You guys STILL accept signatures? Signature for payment on cards was phased out 10 years ago in Australia.
Honestly, I don't think the signature actually does anything. Any of them that require a signature on a pad, I just do a short scribble, and it's fine. If it's a paper receipt (like at a sit-down restaurant), I usually just use my actual signature.
Yes, make all customers touch a germy touchpad. Infect them all.
Screen based ones I let my inner child play and draw a dick. It’s an easy way to tell if they actually see it, or just capture it.
I'm now imagining your real name is Dick, and you're just messing with people (assuming anyone looks at the signatures) by drawing that.
I try my hands at cool graffiti
There was a comedy website a good 20 years ago at this point (Zug, if anyone else out there remembers them) where someone tested this by doing more and more ridiculous "signatures" every time to see if anyone called him on it. If memory serves, the closest thing he had to an issue was a store manager chuckling a bit when it devolved to him just straight up drawing dicks.
