I would tag them as department_store.  These are of the discount variety
("discount department store"), but still fit the tag.

Though, many Targets and Super Walmarts have large grocery sections, so they
could also get shop=supermarket, and there might be a McDonalds, Pizza Hut
or Taco Bell Express, and other things.  Thus, we have the issue with how to
assign multiple values (as separate pois, with relations, or separated with
semicolons in a single poi, or other means of tagging)
