> America is so stuck in legacy tech. Nobody checks signatures.

The USPS sadly still forces credit card users to have signatures on the back. They don't check signatures against the PIN pad / signed receipts, but the clerk will either yell at you or refuse the transaction if you have "Ask For Drivers License" on the back of the card. This has happened to me on more than one occasion.

You might just have one particularly anal Post Office.
Nope; happened in Boston and NYC. They have signs up at each one specifically saying they want a signed credit card.
