    Nope. 4 digit code and that's all.

    I agree with Yameneko.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    England must be completely different in this case, because I get asked about my signature all the time. My signature isn't 100% identical to the original by any means, but it's pretty damn close. For some reason, I always seem to get pulled up by the cashiers when I do my best signature. I've been asked that many times, I fear using my credit card. I usually end up drawing the money out of the "Hole in the wall" machine before shopping these days.

    I just don't understand it. *sigh*

    That's funny. Not all debit cards are like that. If you have a Visa, you can treat it like a credit card and still have to sign receipts. :P

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    That's only when you use it as a credit card. My debit card is debit/master card. If I used it as debit, I just use my code. If I use it as credit, I sign for it.

    In NZ, you used a code for almost everything. Signing (in my opinion) is one of the most stupid things in the world, because not everyone checks (and apparently, according to what you guys are saying, even less people check over in the US) and they're actually not that hard to forge. You don't have to be perfect at it, just enough to be a variation of the original signature. I think it's awful.

    The UK has been doing a few trial runs with using codes instead of signatures, and I hope they make it standard really soon because I really don't like having to merely sign something when I spend huge amounts of money. All I had to do to buy about £800 worth of PC equipment was sign a couple of pieces of paper. Yeesh.

    I also hate chequeueueues with a passion and think they should be made redundant worldwide. Every single transfer I do is done electronically or at the bank.

    My signature has a lot of room for arteest-ism. As long as I put anything that looks remotely like a "P" on the front, I can get away with pretty much anything. Usually it's just a bunch of scribbles but I am definately gonna try the grid thing next time. Or better yet just, "PX"

    This is the first time I ever get to say: OMG I'VE SEEN THAT BEFORE! I was wondering where it was I saw it not too long ago. And now I have. Yay Shoy!

    I always check, and I'm a real hardass about it because anything that gives my pathetic life power over other humans deserves to be milked for all its worth.

    I work in a shop, and I always check the signature, I just look at the signature, put it down and watch as they sign to see if it's the same.

    I pay special attention to black people, because everyone knows that black people steal credit cards and forge signatures, of course.

    (Oddly enough, there are quite a lot of notices in my shop about black women with stolen credit cards which leads me to believe that either they're true, or my store has something against black women with credit cards, assuming they're stolen instantly)

    I hope that was sarcasm...
