I might be overthinking this but... To be fair that doesn't seem intentional at all. She just doesn't understand Sphinx customs of asking riddles just as Sphinx doesn't understand pony customs of actually saying "Hi, how are you?".
Also I have to agree with Wayne. I mean you of course don't have to be a jerk, politeness is the key to tips anyways, but I mean... a friend of mine from another country (That's doing way better than mine so go figure) tells me how these delivery guys, [especially the ones with big backpacks](https://c8.alamy.com/compes/2c4thbk/conductores-de-entrega-de-bicicletas-para-uber-eats-y-otros-servicios-esperando-pedidos-de-entrega-en-una-calle-muy-transitada-en-belo-horizonte-brasil-durante-covid-19-2c4thbk.jpg), are often 'camping' for any kind of delivery they have to do, and when they get to do it, they can't even get the full tip because I think the company takes more than 50% of it. And I'm not sure personally how they work but I think the payment for the food doesn't go to them either
That's not mentioning the whole 'Company decides how much you get paid' and that customers can get really annoying (We know how humans overall can be, they'll meet a lot of Karens xd), and of course the usual danger of having a motorcycle around, if someone wants it they're probably don't value your life higher than getting that bike and you end up dead (I often get to hear delivery guys being murdered or assaulted badly in the news of my country)
And of course, as far as I'm told; you can't get sick, you can't take vacations, you have a dependency relationship with the company because if you stop doing it you don't get the small amount of money to pay for your own stuff, and according to these delivery guys the money is not enough to live with, and they have to be fast to make as much money as they can for the day. So in this case I'd just assume the pony immediately imagined that the Sphinx would be one of those 'difficult customers'.

Also to be fair, she'd have no way to know that's insulting for her (Except by perhaps being told by the staff, but would they really go out of their way to explain the cultures of varying species to a delivery guy?) I mean, as an example, _some_ things you've said through the years would've been considered insulting and either get reciprocated by irritation, insults or physical confrontation where I live (Tho we're hotheads here and get angry at anything, so I give you that xd, I just want to point out that everyone might do things that they don't know it's insulting for others, especially if they're from different cultures, [like if I made the V finger sign in UK](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_sign#As_an_insult)).
I... Might be overthinking this, sorry if I was mean.... and sorry for taking so seriously an image... it's just... considering the circumstances of where I live and what happens with others that leave from here to other countries... idk... I feel I had to say this.
This post can get deleted if it's breaking the rules, no worries. I think I wasn't feeling too good today... *Starts to vanish a la Endgame* and most if not all I say it's from either these same delivery guys talking, denouncing rights abuse, or from friends that actually use the service and of course talk to the delivery guys.
~~I feel so anxious posting this I might as well die aaaa~~
