Because when I told the taxi driver that I was "a bit peckish", rather than take me to a nice greasy spoon where I can swallow a nice meal in 5 minutes, pay $5 and leave.... he took me to the Ritz where I had to wait for a waiter to talk my ear off about the pastrami whilst being presented a wine menu.
I ain't got time for that, I just wanted to satiate my hunger!
