People do either.

I prefer to map the building foot print and then tag that as 
building=retail (or what ever type of building it is)

Then put a node inside the building and tag that shop=grocery, name=*, 
and anything else that you have. Reason why I do this is shops move from 
building to building so a node is easier as that leaves the building behind.
