Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express have either already stopped or will soon no longer require customers to sign their receipts when checking out.

Who the hell makes customers sign the receipt? I've only seen an employee sign it, and that's for a return/refund.

I only need to do that at IKEA in a European country.

I've never had to sign a receipt in Europe.
I'm a European citizen.

I'm a European citizen. I bet it differs from country to country, but where I live, there are very rare cases they have you sign them. I believe it's when you don't actually pay on the spot, but rather give them a permission to withdraw that amount of money from my account later (SEPA Lastschriftmandat). Not sure why you would opt for that option as a business. To a customer it works the same, except the latter option takes longer.
