As noted in the article and alluded to in my comment, the cashier visually verifies that the person requesting the charge matches the photo that appears on their screen. That's a whole lot better than the pretend 'signature verification' purporting to deter other kinds of card misuse.

Or just someone that doesn't care about their job that much putting their friends pack of gum on the same tab as the guy being 100 things.
