Shop assistants// SELL shoes over a SALES counter.
They do not "sales shoes over a a sales counter".
It is English .. and has peculiarities.
For the OSM tagging .. use sells not sales, sells makes 'English' sense
in that context.

Why don't they call it a sale counter, then ?

actually sales is the plural of the noun "sale". Why would you use
the plural in this context? Especially as it typically means "a
period during which a shop or dealer sells goods at reduced prices."
I agree that the word "sells" is better for use as a tag, a verb is
ok for a property, a plural noun less so, and even less as it's
highly ambiguous in this case.
cheers,
