Yes. We have to sign for purchases over $25 at retail. It's like the signature on the bottom of the check. If there is a fraud claim they'll trot out the signature as one of the evidences and compare to the card holders - at least in theory.

It varies wildly whether you will have to sign when using a credit card, and where and what size of purchase requires it. Some places, I have to sign for a $0.99 pack of gum, other places I can buy $200 worth of groceries without a signature. Sometimes it's even different at the same places day to day.

And only for retail. And the store is supposed to check your ID if there's no signature on the card (which is stupid, because they're not comparing your card's signature to your current signature). It's just a way to push back fraud charges onto the merchants.
