I was under the impression this was used in case of a dispute, they could go back to the receipt to determine if it was your signature or not. Not sure how often that is actually used.

Apparently a lot of cards are dropping the requirement anyway. [1]

That’s correct. This new policy from the card brands begins this month for EMV transactions. My customers are excited to reduce check out time by dropping the signature requirement.
