You have a lot to learn. A VISA logoed card WILL BE accepted with a
valid signature for the default account at at VISA merchant. If it is
a a problem to you, you may want to have a look at www.visa.com under
debit cards. It is a dual purpose card. It CAN also be used via the
PIN pad, especially for merchants who do EFT but not credit card
sales.

Why don't you try it with a signature for a change?
