Post Office Employee: Oh, I'm sorry. I can't take your credit card. It's not signed on the back.
Me: Oh... What if I sign the back of the card right now?
POE: Okay.
(I sign.)
Me: Can you take it now?
POE: Sure.
Luckily, when I signed the receipt at the end of the transaction, the signature matched the one I had just put on the back of the card. So the transaction was OBVIOUSLY legit.
It reminded me of this.

Thats funny. I have a friend that only signs his recipts with fake names. He's never had a problem. The only time anyone has ever checked mine was in Hawaii.
I've had that same thing happen. Lame. And one time I signed my 31 Flavors receipt Superwoman. I do get my id checked quite a bit, although never at restaurants, but I think most of the time they only looks at the name on the card and the name and photo on the id. They aren't really checking the signature.
The signature is only there so that they can prove you signed if you object to your bill.
And I believe the Post Office has this regulation everywhere. No signed card? No purchase.
Dumb dumb dumb
