The clickbait title from 2018 was referring to credit-card signatures.

As credit-card companies kill customer-signature requirements, retailers like Walmart and Target are following suit.

Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express have either already stopped or announced plans to stop requiring customers to sign their receipts when checking out.

There was still a requirement to sign in the USA in 2018???

Pretty sure Iโ€™ve had to sign at least once this year. Lotta freedom tho.

Requirement? No.

Old terminals that weren't replaced/updated? Yeah absolutely. I still periodically have to sign.

I have seen a gas pump have a "press cancel to skip PIN entry" message...

Edit: here it is https://imgur.com/bypass-pin-veorkyV

Usually they ask for the zip code of the billing address, and if you found a card, there's a good chance you'd be in that zip code.

just because us statesians have heard of PINs doesn't mean we know how to use them

Just at Walmart? Because tons businesses still requiring it even on small amounts. Fucking annoying.
