laundries may offer additional services, e.g. they will sell washing
powder, might sell sweets and drinks, offer internet access, etc.
Some might also offer ironing and folding the laundry.

I agree that there are cases where shop and amenity would both be suitable,
and automated laundries might fall into this category.

There are also places that are dedicated for doing your laundry but are not
a "shop" because the use is free (and you will handwash your laundry), and
for these "shop=laundry" would not fit, while amenity=laundry would. We
should not exclude the possibility that we put similar features (features
which serve the same purpose) into different categories depending whether
they require a payment or are for free, if this seems natural for mappers.

I would also hesitate to tag a place with a single washing machine, or
maybe 2, as a "laundry", because of the limited capacity, so I believe
having a washing machine tag for camp sites makes sense.

Cheers,
Martin
