The Edgiest of Edge Cases - How Would One Set These Hours?

A bit tongue in cheek, perhaps, but… how would y’all handle this? Just call it Mo-Su 09:00-17:00 and be done with it?

Sometimes when interviewing bar/cafe keepers on OHs, they’re vague about their closing hours… they run it by the momentary business. The CH time I suffix in those cases with a + i.e. open ended. So 16:00-21:00+. Open most days… pass.

(BTW, interviewed 2 staff coming out of the Miglianico townhall and read their web site. Got 3 closing times.)

How about "on appointment"? That’s how I—as a potential customer—would deal with that kind of announcement. I.e. always call beforehand.

Below is the pertinent information from the wiki page:

Comments can be used to give the user additional information or limitations. It can also be used when the opening hours cannot be reliable determined by software because they depend on some subjective information e.g. weather.

=07:00-09:00 “Sometimes early”, 09:00-10:00 “Opening around now”, 10:00-13:00 open “Most days (Sometimes open at 12 or 1)”, 13:00-16:00 open, 16:00-17:30 open “Sometimes close early”, 17:30+ “Closing around now”, 18:00+ “Sometimes to midnight or later”

If shop owners do not take their openiing hours serious I don’t see a reason why we should do so and would just tag these as opening_hours=variable.
