Don't you judge it on how fast your line is moving on the main road? I do. If your line is blocked up ahead and you can see that there is, say, a red light about 100 yards up the main road, then I'd let them out, if they've clearly been waiting for a while. It's no real skin off anyone's nose. However, if the line you're in is moving at anything more than about five miles per hour, then no, I'd carry on going, because that does definitely inconvenience the people behind you. It's circumstances that determine it, surely?
I do something like this but if there’s a red light 100 yards ahead I’d be reluctant to let them out because this would mean that someone who has been queuing with me but behind me wouldn’t get through the red light because of my decision - so my act of kindness would have the adverse effect on the person waiting in my queue.
