Many retailers let you order online and pick up what you ordered at a store (this is often called click and collect). However such retailers also often provide dedicated pick up points — these are not stores — you cannot buy anything there, you can only pick up products there that you previously ordered online.

Currently such pickup locations are tagged with shop=outpost, which does not make any sense. A pickup location is neither a shop (because you cannot buy anything there) nor an outpost (which is a military post or an outlying settlement). So why should it be tagged with shop=outpost? That is just confusing and misleading.

I therefore propose to deprecate shop=outpost in favor of pickup=*. E.g. an IKEA pickup point could be tagged with pickup=furniture and a Decathlon pickup point with pickup=sports (the values of pickup=* are meant to be analogous to the already established shop=* values).
