I wouldn't be so sure here.
As an example, there's a bakery chain in the UK called "Greggs". They're
mostly tagged "shop=bakery" (with a few Subway-esque "amenity=fast_food"
/ "cuisine=sandwich" as well). Occasionally shops like this get wrongly
tagged, sometimes as "amenity=cafe", and there's always a temptation to
"just fix them". However, guess what? Yesterday I accidentally walked
past a genuine Greggs "amenity=cafe":

It seems to share staff with the neighbouring bakery, but is entirely
separate inside. A better approach to "tidying up" shops is the one
that Math1985 has been using in the UK - add a note, and get some local
feedback to separate the genuine errors from the unexpected ones:

A Subway _restaurant_ is clearly a bit of a stretch, but not entirely
impossible. I'd definitely add notes rather than remotely fixing
these. Alternatively, perhaps contact the previous mapper?
Cheers,
Andy
