Yup. These are the people who are obsessed with polishing and sanitizing the poop tanks in the camper... all so that they can go back out next month and poop in it again.
If there are people behind me in line, I dump the black and *might* quickly flush the black tank while I am waiting for the gray tank to flush. In my opinion, 5-7 minutes is a reasonable amount of time at the dump station of people are waiting.
That provides enough time to hook up black tank and start the drain process. While black tank is draining, I will hook up the black tank flush (if the dump station has appropriate fittings). Once black tank has ceased draining I close black tank, open gray and start the black tank flush. After about 2 minutes, I open the black tank and allow black and gray to drain. Then I close both drains and allow the black tank flush to fill the black tank a little while I unhook the drain hose.
Then I put away the drain hose, unhook the black flush line, throw away my gloves and move on out. 5-7 minutes total, drained tanks, quick flush of black tank, sufficient water in bottom of black tank and I'm done.
