Yes-- at my local suoermarket a small purchase will just go through, while a larger one (~$25 is the threshold) requires a signature.

- sofixa 5y agoA signature? I'm sorry, are you from the past? Joking aside, I don't see how a signature is of any use provides your card is supposed to have yours on the back, so anyone having your card has your signature too. PINs have been a thing since I've had a card (2011), and I don't see why anyone still relies on signatures for card authentication. The way things work in developed countries is the following - payments under 30,50,100 euros (depending on the country) are contactless where you just tap your card on top and it's done, and for more you have to insert the card and type your PIN. Or you can just use your phone for any amount by tapping it.

- cpursley 5y agoIt's not a joke, US payment systems are hot garbage (as are bank apps). Much if the rest of the world has been doing contactless payment for 5 years already.
