shutting down generator with air conditioner running

I know the ideal scenario would be to shut off the A/C at the thermostat prior to turning off the generator, but in practice I'm sometimes pulling into a gas station with the generator and air running...

Best practice shut down the air conditioner. Wait a while (5 minutes) and then shut down the generator. The same applies to large inverters.

My Yamaha has a switch to shut down the power.
