Not a 'good tag' as it can only be used with shop=trade.

Much better to have a universal shop tag that can be used with any shop.

The word that most people (non OSM) would use is 'sells'.

Some think OSM should use the word 'vending' as that is what is used for vending machines.

However I disagree, I would much rather have a word that is in common use rather than have a word that few would use in relation to a shop.


I have raised this before ... and got nowhere, so it looks to me like each shop will have it's own unique tag to describe what it supplies.
What a confusing mess that will be.
