But probably on a Kate. Some stores don't have Kates, or if they do, they are down a lot. MC don't process easily at a standard register.

Just pay attention to the prompts. You'll learn them after a call or two. It takes me 42 seconds to call & set the PIN on a US Bank GC, half of which is also used to remove packaging, stickers, & rubber cement.

MCGC is fine at a CS register. Just 2 extra quick screen taps compared to a VGC.

I wonder why did you need the "asian" qualifier here.
