When asked for more details, she said she would simple take a pencil and piece of paper and do a pencil rub copy. I refused and she insisted. I told her to wait a minute and I called the business and was told, that yes indeed that is what they did. When I said, absolutely not, they said, well sign the receipt and say you refused verification. Weird. I don't use a card for delivery now.

Good move, bk - makes sense!
Nowadays, the technology and information exists that companies can verify name and billing address via a credit card number. Had the person simply asked you for a picture ID to legitimize the transaction, that would have been a logical request.
