Yeah, I can’t remember ever seeing a teller compare my signature but I think I only have written like <10 checks in my life. And I haven’t signed the back of any card in at least a decade if not two.
When depositing checks I receive (rare) I just assume the signature they extract from my cell phone picture is saved but not used/compared. If they did compare my checks would get rejected, my signature is inconsistent.
As for POS systems, I just draw a line. In fact I find it hard to believe it’s worth much given how most people just scribble. I know in credit card disputes they will ask for it but the few disputes I’ve had (and been ruled against even though I’m positive the person paid for and used the services/product) didn’t feel like “if only I had a signature I’d be golden”, I didn’t even build in signature capturing to the in-person payment software, it wasn’t worth it. For 0.01% being lost to fraudulent chargebacks, it would be a huge waste to spent the time/effort/storage to implement signatures.
