I mentioned in the discussion on the new marketplace RFC that there are some businesses which operate as both a shop and a marketplace. Some examples that I have mapped include:
Vendors will rent rooms, tables, shelves, etc in these buildings, but rather than tending them like a normal market stall, staff members will handle customer purchases at a single front desk like a normal shop. There is no currently existing way to document this on the wiki page for amenity=marketplace.
I think these should be tagged with amenity=marketplace and the appropriate marketplace tags, as may soon be determined by the RFC, but additionally there should be something to clarify the shopper’s experience in these. We could:
Add shop=marketplace — currently discouraged on the wiki, might be difficult to maintain proper distinction between this and amenity=marketplace
Add shop=yes, typically used as a placeholder for more specific tagging of a normal shop, but here it would function as a modifier
Invent other tag to modify marketplaces
Apply existing tag to modify marketplaces — couldn’t find any on Key:shop in the staffing/automation section
Alternatively, we could modify the closest shop=* with something like market=yes, marketplace=yes, or vendor=yes.
Looks just like a normal second hand shop (for the buyer, does it really matter if the employee is from the “The Fair Vintage Market”, self employed, etc? So a sub-tag is fine IMHO).
So rather shop=* and market=yes.
From consumer perspective it is a shop. I take products, bring them to the cashier desk and pay. Therefore I would go with shop=*
The fact that products are owned by different traders could go to a secondary tag.
In the german speaking area there is a brand “s’Fachl” specialising in this concept. They are tagged diversely: gift, general, art, variety_store, convenience to name some shop=* values.
Not clear if it’s the same as they say " We […] sell for you". Are the “owner of the products” present? If not, it’s just a shop, and they rent their own place to the producer!
This sounds rather like a ‘concession’ in a larger shop, e.g. a branded counter, desk or kiosk in a department store.
Similarly, my local supermarket has a staffed deli counter, butcher and cheesemonger. While the deli is branded the same as the supermarket, the other two have the own names. I pay for all my groceries at the exit.
I believe that “Consignment” is the general term for this style of business, where you provide an item for the store to sell for you and you are not paid until the item is sold.
It might legally be the case, but I don’t think that would be a good tag here since my understanding of consignment stores is that anyone can go up and ask to sell something through the store? I’m not sure how they typically work.
