Note that we also have shop=trade. It would be good to make the
difference between both tags clear (of deprecate shop=trade, which I
wouldn't oppose).
"trade" is an attribute.
Any type of shop (plumbing, electrical, lumber, restaurant supplies)
could be trade focused.
Such shops do not cater to walk in consumer traffic, and may be
hostile to customers
who come in without trade knowledge.
Wholesale implies a large quantity of goods, they sell in quantity (the
quantity may be over some time, say a year).
A 'Trade' shop implies specialist goods and specialist knowledge, not
things that are present in supermarkets.
An Electronics trade shop will know what a 12 puff capacitor is and have
several types available, high Q please.
A Plumbers trade shop will have several types of stop cocks available...
etc.
A trade shop may accept walk in customers .. but give them retail prices
where as a trade person would get trade price.
Some trades are protected by law and a trade shop may refuse sales based
on that .. usually safety related.
