Friendly game/GM meet then absolutely. Its part of the day and a chance to relax for a few minutes and enjoy a bit of a laugh about the first holes played. In a comp, I'll be honest and say no as I'd like to keep moving if I had a decent score going and would be keen to get it over and done with if it was a disaster. In a matchplay scenario it would be down to the general consensus and I'd go with the flow.
Surely if a group stops and the ones behind have no intention, they should be able to carry on and effectively play through. I can't see how stopping means you are thereby forcing everyone else to do so. I think Sunningdale is the best halfway hut I've had the pleasure of eating in although the one at Camberley on such a hot day was like an oasis in the desert. Mind you it was a real struggle to get up and moving again and I think the halfway curse definitely impacted the scorecard for a few holes.
