  • How current is the information about one-hour photo processing lab (also in Walmart Discount Stores section) and video rental stores?--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:35, 7 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Corporate affairs
  • "Unlike many other retailers, Wal-Mart does not charge a slotting fee to suppliers for their products to appear in the store.[148] Instead, it focuses on selling more popular products and provides incentives for store managers to drop unpopular products, as well as asking manufacturers to supply more popular products" I don't understand this. Walmart asks manufacturers to supply more popular products. However, Walmart seems to pay less for its inventory. If I have some new craze good (think Cabbage Patch dolls, Beanie babies, Tickle Me Elmo), and I know I will sell out of it wherever I ship it why would I send shipments to Walmart who is paying less than other stores if they are just asking me for supply. If we haven't committed to paying for shelf space, how does this work?--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:55, 7 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Finance and governance
  • "a net income of $15.4 billion (equivalent to $16.1 billion in 2014) on $422 billion (equivalent to $442 billion in 2014) of revenue with a 24.7 percent gross profit margin." ??? 15.4/422 <> 24.7%.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 12:49, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism
  • This should be reorganized so that Criticism is not so brief. Sections like "Gender and sexual orientation" and "Employee and labor relations" may fit better in this section.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:34, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • I have completed my review. I am failing this nomination. If the nominator did not take the time to address the concerns of the prior reviews, I doubt that this extensive list would be addressed. I am not averse to evaluating attempted responses to the concerns above. I could be convinced to reopen the review, but I see little chance that things that have gone this many reviews without being addressed are going to be addressed now.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:42, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
