I had a check rejected at the bank. My signature didn't match the card on file closely enough, so they sort of put me through the ringer before they cashed it. Wasn't even a lot of money.

Same in Poland where they ask you to "sign legibly". Which makes completely no sense, my name is already printed somewhere else on the form.

You got lucky.

Bank managers will have clerks randomly pick a stack of checks and reject them so their clients feel like there's some auditing going on.

I was right there. I watched her try to match the signature.

That sounds like an old wives tale.
