Siri, I have a headache.

Question

I tell Siri I have a headache. She tells me she's found 3 drugstores not far from me. One is 6.7mi, one 7.5mi and one 9.8mi. The thing is, there are 3 brand name drugstores just down the road, all less than 1.5 miles from here. Also, it states that the info was provided by Yelp, so I go to Yelp and look for drugstores. It returns the 3 that are down the road.
Why does she want me to drive so far away for some aspirin?

Answer 1

Driving is good.
It'll clear your head.
Siri's plan is to get you in your car and have you drive a few miles down the road so that by the time you get to the drugstore, you may no longer need an aspirin.
It's not that Siri is exactly holistic, but she's wise enough to know that if you don't need an aspirin, better not to take it.
Clever, huh?
Alternatively, she may think you're not where you are. Are other searches also placing you 7 miles away?
