I have a problem understanding these two important keys. They are defined on Wiki as:

Shop: "Use shop=* to mark the location of a shop and the products that it sells." + "A place selling retail products or services."

Amenity: "Covering an assortment of community facilities including toilets, telephones, banks, pharmacies and schools." + "For describing useful and important facilities for visitors and residents."

Now the problem is I don't know how to recognize one from the other. Here are my cases to resolve:

1. I suggested changing the banks + ATMs color on default map to brown, because I thought shop is selling goods and amenity is about services. But we have hairdresser and beauty salon both under shop=* namespace.

2. I thought that maybe the difference is shop selling services while amenity is the rest of services - but theaters or cinemas are in general paid.

3. The interesting case is also car wash vs car repair - they both are in general selling services (we have car_parts for shops just selling goods), but one is tagged as amenity and the other is tagged as a shop, so a standard rendering would be strange a bit:

What do you think about those cases and where are possible mistakes to fix - and how should we do it?
