Hummm ... I'd not want a wholesaler identified as a shop ... let me put it this way?

If a gasoline wholesaler were identified as a fuel station and you drove your car in there .. they'd sell you gasoline ... say 250 gallons of it minimum.  :-D

I've not looked at it hard. I have tagged nodes and buildings (closed way) as shops .. they do appear on the rendered maps.
