Chicken sub

My friend, Maya, and I were on our way home from a long night of clubbing in a taxi on Sunday. We cruised away from the club for about 10 minutes when our driver slowed down and pulled to the side of the road. He said, "I'm just going to stop in here and get a chicken sub." I said, "What??" He responded, "I'm just going to stop in here and get a chicken sub." I said, "A chicken sub?!?!" He told me, "Yes, I'm hungry." I told him I was hungry too. Maya said, "Are you getting one for us?" He said, "What??" I told him, "If you get a chicken sub for yourself, you need to get one for each of us. You can't just get a chicken sub and get back in the car eating it and having it smell all good and not get one for us too." "Oh," he responded, "never mind." Then he pulled into the traffic and drove away.
Who does that?!?! Who gets a chicken sub while driving a cab? Since when is it ok to eat while driving a cab? Since when is it ok to stop for snacks while driving a cab? That's why we ain't free! Oppression via chicken! Black people unite against the tyranny of poultry!
I'm gonna organize a boycott. Who's with me?
