Yes, unfortunately it is intentional. Anything a facility can do to keep folks from holding things up at the dump station.

Dump stations are for dumping your tank, not flushing it. I would never sit there flushing if someone's waiting behind me. But I have if there's no one waiting. If you want to flush your tank go get a FHU site. There you can flush to your hearts content!

Yep - hose cut off to keep folks from sitting there flushing while others wait.
Exactly... while I am sure that some people here can quickly attach to the black tank flush without disturbing others behind them, there are certainly 100 more who take their sweet time, regardless of a line behind them.
Dump stations are DUMP stations. If you want to polish and sanitize the inside of your black tank, you should do it at a private dump site, at a full hook up site, or on your own property.
