Affected tag(s) to be modified/added: trolley:*:* Question asked: What types of trolleys are available here?

Checklist

• [x] 🚧 To be added tag is established and has a useful purpose
• [x] 🤔 Any answer the user can give must have an equivalent tagging (Quest should not reappear to other users when solved by one)
• [x] 🐿️ Easily answerable by any pedestrian from the outside but a survey is necessary
• [x] 💤 Not an overwhelming percentage of quests have the same answer (No spam)
• [ ] 🕓 Applies to a reasonable number of map data (Worth the effort)
  • This might not apply, however I believe it would be a good addition due to accessibility reasons. On top of that, the tag usage seems to be growing.

IMO this tag is wrong on the trolley parking space because this is no unique feature of the trolleys of this bay but of the supermarket.

We should discuss each trolley type tag separate.

[Swarkin]

In my area there is either one bay per type or one bay that contains all of them, neatly sorted and labeled I think having it on the specific bay allows for precise tagging just as it is in real life

How would one tag that there are no specialty types?

Over here in the US, I've only seen flatbed for a few warehouse types. Possibly seats but only if one counts slots for a toddler's legs to stick through in front.

Possibly I've been applying this tag wrongly — at Washington state grocery stores, there's no fee to borrow a cart, instead there are spots in the parking lot (often about ⅔ to ¾ the width of a vehicle's parking stall) to drop off a cart, and shop employees periodically move a nestled group from there; I've been applying amenity=trolley_bay to those spots. "Aldi" is a known fee=yes exception in the USA. The wiki article seems to have been written from a perspective of trolley bays as a source, and not necessarily a drop-off point, although there was a discussion.

To be added tag is established and has a useful purpose

I very much disagree on established. The listed trolley:* tags don't even have 200 uses according to taginfo, with 64 uses of trolley:flatbed being the only value above 20.

IMO this tag is wrong on the trolley parking space because this is no unique feature of the trolleys of this bay but of the supermarket.

Possible there are different trolley bays for different trolley types. I can imagine that e.g. for flatbed and "nromal" trolleys. But for seats or magnifier this is diffferent of course. And e.g. if there are just a few trolleys with magnifier, then a bay may or may not contain some of those, meaning the yes/no value is very volatile.

How would one tag that there are no specialty types?

If this is very common, the possibility should be considered. Though in my (local) experience, seats is commonly available (though I only encountered the style of the red trolley).
