No, I don’t have to sign a receipt when I pay on my credit card. You’re the only branch in HRM that requests that you do. When I refused, you made the most appalling comments in front of me and other customers and the only reason I didn’t complain to the manager was that you would most likely be fired. You need some anger management and better courtesy skills. —A Tired Canadian

… I may be livin’ in the ’80s here … but I thought you did have to sign those …
Derp?
Help.
I haven’t signed one since I got my PIN CC over a year ago….2010 represent!
My MC has a chip, some places all I do is ‘tap’, others I have to enter a PIN, others I have to sign. So….what’s your problem?
But, just because you were a jerk, was no reason for the clerk to be one too.
Ah I’ve been hounded by the rents to get a credit card … never got around to it so I didn’t know. I seeeeee though.
I’m with Hugo’s last statement.
i always take the card look at it, swip or insert in machine. rarely does a signature required come up, but most customers don’t care either/or
If your card doesn’t have a chip and pin number then you do have to sign the mercent copy of the receipt (but not the cardholder copy). The store needs that copy with your signature on it for their transaction records.
I call bullshit, I think if this cashier had actually said something “appalling” OP would have given us a detailed word by word reenactment. But we have to take your word for it?
I want details, bitches!
we know it’s a crappy tire but i would enjoy hearing the details of the conversation. appalling language hmmmmm, never shocking though
Is it just me or does everyone who posts a bitch on here think the whole fucking world owes them something. Jesus Christ OP you had to sign your fucking name. It’s not like you had to give a DNA sample! Get the fuck over yourself. Man, people today will fucking go off the deep end for any little inconvenience. People need to “man the fuck up” or check the fuck out!
Maybe this is the OP? http://youtu.be/Kb-dhzSPFiU
Also someone who describes themselves as tired usually = jerk.
Sorry for the double post but I forgot to add that I also love how people who probably never worked retail in their lives seem to know everything about every single stores’ policies.
They have PIN machines at CT so, either:
a) OB didn’t have a chip card and did in fact have to sign the receipt, making OB a Bitch, or
b) OB had a chip card and entered a PIN, and didn’t have to sign anything, making cashier a bitch.
Which one?
The OP stated that this was the only location that required a signature. So it seems like he even knew that before going in. SO OP IZ A BITCH

Dilligaf45 – For some reason your post made me think that maybe the signatures would not have matched, meh, I’m probably reading too much into things.
When you make a cash payment on/to your credit card you don’t have to sign. When you use your credit card to make a purchase, you do need to sign.
“Also someone who describes themselves as tired usually = jerk.”
lol you know that was a clue to the name of the store right?
scuse me, but you do have to sign a reciept. otherwise, you could say that you never got that item, to the card company. yes, that is what some scammers do. and without it, your warrenty is no good.
Theres a couple of places that make you sign into the facilities…All the guy’s I work with had some problem with that….not signing in, no, using their own names, for some reason we’d always have Doc, & Boo Boo, Snoopy often signed in, Snow White, Peter Rabbit, sneezy , sleepy, dopey….none of the guy’s would sign their own names, really pissed off management, now they have a sign in sheet with all of us schedualed to work on the show, our names on the sheet already & they check us off as we go in ~;]
I hope you never win the lotto OP, those things need to be signed now. Besides, what are you hiding if you’re not willing to sign?
Let’s rate this on a scale; it’s pissing rain in shitvile (HRM) and has been since 1345 AD, St. Swithens has called in sick, the west is flooded as all fuck, Mississippi is bursting it’s banks, 40% of Slave Lake community is burnt to the ground, gas prices in NS are higher than the skid marks in sebastians diaper, the NDP reign of terror is almost half over, and this tosser is in a snit over signing a fucking credit card receipt!!!
I know Snoop, but the OP still sounds like a jerk 🙂
How is this such a big enough deal to possibly bug someone enough to go home and write a bitch about It?. OP you’re an ass.
Typical Spryfield illiterate consumers.
OK. Two things. Wait, make that three.
1. I love your link painey 😀
2. Basil, I love your rant. It’s true, how bad have we got it, seriously?
3. OB, fuck off. Sign the damn receipt, what’s the big deal for dog’s sake?!
If you swipe a PIN card in the machine (as the employee might have done out of habit or whatever) it requires you sign. Why wouldn’t you…?
Calvin, IMO, when you make a payment on a Credit card, like a Master-Card at Can T., all you need is receipt acknowledging such. You are giving them money. Why would they need a signature? They got money from you and gave you a receipt acknowledging such. If anything, they should sign a receipt that they received money from you (maybe). There’s no need for your signature.
If you receive goods or cash-back or something similar using a credit card, for sure, sign it.
