Sometimes also with supposed inferior quality. Nowadays also typically sell occasionally selected non-food stuff according to the season (like tools, clothing, toys, even electronics like 1 laptop or 1 phone), but usually only from 2-3 boxes, it does not take significant space.So it is shop=convenience that is selling “from the pallet” and is likely to be a cheaper?
Reading shop=discount first the kind of shop sprang to my mind that sell all kinds of stuff in the range of 1-5€. Here they often have names like 1€ Store, 99c Store etc.
Looking at usages on Overpass Turbo indeed many of the occurrences are that kind of stores (shop=variety?). But there are also a lot of supermarkets (Aldi etc) with this tag, as well as drug stores and hardware stores it seems (I had to guess from the name where I did not recognize it).
To me its obvious that the tag in its current usage is totally unusable as it does not denote at all what I can expect to buy in the store. Rather there could be a tag as discount=yes showing it's some kind of discount store along the special shop=* tag.
So I'm perfectly fine with discouraging the use on the wiki page but I would not simply call it a duplicate of shop=variety but refer to likely tags as shop=supermarket/convenience/variety.
