's; Radio Shack; Meijer's; Kohl's; Costco; BJ's; and Big Lots. I know there's taginfo (including one for the US! taginfo.openstreetmap.us) but unfortunately, it doesn't let you find out what tag combinations are being used with a name=* (For example, finding what tag is used most often with name=Dollar-General).
