Okay. I'm ordering pizza and I have to make a check using my moms checks.

Regarding the signature part at the bottom right, does it matter if the signature has to look like my moms? Do they even bother checking it? or no?

Legally the signature has to be hers, but if you can get it close enough that nobody notices...

What's the pizza guy going to check it against?
