<br />
usually the term discount shop refers to shops selling food
“from the pallet”, i.e. a smaller selection and less laborious
presentation, tending to bigger packages, for a cheaper price.<br />
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.<br />

<p>So it is shop=convenience that is selling “from the pallet” and
is likely to be a cheaper?<br />

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. <br />
<br />
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). <br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
