How to map
As with all high-street shop type tags, use the shop=convenience tag on a node at the location of the building, or optionally draw an area representing the outline of the shop building (in which case you should also use a building=yes tag)
In fuel stations
Convenience shops are often provided within fuel stations. This tag can therefore be used on the same node as amenity=fuel. Alternatively (as an improved level of detail) place two different nodes/areas: amenity=fuel over the location of the pumps, shop=convenience where the shop is.
With cafe / fast food?
As with fuel stations, you might be tempted to use other amenity tags in combination with shop=convenience e.g. amenity=fast_food amenity=cafe. This is not wrong, but it may be more helpful to add in separate nodes/areas if you can locate them separately, or decide upon the primary focus of the shop type.

shop=general - a very similar type of shop, but typically with an even wider range of products including tools, building supplies. It sells everything because it is the only shop for miles around.
shop=greengrocer - very similar shop (and similar size to a convenience store normally) but the vast majority of a greengrocers would be focussed on fruit and vegetables.
