currently it is the common practice, if shops are mapped as polygons, that the auxiliary areas like staff bathrooms, storage, room for having a break, office, access areas, are all included in the polygon (because a whole building is typically getting the tag). 90% of shop tags on ways (about 20-25% of all shops) are combined with building=* https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/shop?filter=ways#combinations

So while we could agree that shop=* should not include these private access parts, it would be a paradigm change and not what is currently done.
