Kate will only allow load totals up to $1999.99 every 10 minutes. It does not matter if it was you or the person before you. If you go over that limit, Kate will freeze. Sept 2015- Several people have reported the 10 minute limit is now longer than 10. Not sure how much longer yet. Several Kate's have locked up following the old 10 minute rule.
9 digit pin problem - Sometimes, for unknown reasons, after you swipe your card and enter your pin, MCE will ask you for a 9 digit pin. To date, no one knows why this happens, or has a fix for it.
If it repeatedly asks you for a pin, this is the same as the 9 digit pin problem and there is no fix.
Unplugging and re-booting by a supervisor doesn't fix this problem.
For consistent MCE issues, use the WM feedback link to report:
https://corporate.walmart.com/contac...orate-feedback
Select 'store experience' and be sure to include the store number and address. If you include your name and phone number the stores sometimes call when it is working again. Do not abuse this as it may lead to your MCE being removed.

Note: If you ever make a mistake, to get out, just unplug the headphone.

How to shut Kate up by sosamo
- Before you press anything, plug the headphones into the jack near the pinpad
- The touchscreen will "gray" out, and you won't be able to press anything.
- Press '3' on the pinpad
- Press 'Enter' on the pinpad
- Continue business as usual on the touch screen.
Note: If you ever make a mistake, to get out, just unplug the headphone.

Happened to be in Wally. Walked by the Kate. Out of order.
It always seems to break on a Friday... When people get paid...
Longest line coming out of the MC.

For a corp that prides itself on automation and lowering prices, one would think that pushing customers to automated kiosks would be the goal.
Unless, though, WM has figured out that it's cheaper to pay their front-line workers what they do than maintain Kate in working order. Ouch.

Maybe Wally is worried that their target market won't be able to figure out Kate and all her nuances. I always leave wondering where these people come from. Makes me laugh.

Anybody doing post office MO as an alternative? Wondering if they allow multiple cards per purchase (500x2) for instance.

I'd be happy to read more into it. That's why I asked the question, so I could read more on it! However a google search and a flyertalk search did not help.

Get over yourself. I asked the question so somebody would answer it. I looked for the answer first and didn't find it. I ask questions on this site, and I answer questions on this site. Insulting people because their question did not pass my personal gauntlet of worthiness is not of interest to me.

Kate has the same sign on it... Still down. MC lines out the door. 
Sigh.
Being butt hurt because you didn't read doesn't help either. ^

2. If it has been answered in first 20 or last 20 pages of the thread, you will get snubbed.
