But I've also mapped a few farm shops that are dedicated buildings, or rooms in a building, such as https://goo.gl/maps/UPQZRLzCCgyQdy548 I can see arguments for having shop=farm_stand. A stand may have less stock in reserve, you may have to wait longer for somebody to notice you to serve you (I think some stands around here have an honesty box, but I could be wrong). OTOH a shop is a shop, and you can get small shops with little stock except what is on the shelves, and there's a single member of staff so you may have to wait for that person to come back inside from a smoke break.

I can't make up my mind whether or not I'd support it. It seems to be a stand-in for something like shop_size=large|small. BTW, I think I see why the original poster suggested direct_marketing.
