Economics, same reason why it's now common to be have the signature waived
entirely on small purchases of $25-50.  It's cheaper to eat the occasional
loss on "card present" purchases than it is to verify or even require a
signature.  You don't see that much in a gas station but something like
Target might need an extra cashier to keep the lines from getting too long.
