I suggest to use a more specific key that already tells in its name what it
is about, and that allows for tagging several orthogonal properties. The
current values for convenience (in total only used 11 times) are:
http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/convenience#values

yes
russian
mall
pet
polish
variety_store
african
wine;honey;rice;pastery;book

so basically there is no system, and the values make it hard if not
impossible to understand what is actually tagged.

I have found these in taginfo:

ethnicity (total use 65)
http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/ethnicity

origin (used more often, but has the same problem then "convenience", it is
mixed up with different concepts)
http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/origin#values

cheers,
Martin
