It is against my card acceptance agreement to accept a card which does not 
have a signature.  My favorite is the idiot who refuses to sign the card at 
all, because then "The thief will know how to sign my name". Umm, no, the 
thief can now sign the card any way they want and they're good to go. 
Morons. If a card has "See ID" on the back or the back is blank, I'm 
supposed to either confiscate it or refuse it.
