Here, I need to sign the receipt before the transaction is valid, and the
sum is printed on the receipt. I think it's the same as with credit cards.
Isn't that the case in US, or did the person just not look at what he
signed? If the latter, tell me where he's at - I've got a few papers for
him to sign...
