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!)
