I've never seen anyone verify my signature in any country, including signature-mostly countries like the US. I assume it's just performance art for the sake of insurance or something.
Australian cashiers get very confused when you have to sign the reciept. They never verify the signature on the back of the card so they’re essentially just asking for your autograph.

I had one cashier ask why my card wasnt signed. I said because it doesnt matter, if a thief had my card they could forge my signature and you couldn't tell. Then she asked me to sign the card before she'd swipe it. I replied, "what if I'm the thief right now, I can sign anything"

1. Write bullshit signature 2. Dispute charge 3. VISA compares signatures and finds them to not match 4. Profit?

I found that when I first moved here. Everywhere uses contactless payment now. Last time I signed for something was back home in the UK over Christmas

have had the opposite experience while back in Aus. in the US I've never had the signature checked so I got into the habit of putting the card away immediately. in Aus they keep making me get the card back out
