I'm sure some of the more hardcore guys have already looked into how to acquire a gas station/Valero so they can sell themselves 500k in VRs without any suspicion...

I've wondered the same thing about trying to get a reseller account with Vanilla/InComm/whoever to sell VRs.

The MoneyCenter Express at my second favorite Wally World has been frozen on a Windows XP boot screen for two days straight. I know because I went in twice for about $6000 in MOs.

All of the Wallys near me removed the money order option off of their kiosks. I can still load to BB but the kiosk lost a lot of it's luster for me.

Yeah, does anyone know how to mute Kate? That ..... talks way too much

No but seriously, that vol control knob or what I assume is one, is a cruel joke. Just don't get the point of loud announcements of transactions at a freaking Walmart. With all kinda people watching/hearing -- things could get dicey with the wrong clientele eavesdropping.

Had an interesting interaction with kate today.
First Kate I encountered worked perfectly on the first 1K load, after that I kept getting, "For your protection, you will need addtional help...... blah blah blah" A supervisor came over made kate happy, and I used a different BB card, and on the first swipe of a $500 GV, got the same screen, same supervisor came over and made kate happy again. Left said WM and went to another one, was able to load the rest of my BB's with all but the two GC I used when kate got mad.... I'm going to wait 24 hours before trying to load the other two GC.

How many cards allowed to pay for one MO? $6000 seems quite high to even split between 2 -4 cards.. Thanks

For the first time I've seen locally, the Kates are enabled to process Money Orders here. Downside, the nine digit PIN bug.

Exactly. When Kate becomes sick, she becomes Karl and just like other men, she asks for things that she doesn't need or want like 9 digit PINs that don't exist, but continues to whine about those 9 digit PINs anyway to show how sick she is. Nothing you can do but hope she gets better in a hurry.

My Kate works well for a while then she must get the flu or something for a day or so. Then she is back to her old self. When I first started talking to Kate a while back she was quite a grump but she must be on better meds now.
