You can use the continue with_actions and just delete the shop tag in your
example. For such tasks I use auxiliary tags like ignore_shop=yes, which I set
when the first rule is processed.
e.g.
shop=food & ignore_shop!=yes {set ignore_shop=yes} [... continue with_actions]
shop=*    & ignore_shop!=yes {set ignore_shop=yes} [... continue with_actions]

So only the first matching shop rule will be processed, but all additional rules
will be processed also.
