Weeeeell,
I was living in France in spring 2005 when the chip and pin systems went
live there.
There was a very short period where cards without chip and pin did not
work.
Two days later, facing the inability to take money from foreigners,
signature-based transactions were back.
Sometimes (including in the UK) the shop-owner may sigh in a dramatic
way as they reach for the pen, but money is money!

The more tricky part are cases where there's nobody around to check a
signature (ticket machines in Stockholm come to mind).
Best regards, Julian
