> Next you’ll have me believing you can scrawl a signature to verify a card payment. I have heard a horror story from a friend who was on holiday in NYC who can't pay at a certain store (I forgot what store, sorry) because the terminals are signature-only (and the card is PIN-only because that makes a lot more sense). Edit: If I remember correctly, it was resolved by getting a cash advance on an ATM, which a) works precisely because there's a PIN, and b) is frustrating to him because it adds up unnecessary (if the terminal worked) fees.
