I could guess as well, but as there are other tags documented for what
you are describing I'd guess that something different might be
intended. For the kind of shop you are describing amenity=fuel (and
Key:shop) say:
Kiosk: Add shop=kiosk (default is kiosk=no) to the fuel station if a
kiosk exists.
the discussion page also mentions shop=convenience

cheers,
Martin
