The problem is that the person receiving your signature usually has no way to verify that the signature belongs to the person authorized to whatever it is you signed for.
It's worse than that these days because you normally put your signature on a totally-broken too-small stylus pad that doesn't look as good as your worst ever pen-on-paper signature. Even if I made my best effort at most POS machines, it couldn't be used to prove anything.
- AnimalMuppet 9y agoI've made that remark, actually, that "These things are too illegible to be used to prove anything". At least once, the clerk (or bank teller - I forget which) corrected me, saying that they actually have been successfully used to prove something. (I didn't get details...)
