Talk:Tag:shop=food

Related Tags

I moved these two lines from the article to discussion since IMHO it is quite obvious how these tags differ from shop=food: in Shop=food you don't have nonfood goods whereas you find nonfood in supermarkets and convenience shops (toilet paper, tooth brushes, soap, sponges etc)

• shop=supermarket - A large store for groceries and other goods.
• shop=convenience - A small shop carrying a small subset of the items you would find in a supermarket

Differences that the main page could mention:

   shop=supermarket, shop=convenience: A supermarket, a convenience store carry a lot of non-food items (batteries, brooms, cleaning products, toothpaste) that do not belong in a shop=food.
   shop=grocery, shop=greencrocer: These do not carry prepared meals. If they do, it's as a side gig.
   shop=deli: A shop=food does not carry the implication that the food is of a particularly high quality standard (which the 'shop=deli' page insists on). It would be logical (and maybe impractical) to deprecate shop=deli in favor of shop=food + food=delicatessen.
   shop=frozen_food: A shop=food does not usually sell frozen goods. It would be logical (and maybe impractical) to deprecate shop=frozen_food in favor of shop=food + food=frozen.
