Why ask the owner in the first place. Its public information anyway. Google does not ask either.

- runiq 3y agoBecause I'm nice that way.
- ce4 3y agoSure. But for mapping lots of POIs this is a PITA and doesnt scale. What if the owner declines? This is non-copyrightable info anyway. Shall one ask house owners if one can map their address or their house' outline?
- bluGill 3y agoHopefully a few of them will realize it is easy and so start updating their own information as it changes. Everyone wins - their customers get up to date information and so come when they are open.
- marcosdumay 3y agoIn a practical way (instead of just, why not be polite?), the information for permanently displaying to the public may be different than the information relevant to you at a single moment. If you just ask it without context, "today we'll close at 16:00" is a perfectly reasonable response.
