Signatures are required for chip card transactions above a certain
dollar amount, with that dollar amount varying from merchant to
merchant.  I ran into this at the Sprint store when I used a chip card
to pay $800+ for my company's overdue wireless bill, and I had to apply
pen to paper by hand.  And I didn't do my usual response to "sign here":
draw a triangle and put "yield" in it.
