I had a similar conversation with a banker many years ago, back in the day when baseball cards were paid for by checks through the mail. I was endorsing some checks in front of him, and he complained it was just a scribble.
I explained that's what my signature looks like. He asked me if I could write my name more legibly, and I said, "Sure, but do you want my signature to be nice, neat, readable, and unlike any signature I have ever produced thus far in my life, or do you want me to continue to sign my normal, illegible way, which will match the signature cards that are on file here in your bank?"
