From my experience (in the USA), most WalMarts and KMarts only allocate a
small percentage of their floor space to groceries. The so-called super
WalMarts have a full range of groceries; even so, the grocery section takes
up only 20 percent or so of the store.

most of these stores devote no more than 5 or 10% of their floorspace to
food, and are otherwise inexpensive department stores, and i'm certainly
having trouble seeing how 10% of their stock overrides the other 90% when
it comes to tagging.

I am saying that, since the standard meaning of supermarket is grocery
store, at least in the USA, tagging such stores as department stores would
more accurately reflect the merchandise available than tagging them as
supermarkets.

Periodically along US highways, there are giant scales for trucks to get a
weight certificate to comply with various laws. How should these be tagged?
How about:
highway=motorway_link for the ramps linking to the motorway
highway=scale for the scale node/area
