Fuckers won't peel right.
I am so looking forward to going home and ... mopping my kitchen for a second time today. And moving the fridge to mop under there. And possibly mop the cabinets.
Sigh.
And what's the fun in becoming an immortal demon if you're not regular, am I right?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Bed Bath and Beyond's purchasing workflow is filled with "Show card to cashier" prompts. They're not looking.
I do know I can grab a card and run to the Starbucks near krav and get pretty much anything I want and they won't look at the card. No signature required. I'm sure (or at least am hoping) that it's just that my dollar value has been low, and that's why they haven't asked for anything beyond swiping it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, there's a certain cutoff, below which they don't need to have you sign. I think around $8, but I'm not sure.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
At Walgreen's, they don't make you sign if it's under $20, at least. Maybe $25.

Our wings are not tired.
I think with Starbucks (and some other place I visited recently), they don't need you to sign for anything under $20 or $25.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I was lazy about changing the name on my credit card after I got married, and for about 9 months, my CC did not match my driver's license. Cashiers regularly asked to see my license and compared the two, but no one ever mentioned that the names were totally different. My signature is pretty much the same illegible scrawl, so I guess that's all they were looking at.

Punishingly Intricate
At Whole Foods you don't have to sign if it's under $50.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Ooh, I hate that. Bananas are supposed to be easy.

But it's not work. The floors and cabinets will not require reports or troubleshooting or conversation that leads to anxiety.

Yep. Some places have a ten dollar and under threshold where no signature is required, and other places it's twenty-five dollars or less. It all depends what the merchant is comfortable with. At the restaurant, we require a signature for all purchases. It makes life easier when dealing with the liquor control board.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
My boss gave me his credit card to buy some stuff once. No one seemed to notice I wasn't Louis.
At my place of employment we have Corporate P-cards. Which are only issued to one person per department, usually the accountant. Who never actually has to buy anything, so we are always signing out her p-card to make purchases. Another example of how safe and secure our procedures are.

Good grief, Sophia. That's so crazy!!!
I dislike when they don't require signature. It just seems shady. The only place I appreciate it is the gas station. Though this is less of an issue for me with the credit card--but this is why I DON"T like that I could use my ATM card as a credit card. Debit is fine, but when I dont' have to sign and it comes right out of my bank account? NOT ON.
