7,3% of all amenity=fuel also have a shop=*

as in "usually in the UK"?

I'd include other things in the fuel object, particularly the cash counter,
but also car service stuff like air and water, and services for the client
like toilets.
In Germany, you usually have one shop where you also pay the fuel (at the
same counter), but usually it is different businesses legally (different
tax number and operator name, you can see it on the receipt, at least this
is what I found on my surveys, the fuel is typically sold on comission
through the local franchise but in the name of the mineral oil company).

Yes, separating shop and fuel is a first step.

again, depends on the local context. Basically the difference between "self
service" and "service". Some petrol stations might have both, some only
self service and some only serviced (i.e. you may not refuel yourself).
