Although this is correct in terms of the tagging system I personally tend to avoid this.
We should never tag for an editor; however, different tag values separated by semicolons are rarely
evaluated by any service using OSM data. You cannot expect such an object to be rendered on any map.

For shops or other amenities with different functions I would always use different nodes.
