   That really happens when you walk instead of driving.  Not to mention   
   that if you're walking, it's okay to stop by at a store.  If you're   
   driving, it's not okay because (at least where I live), it's never easy   
   to find a parking place.  And you might not want to interrupt the song   
   that's playing or get out of the air conditioning.
