I'm good friends with a guy who works at Walmart, he's an assistant store manager, and has worked there since we were in high school.
About 10 years back he was telling me about the scooters they have in the store, and how they had started receiving a heavier-duty model. I forgot the exact weight capacity-but it was somewhere around 500lbs.
Then it dawned on me that somewhere along the line, people had to complain about the scooters not being big enough, or enough scooters were damaged by large individuals. Enough people eventually complained that Walmart had a meeting at their corporate offices to decide "how big" of customers they were going to accommodate with the newer, heavier-duty scooters.
There were probably polls and studies, weighing people out in the field, etc. Not to mention the work the company that provides the scooters had to do.
