Looking at Survey Me! locally there are two problems with my local Tesco - the first is a missing Timson (locksmith) which is actually inside the store and which I have now added. The second is that there is an attached Tesco petrol station. This has a little kiosk where you pay for your petrol and this is flagged as “Unexpected branch of retail chain”. This is presumably because it is tagged as a Convenience Store which is sort of correct as it does sell milk and snacks and things but presumably doesn’t count as a ‘shop’ as far as Tesco is concerned. Is there a way round this? See Way: Tesco (39027107) | OpenStreetMap.
Yes, there is supposed to be some logic to handle situations like this. It works by treating a second store from the same retailer that is close to, and shares the same website=*, as a matched store, as a “duplicate match”.
It’s actually a bit more complicated than that, since both website=* values have to also match the regular expression in this list but only the capturing groups need to match. This should allow for the -petrol-station suffix you sometimes get on the Tesco URLs. But I’d slightly messed up the regular expressions for Tesco so it wasn’t considering the two stores you mention as a match. That should be fixed now, and you’ll see the petrol station shop is now in the “duplicate match” section on the Tesco matching page.
