A few years back me and the wife went on a cruise that disembarked in NOLA. We had a lovely time and at one point went to buy some new luggage cases: one of ours had fallen to bits and the other had suffered somewhat (my fault.) We took the tram out of town to a mall on the outskirts and hit a decent sized department store.

I was offered a tablet to sign on when I offered up my card. So I took back my card and signed it on the back and then loosely repeated that same signature on the tablet thing.

I'd had that card for around two years. I never sign them these days because it doesn't really mean anything around here any more in the UK. Bear in mind I am old enough to remember signing cheques for "To cash".
