At the shop/in the shop

Why I can say sometimes at the shop or in the shop? I don't understand any difference between these two.

I can say" At the butcher's so can I say I am at the shop now or in the shop now? or maybe I should say I am at a shop or in a shop?

Hi, Both are commonly used. You can say "I'm at / in the shop" to indicate your presence there. However, "I'm in the shop" can also mean that you work in the shop, depending on the context.
