Didn't we used to have to sign the receipt that the store keeps, and they give us a copy to keep for our records?Or an e-signature on an electronic device. Is this still a thing? Or do I just not get out much lately?

Maybe it's just a restaurant thing. I literally haven't been to a restaurant since 2023.

I'm American and use credit cards for everything, and I know what you mean. I almost never have to sign receipts anywhere as long as my transaction is low enough. Usually the only time I'm signing receipts or screens is if it's a bar or restaurant with tips.

When this first started happening I asked one of the workers at whatever store I was in and they said it didn't require signatures under a certain transaction dollar amount. IDK if laws in the US changed or what around that time, but it seemed to suddenly change everywhere.

TIL Americans still sign for credit card transactions.
