It will depend on the type of shop, if they are just a traditional forecourt
shop catering for people in cars or on motorcycles selling oil, bulbs, sweets
and cans of pop then mapping it as shop=yes is fine.
A lot in the UK, but not all by any means, are also full convenience shops In
rural areas it will be the village shop and the majority of customers will not
be buying fuel.
If I am camping and need something for breakfast I am going to search for food
shops and need to find the SPAR at the shell garage. Searching on fuel may not
get my breakfast.
Shell for example are often Spars. I am guessing pay at pump went so that you
buy something in the shop.
