Sounds like loner consumerism to me.
What if the driver making a statement to someone else in the car?
Does it respond only to the driver, or also to the bored kid wanting food simply as a distraction?
Why suggest a restaurant instead of, say, the sandwiches the driver brought?
Who gets to prioritize which restaurant to mention?
Why suggest a restaurant and not grocery store?
Or, make a statement like "you are five minutes from home, you can wait", or "what? You just had lunch 45 minutes ago and you've been complaining about your weight, so drink some water instead."

- kergonath 2y ago> Who gets to prioritize which restaurant to mention? That’s an easy one! Whatever restaurant or fast-food chain paid the most, obviously. That’s be triple-dipping: get money for the car, get money from the “customer” because obviously such premium features require a subscription, and then get money from businesses who want to attract the “customer”. The best thing is that you can do the same with service stations. Or car parks.
