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.
