Not sure what this is used for.

Possibly duplicate with shop=doityourself, not sure though.
> craft
I use this for shops selling coloured paper, glue, knitting supplies etc.
> discount
I use shop=variety_store instead, but some mappers split the two categories.
> energy
Likely used for public-facing offices of energy suppliers, especially
in countries where there is a free energy market so people might
actually be 'shopping' for an energy provider.
> flooring
Makes sense.
> gallery
Lesser used alternative of shop=art.
> games
Makes sense.
> health_food
Lesser used alternative of shop=organic.
> hobby
Similar to shop=craft.
> market
Probably used for market halls. Might be a lesser used alternative of
amenity=marketplace.
> phone
Likely most of these should be shop=mobile_phone.
> real_estate
Lesser used alternative of office=estate_agent.
> rental
I would use office=estate_agent for this as well.
> salon
Lesser used alternative of shop=hairdresser.
> shoe_repair
Lesser used alternative of shop=shoemaker.
> tiles
Makes sense, I guess.

Yes, shop=antiques is more popular.

Agree.

Agree.

No, shop=communication is used for places where you can go to and call
abroad cheaply. Mainly common in places with many immigrants.
> general - deprecate and propose to look for other shop values (like "yes")?
Not sure.
> health - medical_supply?
Likely yes, or shop=organic (or shop=supermarket organic=yes)
> household - houseware?
Yes.
> interior_decoration - houseware?
No, I use houseware for shops were you can buy practical stuff such as
pots, bins, and brooms, while I use interior_decoration for shops
> office_supplies - stationery?
Likely yes (although people state that shops like Staples also sell
printers etc., and that that goes beyond what a stationery shop would
sell).
> printing - copyshop?
Agree.
> radiotechnics - electronics?
> sewing - maybe tailor?
No, in a sewing shop you can buy threads and needles, in a tailor you
can get your clothes fixed.
> shopping_centre - mall?
Agree.
> solarium - leisure=tanning_salon?
Agree - apparently solarium is not even an English word.
> souvenir - gift?
No, for example in Amsterdam shops where tourists buy things to take
home are very distinct from shops were people go to buy a present for
a friend they are visiting.
> tanning - leisure=tanning_salon?
Agree.

Agree, I feel neutral about this.

Thanks for working on this! Very useful to get more clarity in this direction.
