Handle multi-use Merchants (e.g. Square) #23

The goal of yellow pages is to provide more clarity, however, when a multi-use merchant (e.g. Square) enters our dataset, it starts to hide information.

All the square transactions above were actually from different restaurants.

I think the best thing to do here is to document it in the YAML, but not provide a name. When the name is omitted, we essentially ignore it from our dataset.
