You joke about it, but that's a very easy way to pull fraud. Get a friend to do it with his signature or a made up one and if the merchant doesn't check to see if it matches the card, they'll lose the cash when the report it as fraud.
Two things though. If the merchant has hidden cameras, a warrant will be put out for your friend's arrest.
Also, for a transaction that large, they might ask for some valid ID, and they might also call Visa to make sure the information you're friend gives them corresponds with what Visa has (name, address, etc)
