difference between tailor and tailor is unclear #100

Open matkoniecz opened 6 years ago

matkoniecz commented 6 years ago

searching in Vespucci for tailor gives "tailor" (orange - craft=tailor) and "tailor" (purple - shop=tailor). It is unclear which one applies to which cases.

According to OSM wiki these tags are synonyms (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop%3Dtailor) so I would suggest showing only one in search results to avoid confusing users.

IMHO a "shop" is fairly distinct from a facility which doesn't have an on street "showroom" or similar (think a tailor that operates out of their home on appointment only).

matkoniecz commented 6 years ago

There are two problems here

(1) how to communicate "walk-ins allowed"/"only by appointment" difference in Vespucci

(2) is this a real difference - if yes, then OSM wiki should at least mention this. I am not convinced that this difference exists, personally I used craft=tailor because I was unaware that shop=tailor exists.

I always thought that craft=tailor differs from a shop=tailor like the shoemaker differs from the shoe repair shop. I.e. the tailor that creates tailor-made suits or wedding gowns vs. the tailor that replaces a broken zipper on a backpack. There is a big difference. craft, in my opinion, implies that something is created (crafted). However, if this is not described in the wiki, then I may be mistaken.

Another way to characterise the difference would be that shop=tailor merely sells (pre-made) suits (& accessories), while craft=tailor could make a suit for you.

Much like how a place may simply sell pre-made cakes, while another actually makes (e.g. wedding) cakes.

I've encountered this problem, before (trying to tag a place which laundered, dry-cleaned, repaired & adjusted clothing). In the end, I think I simply added both craft= & shop= to cover all the possibilities of such an ad-hoc mishmash.
