Many retailers let you order online and pick up what you ordered at a
store (this is often called click and collect). However such retailers
also often provide dedicated pick up points — these are not stores — you
cannot buy anything there, you can only pick up products there that you
previously ordered online.
Currently such pickup locations are tagged with shop=outpost, which does
not make any sense. A pickup location is neither a shop (because you
cannot buy anything there) nor an outpost (which is a military post or
an outlying settlement). So why should it be tagged with shop=outpost?
That is just confusing and misleading.
I therefore propose to deprecate shop=outpost in favor of pickup=*. E.g.
an IKEA pickup point could be tagged with pickup=furniture and a
Decathlon pickup point with pickup=sports (the values of pickup=* are
meant to be analogous to the already established shop=* values).
