The clickbait title from 2018 was referring to credit-card signatures.

There was still a requirement to sign in the USA in 2018???

Pretty sure Iโve had to sign at least once this year. Lotta freedom tho.
Requirement? No.
Old terminals that weren't replaced/updated? Yeah absolutely. I still periodically have to sign.
I have seen a gas pump have a "press cancel to skip PIN entry" message...
Edit: here it is https://imgur.com/bypass-pin-veorkyV
Usually they ask for the zip code of the billing address, and if you found a card, there's a good chance you'd be in that zip code.
just because us statesians have heard of PINs doesn't mean we know how to use them
USA problems
Just at Walmart? Because tons businesses still requiring it even on small amounts. Fucking annoying.
