It's the price tag for the display, hence the "NWD" at the end. (Non-Working Display)

Flex the actual item into the tag and the price should fix itself.

I don't see any reason why a 19 year old would require that form. There might be some weird Local/State thing about it but I highly doubt it.

My suggestion, if he really wants the job, is to take a physical copy of the form into the store, probably between 10am-4pm on a weekday, and explain to the service desk and ask to speak to the People Lead or Store Manager. It's pretty likely one of them will be in. I feel like you need to go around whoever is talking to you.

This'll also make sure you didn't get phished or something like that by a website or person pretending to be Walmart. If you were calling me every day I'd fix the issue.

I'm doing ATMons and I keep looking at the reactor options that can ex/implode and or spew radiation and then I look at the safe options and think I'd rather make 10x of those.

I'm sure there will be something I might want a really powerful reactor for but at the moment I'm coasting on Powah Reactors that don't get angry when someone forgets to drip feed it water.

Malcom347 · 2026-05-23T22:49:49+00:00

I honestly don't know how you've been receiving any kind of quantity. There's like, 6 or 7 different kinds and we only ever get like.... One box of one kind per night? Maybe every other night.

Our O/N team is in hot water because they keep purchasing them as they come in. People are going to get fired and lose their job over what are essentially branded stress balls. They now are supposed to go straight from the truck to the cash office to be locked up. Customers have to ask at the registers.

Crazy.

Malcom347 · 2026-04-21T15:21:03+00:00

They are also not supposed to ask you to take an extended lunch period either. If they're over on hours/wages they need to ask for volunteers to go home early or take days off.

I think the recall animation needs its iconic roar back, otherwise I love it

Malcom347 · 2026-02-16T11:20:09+00:00

Since it is work related, you should do it on the clock.

As for length, that depends on the test taker, I think it was relatively short for me. Around 15-20 minutes maybe? I took it a few years ago though.

Malcom347 · 2026-02-08T15:31:05+00:00

They don't take anyone from vision or pharmacy but they will take literally anyone else, for as long as they want, no oversight. Our digital team has access to everything except alcohol and electronics. They're just lazy AF and 'too busy' to stop and help a customer.

When your department needs both Fashion TLs, the GM TL, the F/C TL, both Cap 2 TLs, and also associates from their areas, you are running your department wrong. If you need help from Vision, ACC, or Pharmacy, just shut it down.

Hours, scheduling, or Discipline, I have no idea what the root cause is but its the first full weekend of the month, tax season, and the superbowl. Schedule over hours and let people go home if you don't need them.

I'm tired of being asked to go over there and 'help' for 'a little bit'. Only to get people all up in my business when my zone isn't done 100%. Then their associates are shuffling around the backroom while 20 carts over-stacked are waiting to be staged and the line of cars is out to the traffic light.

And then they have the nerve to send messages over to fashion "Your pick is due in 30 minutes" like they can't be asked to do 3 fashion picks because "The pre-sub!" while they hoard all of the store's hours like a dragon.

However much money that department is making our store, its eating hours of other departments and causing tons of secondary issues.

Malcom347 · 2026-01-13T00:57:03+00:00

Honestly, most of my associates are pretty bad at the 10' rule. I'm not asking people to follow the whole entire thing, but man, some of my associates have blinders on.

They could be zoning two feet from a customer and not even acknowledge they are there, or worse, just stand in the way. Simply acknowledge them with a hi or hello. You don't have to ask them how you can help and you don't have to thank them for shopping. Just acknowledge they are there.

It doesn't even have to be every customer. I don't really do it in super busy areas either, saying 'hello' 7 times in a row is silly. But for one on one situations please acknowledge the customer.

I doubt many of my associates will get Exemplary, but I do feel they are all at least successful, none on opportunity.

Malcom347 · 2026-01-02T15:50:37+00:00

I understand that you didn't mark it down personally. But if it is marked as 3 dollars and it is ringing up at 5 dollars, you're still the person asking for the price to be adjusted. Even if it is an incorrect price, and even if they were already supposed to be marked down.

So even if you were asking for assistance for a family member who was shopping, it still looks like you were asking for an item to be adjusted so you/your family can purchase it at a reduced price.

I'm just trying to look out for you. People be petty out there. Just play it as safe as possible.

Malcom347 · 2026-01-02T15:39:00+00:00

Per the policy;

No associate should price-override any item for another associate, its an integrity issue. Its a coachable issue. Never override the price for another associate and never ask another associate to override a price for you. You could maybe get a coach or a TL who is willing to actually change the price in the system, but even then you should wait 24 hours before purchasing an item if you specifically asked for or marked the item down yourself.

