In response to the question, "Why do some restaurants make you sign
the guest check as well as the credit voucher?":

More often than you would think, guests forget to sign the voucher.
Having them sign the guest check not only reminds the food server
to obtain both signatures, but also serves as a backup signature in
case the voucher is unsigned.  In that case, the restaurant may
submit the voucher to the credit card company with "Signature On File"
written on the signature line.  (This, by the way, is also how mail
order companies submit orders, so make sure that you check all your
receipts when you get them back!)
