It's probably a sign they got screwed over by fraudulent cards. Or they
suspect your signature doesn't match the signature on the receipt. Or
both.

It usually only happens to me when I get a new card, and forget to sign
it. Most merchants don't care regardless.

I think it once happened to me that a cashier looked at the card, said
You didn't sign it yet, and handed it to me to sign. Or I may have
merely heard the story about someone else.