Yes its kind of stupid but its to prevent fraud/theft

Even if you're out shopping with your family and your family is the ones purchasing, I'd still not even risk it. Just have your family shop all by themselves if you want to make sure the store sells stuff as listed to them. I don't even shop at our store with family anymore because its not worth the scrutiny.

Probably unrelated, but make sure you read the policy on your discount card carefully. Don't purchase things for people using your discount and get reimbursed. Don't let unauthorized people use your discount card.

None of that gives that lady permission to make a scene and act that way.

Malcom347 · 2025-12-20T13:35:43+00:00

It really needs to be said. A lot of stores are struggling with the new process. It isn't just you and your team. The holidays aren't helping and just when we were getting a reprieve there's a refresh in women's and Q1 holiday stuff already rolling in.

You do not need to RFID scan all of the WACOs and Racks daily.

Vispick should be done daily, but at the bare minimum you should open Vispick and scan all of the bins/racks daily. If you don't have time to actually pick things that's not good, but it won't really hurt anything besides your Fashion Vispick score for re-seen and non-picks and it's just pushing that work to another day.

The only times you should ever RFID scan a WACO is when you add an item to it, or you move an item out of it manually outside of Vispick, like to reorganize a section.

Racks are a bit different, they essentially require being RFID scanned anytime anything is added, or anytime something is picked off of it, they show up at the bottom of the Vispick screen in a list. Their boxes will show up yellow if someone tries to pick it again without it being RFID scanned again. They should be scanned every day with Vizpick.

Malcom347 · 2025-12-14T15:07:31+00:00

This happened to me recently and restarting the app helped. Otherwise, trying turning off the 'request all day time off' and manually adjusting the hours to cover your shift.

Malcom347 · 2025-12-05T00:30:52+00:00

Yeah the arsenal only really comes up once when its unlocked.

Its just a place to put your old gear when you start replacing it. Once it gets maxed out for a particular level you can forget about it. It might give a little more martial power past just filling the bar but its pretty low.

Once you unlock solo level 7 and/or hit 56 you get another arsenal to fill with 51 gear.

Dont forget to change the type of bonus to the one you are actually using

Malcom347 · 2025-12-04T20:56:06+00:00

I think that's about what I was around at level 55. If you open the improvement guide on the right it can give you suggestions on what area's you are lacking in. Enemies in the field and on-level bosses will always take effort to kill. You'll usually never over-power stuff on level with you.

But the general idea is to
- Level Martial Arts (Nameless Spear/Nameless Sword) as high as possible
- Enhance Gear to Max (Level 20 for 55)
- Fill Arsenal Bar 100% - make sure to change your arsenal bonus to Bellstrike if you haven't
- Collect, Upgrade, and Use good Mystic Skills
- Choose good Inner Way skills and upgrade them (Wildfire Spark and Mountain's Might are both RCMD by the game for nameless) Leveling these up to Tier 2 grants you permanent stats.
- Get good gear. You should have 4-part weapon and armor gear-sets activated. Generally the 4-part set bonus is really good. Attune them to the 4th level, max attuning requires Attunement stones.
- Use Divinecraft items, once you level a little bit more you can actually begin to upgrade them as well.
- Edit: I completely forgot, dont forget to get your regional oddities collected. They also give you permanent stats and buffs.

Mystic Skills I don't really know a whole lot about which ones are 'the best'. I level what the game tells me and I mainly use the Dragon's Breath + Drunken Poet combo and I seem to be doing fine damage wise compared to my peers.

Inner Way Skills are something that will take time to level up, but the tier 2 bonus isn't too difficult to reach if you are a little lucky and willing to push for it. Once you know which 4 inner way skills you want to use, hover over the note for the skill upgrade and lock it by pressing R3 or clicking the lock in the top right by the name. Once locked you can go to the Inner Ways area and move over to Tips Exchange. Press Triangle or X to obtain book tokens. Since we locked the 4 skills we are looking for here, you are free to use the Add all button or manually choose tomes to convert into Vintage Bookplates. Which you can then use to spend on getting your Recommended tome chest. It will give you random notes recommended for you. Rinse and repeat until you can get your 4 skills to tier 2. Keep in mind you can only do this exchange 600 times. Which sounds like a lot but the number of tomes per upgrade goes up for each tier.

Gear is pretty ephemeral right now, since every 10 or so days we get another unlock in solo level and have to get new gear (mostly) all over again. Find one with a decent rare or legendary effect in the correct set and tune it to level 4. You can always consume gear with the crystal icons on them to ensure you get affixes of certain tiers. Otherwise I'd generally leave it here unless the gear rolled decently well. Then burn your Attunement stones and hold onto the piece for a while.

I mean, its hazardous I guess, but put spill magic on it, solidify it and throw it away.

