She then calls a manager over and explains what had transpired. He looks at my card and says it's their policy that it must be signed or they can not accept it. I again explained to him why I don't and said "you know, never mind I'll go elsewhere to make my purchaces if they didn't want my money". He said to the cashier "have him sign this" and pulled some blank register tape out of the register. I signed it knowing it didn't prove a damn thing but to him, he was saving face. He then thanked me for my business and I said "neither of you even asked to see my driver's license, your comparing two signatures that I just wrote" and walked off. The more I thought about it, it really pissed me off. While that happened many years ago (when the card swipe was done by the cashier on the register) I still do not sign my cards, but now days the cashier doesn't even touch your card. You swipe it, you sign it and leave. Very rarely have I been asked for a D.L. to verify. When they do, I thank them for checking.

Cards usually say not valid unless signed on the back of the card. THis is a requirement of the creditor and the store has to follow that or they can refuse your card. Its not the stores fault. Try using it at the Post Office without signing it. Writing CHECK ID on the back isnt valid either.
