I know the implication of shop is for sales of goods, but a restaurant sells food, and it is an amenity. A bench is also an amenity. It is so baffling and counterintuitive to me. A shop sells things. A business does things. An amenity sits there, waiting for you to use it (like a bench), as an amenity *of the place* (a bench in front of the restaurant) - but the restaurant is an amenity too? But the bookstore isn't? It's shop=* ?? there is no business=* tag like shop=* And amenity is doing double duty. I wish that wasn't the case. If it is an amenity of a larger facility, amenity makes perfect sense - like the plain storage lot of a gated community - it is an amenity of the facility there is no business, no office, no transaction. If it is a shop for retail or business transactions, then it should be in the shop or a "business" keyspace. Since car repair is in the shop= key, I thought having the storage business located there - to tag the building that operates the lot and the larger landuse - would be appropriate for shop=* This is why I suggested two tags.
