Personally, it is confusing as all hell that some businesses that offer services for money are amenities and some are shops. I know the implication of shop is for sales of goods, but a restaurant sells food, and it is an amenity. A bench is also an amenity. 

It is so baffling and counterintuitive to me. A shop sells things. A business does things. An amenity sits there, waiting for you to use it (like a bench), as an amenity *of the place* (a bench in front of the restaurant) - but the restaurant is an amenity too? But the bookstore isn't? It's shop=* ??

there is no business=* tag like shop=*

And amenity is doing double duty. 

I wish that wasn't the case.

If it is an amenity of a larger facility, amenity makes perfect sense - like the plain storage lot of a gated community - it is an amenity of the facility there is no business, no office, no transaction. 

If it is a shop for retail or business transactions, then it should be in the shop or a "business" keyspace.

Since car repair is in the shop= key, I thought having the storage business located there - to tag the building that operates the lot and the larger landuse - would be appropriate for shop=*

This is why I suggested two tags.