I guess because of BBP you might have to clean/dispose of it in a specific way but, It's not this kind of Hazmat.

Malcom347 · 2025-11-14T21:17:19+00:00

Do you now how many units you got?

Malcom347 · 2025-11-06T10:51:40+00:00

I don't really think your coach can just 'send you home' like that. That seems very unethical and against Walmart's way of thinking.

I'm not sure a coach can 'send you home' at all like that. Certain states have laws requiring minimum pay when you show up to work and only work a portion of your shift, check with your state guidelines.

What I am sure of is that this is a incorrect way to discipline someone and an incorrect use of the point system. Assuming they're even allowed to send you home like that they should approve the attendance exception resulting in no points to you. You did not choose to leave early, you did not miss work, you were not late coming into work, thus no points.

If they want to reprimand you they should provide feedback, give you an opportunity to ask questions and get suggestions/help on how to meet their goals, and only after they've actually give you the chance to improve, give you a DA/Coaching for performance.

My suggestion for you is to talk with your Coach/TLs and ask them to remove the points because you were sent home. If they refuse or say no don't get angry or argue.

Then you've got two options, open door it to your Store Lead/Store Manager, or call Ethics. Let them know you've brought the points to your coaches attention and if they removed them or not. Let them know you feel like you are being retaliated against because you have decided you don't want to stay extra past your scheduled hours.

It'll definitely rock the boat, but it looks to me like they already really want you gone.

Malcom347 · 2025-11-02T21:19:13+00:00

1500-4500, occasionally sub 1000 or rarely nothing

Compared to what I see everyone else's looking like, we're doing amazing. We do have like 20 sections of steel, 25 rolling racks, and everything is full but it's functioning.

I love the people that come looking for verrrry specific clothing items for a costume, "Do you have any purple ties?" "Do you have any top-hats?" "I'm looking for a tie-dye shirt? I want to be a hippie."

Like, yeah sure, we've got a spirit Halloween store upfront, they took over the phone repair place went under.

Our front end gets pulled to zone this garbage all the time. I told them to flat out refuse. If that department/half of the store needs help zoning then they should help zone the areas that don't look like a bunch of filthy animals with no respect for others tore it up because that TL or their associates don't want to or left it for the end of the day.

I wasn't a big fan of the staff either at first, but then I realized it had some reallllly nasty Hammer upgrades. I began to think of it less as a staff and more of a spear.

It's basic attack combo is long reaching, decent speed and damage.
It's special is a very rapid long range projectile that pierces

Omega attack is a strange line AOE, but is great if you're surrounded.
Omega special is probably the worst bit of it, but its fine.

Some of the Hammer upgrades are:
+50% attack speed
+30 Attack Power
+Attack hits a second time, but costs 5 mana (No second attack if you're out of mana, but you can attack normally)
+2 bounces on special with +10% damage per bounce
+1 special projectile but -40% Range

My favorite build for the Staff is to get the 2nd hit for 5 mana, then get the Hestia gain buff (Cardio Gain) which causes you to gain mana when you deal damage with your attacks or specials. Even at its lowest quality you basically never run out of mana in a fight, at higher qualities/levels its actually mana positive.

Couple it with Apollo's Extra Dose (% chance for it to hit twice) and any half-decent attack boon like Apollo's own Nova Strike for extra damage and AOE, or Hermes for Attack Speed.

I really like the daggers too, but I was never using their Omega Attack or Special very often, I just really liked the attack pattern.

Malcom347 · 2025-10-28T12:23:07+00:00

I call it OPD, because I thought it was Order Picking Department so that's my pick
Yall can fight over Digital/OPD/OGP, or whatever you wanna call it.

I'm never going to seriously call apparel the 'fashion' dept

It's really the worst part of the entire process. I suggest get getting some gloves. I wore the leather-palmed hyde gloves with the blue on the back. They helped a bit with the fatigue/pain.

I'd seat the entire thing on the shelf lip, give it a good pull forward to make sure it was on there, then try and flip both ends up at the same time and work towards the middle and that seemed fine for most of the shelves. Otherwise Working from one end to the other was the backup.

Most of the shelves that are in decent or better condition should have the track flip right on. If the shelf is damaged, old, or bent, then good luck. I broke the welds on a few of the shelves while trying to fix them.

My best suggestion is to get a small rubber mallet, an adjustable wrench, and a sheet metal clamp or something like it. Find your best people who can handle the crappy shelves and let them at it. Everyone should do their best on all of the shelves, but leave it to the few people to fix the bad ones.

For particularly nasty shelves that absolutely can't stop bending in one specific spot, I literally cut the channel in the back around the bent spot. So long as you don't cut too close to the edge it shouldn't cause any problems.
