It is not an insult, and they are not trying to rush you, it is just a cultural difference. I think the reason we are so time conscious is purely because of the number of hours we spend at work. We have less vacation time and longer work weeks than most other countries, so we are always in a hurry. I think that this limited amount of free time is also the reason there are so many fast food places and that there is an obesity issue. When you spend 50+ hours a week at a desk, you have very little time to cook/workout and you are stressed, fat, and always in a hurry to get daily chores done. PS. if you are in Texas, there are much better places to get steaks than Applebee's.
