SELL shoes over a SALES counter.<br>
<br>
They do not "sales shoes over a a sales counter".<br>
<br>
It is English .. and has peculiarities. <br>
<br>
For the OSM tagging .. use sells not sales, sells makes 'English'
sense in that context. <br>

actually sales is the plural of the noun "sale". Why would you
use the plural in this context? Especially as it typically means
"<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">a
period during which a shop or dealer sells goods at reduced
prices."</span>

</div>
<div>I agree that the word "sells" is better for use as a tag,
a verb is ok for a property, a plural noun less so, and even
less as it's highly ambiguous in this case.</div>
