The waitress at the restaurant didn't say anything, probably because I am mistaken for Mariah Carey all the time. Except for the goatee and the back hair, we are like twins.
We never accepted credit cards. Or, when we did, I never worked the register.
It doesn't surprise me, really, that it'd be a little slack. I mean, yeah, we're not forensic experts, I can't be sure if it's his signature or not. But I know he isn't Zeus. Or Mariah Carey. And I would at least HOPE that signing 'istolethiscard' or 'pleasecheckid' might at least warrent some investigation.
Nobody ever signs the backs of their cards. I haven't, and the only customers I ever see that do sign it PLEASE CHECK ID, which I don't need to since the ID was checked to pull up their account. Plus, when you have a line, checking the signature is rather wasteful of time. People also get upset if their credit card goes out of their site for even a few seconds, so the second I scan it, I hand it back, even before the computer's through processing it. Thats why places like 7-11's have the signature pad on the customers side nowadays, cause people are too paranoid. Now, if it's things like the person signed a drawing or a grid, I'd have to notice that, but people mostly don't bother signing their name anymore, even some of my coworkers don't. Most people just have a squiggly line that trails off like the heart monitor of a dying patient.
