Do terminals in the US even ask this anymore? I've noticed on a lot of independent merchant terminals in the US it just seems to print out two receipts which both have signature sections on them and one of them has to be signed. By this point the transaction seems to be over from the terminals point of view.
Terminals aren't always particularly clear though, I know in Marks and Spencers in the UK, the POS just asks "Is card valid?".
