for one, by the term "wholesale" used as tag value. Then there is the
wording "selling in bulk" and then there are links to wikipedia (the
significance of this could be disputed and I would be the first to agree).

Reference to the shop definition:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:shop
"Description: A place selling retail products or services."

Cheers,
Martin
